Biography :
Zdenek Hanzalek obtained his Ph.D. degree in Industrial Informatics from the Universite Paul
Sabatier Toulouse and a Ph.D. degree in Control Engineering from the CTU. in 1997. He worked
on a parallel algorithm optimization at LAAS CNRS in Toulouse (1992 to 1997) and LAG INPG in
Grenoble (1998 to 2000). Later he founded the Industrial Informatics Group at CTU in Prague,
dealing with combinatorial optimization, scheduling, autonomous cars, and real-time embedded systems.
Zdenek teaches a Combinatorial Optimization course, and he is active in the scheduling
community while driving the worldwide seminar schedulingseminar.com. He acquired and led
many industrial contracts (e.g., Porsche, Skoda, Volkswagen, UNIS, AZD, Rockwell,
Air Navigation Services, EATON, PPL). Besides this, Zdenek acted as the founder of
the SW development group at Porsche Engineering Services in Prague, which has several
hundreds of employees today. He is the author or co-author of 55 journal papers and approximately
70 conference papers, mainly dealing with applications of optimization algorithms in computer and manufacturing systems.
Keynote title: Periodic Scheduling in Automated Cars
R&D in automated cars represents an attractive challenge for every control engineer. This talk will present
an application with experiments and optimal use of the car's infrastructure.
First, we deal with an automated car aimed at performing a slalom use case defined by Porsche Engineering.
The positions of the cones are not known, they may have unequal distances, and the U-turns may be symmetric
or asymmetric. Namely, we show our trajectory planning algorithm based on optimization techniques using an external
layer deciding a position of the nearest waypoint and an internal layer generating the optimal trajectory.
The system's validation with Porsche Panamera reveals interesting observations about the components' precision,
frequency, and sensitivity.
Second, we deal with the determinism and efficiency of the car's infrastructure. We suggest time-triggered
scheduling algorithms to guarantee timing requirements of safety functionalities implemented as computational
tasks and communication messages. Namely, we focus on the periodic scheduling of messages on FlexRay and IEEE 802.1Qbv
Time-Sensitive Networks.
Everything must be safe and fast since we desire safe and fast automated cars.

Keynote title: The Emergence of Cognitive Digital Twins
As a key enabling technology of Industry 4.0, Digital Twin (DT) has already been applied to various industrial domains covering different lifecycle phases of products and systems. To fully realize the Industry 4.0 vision, it is necessary to integrate multiple relevant DTs of a system according to a specific mission. This requires integrating all available data, information and knowledge related to the system across its entire lifecycle. It is a challenging task due to the high complexity of modern industrial systems. Semantic technologies such as ontology and knowledge graphs provide potential solutions by empowering DTs with augmented cognitive capabilities. The Cognitive Digital Twin (CDT) concept has been recently proposed which reveals a promising evolution of the current DT concept towards a more intelligent, comprehensive, and full lifecycle representation of complex systems. In this keynote speech the concept of CDT and its key features will be presented, together with some application cases developed in collaborative projects with EU industries.
