Development of cyber-physical production systems based on modelling Technologies

On the Diagnosis of Cyber-Physical Production Systems

Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPSs) are in the focus of research, industry and politics: By applying new IT and new computer science solutions, production systems will become more adaptable, more resource efficient and more user friendly. The analysis and diagnosis of such systems is a major part of this trend: Plants should detect automatically wear, faults and suboptimal configurations....

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...

Nondeducibility-Based Analysis of Cyber-Physical Systems

Controlling information flow in a cyber-physical system (CPS) is challenging because cyber domain decisions and actions manifest themselves as visible changes in the physical domain. This paper presents a nondeducibility-based observability analysis for CPSs. In many CPSs, the capacity of a low-level (LL) observer to deduce high-level (HL) actions ranges from limited to none. However, a collabo...
