Optimal Multi-level Information utilisation
Due to the necessity to combine several interconnected subsystems of different size playing different roles at different time-scale, we aim to obtain a holistic approach for hierarchical control systems.  Main target is to define specifications for the subsystems and the system as a whole, and to implement (de)compositional approaches for ensuring stability and optimal interconnection. Consequently, the information sharing needs to be adapted accordingly.
