Cyber-Physical Systems and Social Machines

A Data-Centric Framework for Cyber-Physical-Social Systems

C yber-physical systems (CPSs) enable the physical world to merge with the virtual world by integrating computation and physical processes. A CPS facilitates tight integration between computa tion, communication, and con trol in its operation and interactions with the environment in which it’s deployed. Now, in addition to embracing cyber and physical features, interest is growing in harnessing...

Online Communities for Agent Collaboration in Cyber-Physical-Social Systems

The paper focuses on resource collaboration in cyber-physical-social systems. Technologies of ontologies, intelligent agents, and online communities are used to enable interoperability of human and non-human resources. An agent ontology and major principles of agent collaboration are proposed. The proposed ontology is based on the earlier developed ontology for resource selforganization. That o...

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 ...

Cyber-Physical Systems and Events

This paper discusses event-based semantics in the context of the emerging concept of Cyber Physical Systems and describes two related formal models concerning policy-based coordination and Interactive Agents.
