(Stevens Institute Series on Complex Systems and Enterprises) 1st Edition
by Saurabh Mittal (Editor), Andreas Tolk (Editor)
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.
