Virtualizing Cyber‐Physical Systems: Bringing CPS to Online Education
نویسنده
چکیده
The advent of the massive open online course promises to bring world-class education to anyone with internet access. Instructors use blended models of education to deliver course content via video, text, interactive assignments, exams, wikis, and discussion forums. Courses with largely theoretical content are readily adapted to blended models for online audiences, but significant challenges arise when incorporating projectbased learning and interactive experiments. Cyber-physical systems courses commonly include experiments that explore the interplay between computation and physics and are especially subject to the challenges of bringing experimentation and projectbased learning to online audiences. We describe technical aspects of embedded and cyber-physical systems laboratory exercises used at the University of California, Berkeley, and investigate avenues for adapting this content to a massive open online course.

A Hands-on Education Program on Cyber Physical Systems for High School Students
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are the conjoining of an entities’ physical and computational elements. The development of a typical CPS system follows a sequence from conceptual modeling, testing in simulated (virtual) worlds, testing in controlled (possibly laboratory) environments and finally deployment. Throughout each (repeatable) stage, the behavior of the physical entities, the sensing and ...

A Cyber-Physical Systems (or CPS) is a system that combines and coordinates physical and computational elements. The CPS incorporates the ability to act in the physical world with the intelligence of cyber world to add new features to real-world physical systems [1]. Among the various fields of activity of the CPS, can cite security systems, robotics, education, among others. Educational enviro...
متن کاملThe Towers of Hanoi as a Cyber-Physical System Education Case Study
While extensive use of software in technical systems necessitates a multi-domain systems perspective education has increasingly focused on specific fields of engineering science. Project-based learning (PBL) attempts to overcome this disconnect with authentic problem solving at the core of the approach. A medium-sized Cyber-physical system (CPS) is presented that includes sufficient detail to h...

متن کاملOn the State of the Art in Verification and Validation in Cyber Physical Systems
It is widely held that debugging cyber-physical systems (CPS) is challenging. However, few empirical studies quantitatively and qualitatively capture the state of the art and the state of the practice in debugging CPS and analyze what major research gaps remain. This paper presents an empirical study of verification and validation in CPS through three complementary methods: a structured on-line...
