Timely response to changes of monitored objects is the key to ensuring the safety and reliability of cyber-physical systems (CPSs). There are two kinds of tasks in CPSs: update tasks and control tasks. Update tasks are responsible for updating the data in the system based on the state of the objects they monitor. Control tasks are responsible for making decisions based on the data in the system. The response time of the system to the change of a monitored object consists of two parts: the time taken by update tasks to reflect the change to the system, and the time taken by control tasks to make decisions according to the data in the system. Deadlines and periods of update tasks and control tasks directly affect the response time. Reasonable deadline and period assignment is the key to ensuring timely response to the changes of monitored objects. In this paper, we study the deadline and period assignment in CPSs. To the best of our knowledge, all existing work only focuses on the deadline and period assignment for update tasks with the goal of ensuring the freshness of the data in CPSs, and this is the first study focusing on the deadline and period assignment for both update tasks and control tasks with the goal of ensuring timely response to the changes of monitored objects. A new problem about response time control and system workload control is defined in this paper. Two deadline and period assignment methods are proposed to solve the defined problem. All the proposed methods can be used in the CPSs adopting the earliest deadline first (EDF) scheduling method. Experiments with randomly generated tasks are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods in terms of acceptance ratio and execution efficiency.

Abstract The factory of the future scenario asks for new approaches to cope with the incoming challenges and complexity of cyber-physical systems. The role of database management systems is becoming central for control and automation technology in this new industrial scenario. This article proposes database-centric technology and architecture that aims to seamlessly integrate networking, artificial intelligence, and real-time control issues into a unified model of computing. The proposed methodology is also viable for the development of a framework that features simulation and rapid prototyping tools for smart and advanced industrial automation. The full expression of the potentialities in the presented approach is expected in particular for applications where tiny and distributed embedded devices collaborate to a shared computing task of relevant complexity.

the development of the smart home has broken many the traditional ways, which are a new, comfortable, convenient way for people to live and work in a better environment. Smart home services should be completed within the effective time-related tasks, and real-time control strategy plays an important role. CPS is a complicated distributed control system,interaction between cyber world and physical world by computation, communication and control. CPS provides methods of the compositionality, distributed Sensing, physical interfaces and human interfaces integration that could help smart home system become more intelligent and humanization. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of CPS and Smart home system, design an architectural of CPS for smart home.

A platform for the engineering design, performance, and control of an adaptive wind turbine blade is presented. This environment includes a simulation model, integrative design tool, and control framework. The authors are currently developing a novel blade with an adaptive twist angle distribution (TAD). The TAD influences the aerodynamic loads and thus, system dynamics. The modeling platform facilitates the use of an integrative design tool that establishes the TAD in relation to wind speed. The outcome of this design enables the transformation of the TAD during operation. Still, a robust control method is required to realize the benefits of the adaptive TAD. Moreover, simulation of the TAD is computationally expensive. It also requires a unique approach for both partial and full-load operation. A framework is currently being developed to relate the TAD to the wind turbine and its components. Understanding the relationship between the TAD and the dynamic system is crucial in the establishment of real-time control. This capability is necessary to improve wind capture and reduce system loads. In the current state of development, the platform is capable of maximizing wind capture during partial-load operation. However, the control tasks related to Region 3 and load mitigation are more complex. Our framework will require high-fidelity modeling and reduced-order models that support real-time control. The paper outlines the components of this framework that is being developed. The proposed platform will facilitate expansion and the use of these required modeling techniques. A case study of a 20 kW system is presented based upon the partial-load operation. The study demonstrates how the platform is used to design and control the blade. A low-dimensional aerodynamic model characterizes the blade performance. This interacts with the simulation model to predict the power production. The design tool establishes actuator locations and stiffness properties required for the blade shape to achieve a range of TAD configurations. A supervisory control model is implemented and used to demonstrate how the simulation model blade performs in the case study.
