Collaborating Multiple System Instances of Smart Cyber-physical Systems: A Problem Situation, Solution Idea, and Remaining Research Challenges

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are complex distributed heterogeneous systems which integrating cyber and physical processes by computation, communication and control. During interaction between cyber and physical world, the traditional theories and applications has been difficult to satisfy real-time performance and efficient. Cyber-physical systems clearly have a role to play in developing a new theory of computer-mediated physical systems. The aim of this work is to analysis the features and relation technology of CPS that get better understanding for this new field. We summarized the research progresses from different perspectives such as modeling, classical tools and applications. Finally, the research challenges for CPS are in brief outlined.

Open Issues

Safeguarding both safety and cybersecurity is paramount to the smooth and trustworthy operation of contemporary cyber physical systems, many of which support critical functions and services. As safety and security have been known to be interdependent, they need to be jointly considered in such systems. As a result, various approaches have been proposed to address safety and cybersecurity co-engineering in cyber physical systems. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of safety and cybersecurity co-engineering methods, and discusses relevant open issues and research challenges. Despite the extent of the existing literature, several aspects of the subject still remain to be fully addressed.

Increasing Demand

One of the latest emerging class of systems which implants cyber features into the physical world is the Cyber Physical System (CPS), which provides a platform for interaction between physical world and virtual world. CPS promises to transform the physical world to virtual world through interaction similar to human interaction with each other. With the increasing demand of cyber physical systems in various applications, it requires wide variety of communication protocols for reliable and real time data transmission. The low- power and low – cost features of some canonical protocols lead to some short falls, reliability and timeliness. In this paper, we discuss an extensive survey on MAC protocols and Research challenges for enhancing the QoS in CPS.
