A Cyber-Physical System-based Approach for Industrial Automation Systems

—Industrial automation systems (IASs) are commonly developed using the languages defined by the IEC 61131 standard and are executed on PLCs. Their software part is considered after the development and integration of mechanics and electronics. This approach narrows the solution space for software and is considered inadequate to address the complexity of today's systems. In this paper, a system-b...

Guest Editorial Leveraging Design Automation Techniques for Cyber-Physical System Design

The research on cyber-physical systems (CPSs) addresses the close interactions between the embedded cyber components and the dynamic physical components that could involve mechanical components, energy systems, human activities, and surrounding environment. Some example CPSs include automotive systems, energy systems, robot systems, and cyber-physical biochip systems. The design of CPS involves...

Design of an Intelligent System for Evaluation of Science Parks

The science parks have important role in development of technology and are able to make economic growth of the countries. The purpose of this paper is the presentation of a Fuzzy Expert System (FIS) as Intelligent Systems to evaluate the science and technology parks. One of the problems for evaluating Science and Technology parks is to have the high number of criteria and science parks which AH...

An Intelligent System for Improving Energy Efficiency in Building Using Ontology and Building Automation Systems

Energy efficiency is a keyword that can be found nowadays in all domains in which energy demand exists. The steadily rising energy demand, the consequent energy scarcity and rising prices of energy resources are forcing companies and people to redefine their activities in a more energy efficient way. Besides industry and transportation, the building sector is the most important energy consumer,...
