Offers a one-stop reference on the application of advanced modeling
and simulation (M&S) in cyber physical systems (CPS) engineering
This book provides the state-of-the-art in methods and technologies that
aim to elaborate on the modeling and simulation support to cyber
physical systems (CPS) engineering across many sectors such as
healthcare, smart grid, or smart home. It presents a compilation of
simulation-based methods, technologies, and approaches that encourage
the reader to incorporate simulation technologies in their CPS
engineering endeavors, supporting management of complexity challenges in
such endeavors.
Complexity Challenges in Cyber Physical Systems: Using Modeling and
Simulation (M&S) to Support Intelligence, Adaptation and Autonomy is
laid out in four sections. The first section provides an overview of
complexities associated with the application of M&S to CPS Engineering.
It discusses M&S in the context of autonomous systems involvement within
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The second section
provides a more detailed description of the challenges in applying
modeling to the operation, risk and design of holistic CPS. The third
section delves in details of simulation support to CPS engineering
followed by the engineering practices to incorporate the cyber element
to build resilient CPS sociotechnical systems. Finally, the fourth
section presents a research agenda for handling complexity in
application of M&S for CPS engineering. In addition, this text:
- Introduces a unifying framework for hierarchical co-simulations of
cyber physical systems (CPS)
- Provides understanding of the cycle of macro-level behavior
dynamically arising from spaciotemporal interactions between parts at
the micro-level
- Describes a simulation platform for characterizing resilience of CPS
Complexity Challenges in Cyber Physical Systems has been written for
researchers, practitioners, lecturers, and graduate students in computer
engineering who want to learn all about M&S support to addressing
complexity in CPS and its applications in today's and tomorrow's world.
