V-model based development of cyber-physical systems and cyber-physical production systems

Model-Integrated Development of Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems represent a new class of systems that integrate physics with computation. Their correct design is frequently of great importance as they are applied in safetyor business-critical contexts. This paper introduces a model-integrated development approach that addresses the development needs of such systems through the pervasive use of models. A complete model-based view is pr...

Cyber physical systems based model-driven development for precision agriculture

In the last few years, a paradigm shift has been identified, from Complex Adaptive Systems towards Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems. Systems that can integrate physical with virtual environments are creating complex systems. By connecting sensor data, actuator systems within a virtual environment information analysis is enhanced. The focus of the present paper is to disc...

Industrial Cyber – Physical Systems

Dependable Cyber-Physical Systems

CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) enable a new class of applications that perceive their surroundings using raw data from sensors, monitor the timing of dynamic processes, and control the physical environment. Since failures and misbehaviors in application domains such as cars, medical devices, nuclear power plants, etc., may cause significant damage to life and/or property, CPS need to be safe and ...

Gardening Cyber-Physical Systems

Today’s artefacts, from small devices to buildings and cities, are, or are becoming, cyber-physical socio-technical systems, with tightly interwoven material and computational parts. Currently, we have to laboriously build such systems, component by component, and the results are often difficult to maintain, adapt, and reconfigure. Even “soft”ware is brittle and non-trivial to adapt and change....
