Service Composition Issues in Cyber Physical Systems and Middleware Design

Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience, 2018

Today Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) has spanned through all Smart Applications of day to day life. These applications range from Smart Transportation, Smart Water Management, Smart Grid, Smart Office, Smart Home Automation and many more. The services provided by CPS applications is making our life easy but in comparisons with software services provided by Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the services provided by CPS are different in many aspects. As there is a tight coupling of cyber and physical space so while defining and describing the CPS Service, we need to take into consideration the involvement and impact of physical space too. Besides that Service Composition is one of the major challenge present in Cyber Physical systems which by definition means to combine more than one services to achieve a specific task where individual services are not sufficient. So we need to consider provisioning of appropriate resource also in order to achieve the job of service composition. And while solving this Service Composition and Resource Provisioning challenges, we need to take care of the inherent challenges of CPS as well. In this paper we present issues in SC and then a middleware approach to resolve issues of Service Composition and Resource Provisioning challenge which considers Resource as well as Service simultaneously.

Cyber Physical System: Architecture, Applications and Research Challenges

Cyber world and physical world were considered as two different entities in the past decade. However, researchers have found that these two entities are closely correlated with each other after integration of sensor/actuators in the cyber systems. Cyber systems became responsive to the physical world by enabling real time control emanating from conventional embedded systems, thus emerging a new research paradigm named Cyber Physical System (CPS). In this article, we investigate major challenges in the integration of cyber world with physical world and its applications. In addition, we propose an architecture which contains several modules supporting the CPS. We found that every module in our proposed architecture has its own significance and can be applied to various applications.

Cyber-Physical Systems: A Literature Review

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are smart systems that depend on the synergy of cyber and physical components. They link the physical world (e.g. through sensors, actuators, robotics, and embedded systems) with the virtual world of information processing. Applications of CPS have the tremendous potential of improving convenience, comfort, and safety in our daily life. This paper provides a brief introduction to CPSs and their applications. Introduction The term " cyber-physical system " (CPS) was coined in 2006 by Helen Gill of the US National Science Foundation (Henshaw, 2016). As the name suggests, CPS has both cyber (software control) and physical (mechanism) elements. Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are engineered systems that are designed to interact seamlessly with networks of physical and computational components. These systems will provide the foundation of our critical infrastructure and improve our quality of life in many areas. CPSs and related systems (such as IoT and industrial Internet) have the potential to impact various sectors of the economy worldwide. CPS is basically an engineering discipline, focused on technology and modeling physical processes (differential equations, stochastic processes, etc.) with mathematical abstractions. In a CPS, computing elements coordinate and communicate with sensors, which monitor cyber and physical indicators and actuators. CPS is also similar to the Internet of Things (IoT), sharing the same basic architecture (Cyber-physical system, 2017). It is also related to embedded systems. While an embedded system is

A Survey Paper on Cyber Physical Systems

— Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. CPS technology will transform the way people interact with engineered systems. CPS will bring advances in personalized health care, emergency response, traffic flow management, and electric power generation and delivery, as well as in many other areas now just being envisioned. This paper aims for providing an insight into this emerging multidisciplinary methodology.

Challenges and Current Solutions of Cyber Physical Systems

The interaction among people has been increased rapidly due to advances in internet and increased use of smart phones that are now available at all price ranges. The next step is to improve communication among machines by connecting the machines and giving intelligence to them to communicate among machines by connecting the machines and giving intelligence to them to communicate with other machines and also to interact with people. Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are a natural consequence of an increasingly connected physical world. CPS have wide range of applications at the same time there are several challenges to implement these systems. In order to identify the challenges and current solutions and propose research possibilities in different areas of CPS we survey the literature of this area. Our approach is to identify the challenges in different areas of CPS including monitoring and actuator infrastructure, communication network, computation and control operation. We identify different elements in each area and explain the nominal and abnormal behaviour of all the elements. Finally we will explain the current solutions to deal with the abnormal behaviour of the elements.

Emerging cyber-physical systems (CPS) field will impact on every activity of the daily life in the next few years With the increasing advances in ICT information communication technology (ICT), multidisciplinary fields of research such as cyber-physical systems (CPS) have been wide. The emergence of cyber-physical-social systems (CPS) as a novel paradigm has revolutionized the relationship between humans, computers and the physical environment. This paper aims to present a comprehensive overview of CPS key aspects from different points of views such as design, methodology, and key enabler technologies such as sensor networks, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and multi-agent systems. Also, some important applications such as smart cities which are considered as one of the important application that will provide new services for healthcare applications, vehicular networks, energy distribution, the monitoring of environmental changes, business and commerce applications, emergency response, and other social activities and industrial systems are explored.

A Preliminary Study on Architecting Cyber-Physical Systems

Proceedings of the 2015 European Conference on Software Architecture Workshops, 2015

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are deemed as the key enablers of next generation applications. Needless to say, the design, verification and validation of cyber-physical systems reaches unprecedented levels of complexity, specially due to their sensibility to safety issues. Under this perspective, leveraging architectural descriptions to reason on a CPS seems to be the obvious way to manage its inherent complexity. A body of knowledge on architecting CPSs has been proposed in the past years. Still, the trends of research on architecting CPS is unclear. In order to shade some light on the state-of-the art in architecting CPS, this paper presents a preliminary study on the challenges, goals, and solutions reported so far in architecting CPSs.
