Fidelity of Cyber-Physical Empirical Methods

High Fidelity Virtualization of Cyber-physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) tightly integrate cyber and physical components and transcend discrete and continuous domains. It is greatly desired that the synergy between cyber and physical components of CPS is explored even before the complete system is put together. Virtualization has potential to play a significant role in exploring such synergy. In this paper, we propose a CPS virtualizatio...

Control-Theoretic Methods for Cyber-Physical Security

Cyber-physical systems integrate physical processes, computational resources, and communication capabilities. Cyber-physical systems have permeated modern society becoming prevalent in many domains including energy production, health care, and telecommunications. Examples of cyber-physical systems include sensor networks, industrial automation systems , and critical infrastructures such as tran...

Thesis Proposal: Integration of Modeling Methods for Cyber-Physical Systems

Towards Integration of Modeling Methods for Cyber-Physical Systems

Safety-critical Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are growing increasingly more distributed, autonomous, and embedded in our society. CPS engineering relies on modeling methods from different fields. Such methods are difficult to combine due to their complexity and heterogeneity. Inconsistencies between models and analyses can lead to implicit design errors, which lead to critical CPS failures. Exis...

Engineering Methods and Tools for Cyber-Physical Automation Systems

| Much has been published about potential benefits of the adoption of cyber–physical systems (CPSs) in manufacturing industry. However, less has been said about how such automation systems might be effectively configured and supported through their lifecycles and how application modeling, visualization, and reuse of such systems might be best achieved. It is vitally important to be able to inco...
