CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS Provides a unique general theory of cyber-physical systems, focusing on how physical, data, and decision processes are articulated as a complex whole.
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) operate in complex environments systems with integrated physical and computational capabilities. With the ability to interact with humans through variety of modalities, cyber-physical systems are applied across areas such as Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices, smart grids, autonomous automotive systems, medical monitoring, and distributed robotics. Existing engineering methods are capable of solving technical problems, yet the deployment of CPS in a net-enabled society requires a general theory of cyber-physical systems that goes beyond specific study cases and their associated technological development.
Cyber-physical Systems: Theory, Methodology, and Applications is a unique theoretical-methodological guide to assessing systems where complex information processing defines the behavior of physical processes. Using a systematic approach, the book describes the fundamentals of cybernetics, complexity sciences, system engineering, concepts of data and information, the data dissemination process, graph theory, and more. Readers are provided with the general theory, methodological framework, and analytical tools to assess and design CPS for applications in transport, energy, communication, health care, the military, and industry.
Three layers of all CPSs All CPSs are constituted by at least three layers and three cross‐layer processes as follows.
- Physical layer refers to material systems that are related to physical realities and level 0 processes. It is constituted by direct relations whose dynamics are determined and constrained by physical laws.
- Measuring or sensing refers to the cross‐layer process that maps physical‐layer phenomena into measured and/or sensed attributes. This process determines the relation between the physical and data layers.
- Data layer refers to symbolic processes of levels greater than 0 and grounded in the physical layer. It is constituted by data, data processes, and logical relations, which are potentially unbounded but always subjected to energy and information limits. This layer is associated with the cyber domain of CPSs.
- Informing refers to the cross‐layer process of communicating potentially informative data to decision‐makers and agents. Note that informing processes can happen among decision‐makers and between decision‐makers and agents.
- Decision layer refers to decision‐making processes about actions concerning possible interventions in all three layers and cross‐layer processes.
- Acting refers to actions taken by agents following the informative data generated through decision‐making processes.
