Abstract

Enabled and driven by modern advances in wireless telecommunication and artificial intelligence, the convergence of communication, computing, and control is becoming inevitable in future industrial applications. Analytical and optimizing frameworks, however, are not yet readily developed for this new technical trend. In this work we discuss the necessity and typical scenarios of this convergence, and propose a new approach to model the system-level reliability across all involved domainss
