Purpose of research. The aim of the research is to form modules of organizational and technical systems (OTS) using a cognitive approach to solve problems of adaptation of cyberphysical systems. Currently, there is a rapid development of elements of the Internet of things. New tasks related to self-organization and adaptation in a rapidly changing external environment are brought to the fore. These tasks occur when new elements appear in the telecommunications computer network, they fail, change the mode, new tasks occur, etc. To work out these tasks, the possibilities of approaches to support and decision-making such as situational, cognitive, and semiotic are considered. The authors consider the cognitive approach in more detail. Within the framework of the cognitive paradigm, the article describes the use of the cognitive approach for solving problems of adaptation of cyberphysical systems. To solve this problem on the basis of an agent-based approach, the structure of a cyberphysical system with the possibility of adaptation is presented and the functions of its agents are described. The main stages of solving problems of adaptation of cyberphysical systems are presented. An adaptation algorithm using the planning mechanism is presented. The demo example shows a knowledge base for solving the problem of adapting cyberphysical systems using a cognitive planning mechanism.Materials and methods of research. New approaches and methods are required to address adaptation issues in planning. The cognitive approach is one of the developing directions in solving many problems of the Internet of things. One of these tasks is the ability to adapt OTS modules in a rapidly changing external environment based on the planning mechanism. To solve the planning problem, we use the algorithm described by Aristotle more than 2,350 years ago and implemented in the GPS program. This algorithm can be considered the first description of the cognitive mechanism that a person uses. The knowledge base uses an integrated approach to knowledge representation. When developing OTS modules, an agent-based approach was used to solve the problem of adaptation.Results. The existing and developing approaches and methods for decision support and decision-making are considered for decisionmaking in newly emerging situations in OTS modules. The main provisions of such significant approaches as situational, cognitive and semiotic are presented. A cognitive approach to the adaptation of intelligent systems is proposed. The solution of the problem of adaptation of cyberphysical systems is considered within the framework of the cognitive paradigm. The structure of a cyberphysical system capable of solving adaptation problems is shown. The functions of OTS modules based on agent-oriented technology are described. A description of the adaptation algorithm using the cognitive planning mechanism is given. The main stages of solving problems of adaptation of cyberphysical systems are presented. A demo example of solving the problem of adaptation by a cyberphysical system-a cooking robot – is shown.Conclusion. Using the modular architecture of an intelligent system allows you to solve many problems. One of these tasks is to configure elements of the Internet of things when they deviate from their main function. The planning mechanisms proposed for parametric adaptation can be repeatedly applied in OTS modules as separate agents. This approach is relevant for elements of the Internet of things. In the case of expanding the functionality of the OTS modules of Internet of things, it is advisable to apply machine learning with fixing the results in the knowledge base of planning agents.

Nowadays, the Internet of things (IoT) is becoming a promising technology which revolutionizes and simplifies our daily life style. It allows interaction and cooperation between a large variety of pervasive objects over wireless and wired connections, in order to achieve specific goals. Moreover, it provides a concise integration of physical world into computer systems through network infrastructure. This paper provides an agent-based architecture for developing IoT systems. The proposed architecture is multi-layer and generic. It encompasses four layers: Physical Component Management, Local Management -Coordination, Global Management-Coordination and Specialized Operative Management Layers. The first one can be seen as a smart layer that ensures connection and communication between things and the system. The second one constitutes the intelligent core of the system which acts locally to ensure coordination and further internal functioning. The third layer ensures coordination between the local system and the externals ones. The last layer supports additional behaviors which are domain dependent. The architecture is illustrated by an IoT system diagnosis.

Purpose of the study. The aim of the study is to create and develop modern cyber physical systems. The evolution of cyber physical systems (CPS) is associated with the development of a cognitive approach within the framework of the application of mechanisms used by humans to solve their daily tasks. In the cognitive approach to working with cyber physical systems, gestalt is considered as one of the ways of solving modern tasks within the framework of the new Industry 4.0 technology. In the cognitive approach a simple task is considered for cyber physical systems of the Internet of Things (CPS IoT) with gestalt processing. When investigating such a task for a simple cyber physical system, it will be possible to use a gestalt with a simple structure. The complication of the task and structure of gestalt can occur with the development of CPS IoT. The article examines an intelligent cyber physical system of the Internet of Things using methods of gestalt processing of their states - a picture of the world, while solving various problems of the Internet of Things.Materials and research methods. To solve tasks within the framework of a cognitive approach to the construction and development of cyber physical systems, new methods and developments of specialists in the field of intelligent systems are required. In the context of Industry 4.0 technologies, the Internet of Things the gestalt processing of CPS IoT is considered. Within the framework of the cognitive approach sensory images, concept-representations, concept-scenarios, concept-gestalts of cyber physical systems are used to interact with the real world. It is important to use concept gestalts that can reflect CPS IoT with new emergent properties. CPS IoT gestalt refers to a certain state of the cyber physical system and its habitat, which occurs when a need arises and closes after the need is satisfied. The main task of gestalt processing for a cyber physical system is to satisfy its needs. The solution to this problem includes: the organization of the collection and the direct collection of the necessary elements for the formation of the gestalt, and later for its closure; the formation of the gestalt; the closure of the gestalt. For the accumulation of experience, its use and development, it is proposed to use machine learning methods. Machine learning results can be presented in the form of concept representations, concept scenarios.Results. The concepts-gestalts of CPS IoT, gestalt processing of CPS IoT are proposed within the framework of the cognitive approach. As the main stages of gestalt processing, the article highlights: - preparation of initial data for the formation of the need for CPS IoT: - formation of an imaginative perception - a picture of the world, including the current state of CPS IoT and necessary for the closure of the gestalt; - formation of gestalt; – formation of initial data for planning the control actions necessary for closing the CPS IoT gestalt; - implementation of control actions to close the CPS IoT gestalt; - saving the gestalt processing scenario for possible reuse in the future. These stages of gestalt processing relate to IoT CPS of any nature and are focused on any tasks of the Internet of Things. The demo example shows the use of gestalt processing for CPS IoT with a simple model without training.Conclusion. The article discusses the cognitive approach that refers to the use and development of intelligent cyber physical systems for the Internet of things and the Internet of everything. A method related to the gestalt processing of CPS IoT situations is proposed, which allows recognizing a need, and forming of a gestalt. Based on the generated CPS IoT gestalt, control actions are planned to close the CPS IoT gestalt. The implementation of the proposed approach, development and use of gestalt concepts will allow to reflect CPS IoT with new emergent properties.

This paper introduces a framework for embedding intelligence in the Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The framework draws upon agent-based modeling, swarm intelligence, social insect behavior, and evolutionary adaptation. The key principles for each of these areas are first discussed. These concepts are then discussed from an IoTs perspective. The resulting capabilities and potential of embedding this type of intelligence are outlined.

AbstractCurrently we are saying that we are at the dawn of the fourth revolution, which is marked by using cyberphysical systems and the Internet of Things. This is marked as Industry 4.0 (I4.0). With Industry 4.0 is also closely linked concept Logistics 4.0. The highly dynamic and uncertain logistic markets and huge logistic networks require new methods, products and services. The concept of the Internet of Things and Services (IoT&S), Big Data/ Data Mining (DM), cloud computing, 3D printing, Blockchain and cyber physical system (CPS) etc. seem to be the probable technical solution for that. However, associated risks hamper its implementation and lack a comprehensive overview. In response, the paper proposes a framework of risks in the context of Logistics 4.0. They are here economic risks, that are associated e.g. with high or false investments. From a social perspective, risks the job losses, are considered too. Additionally, risks can be associated with technical risks, e.g. technical integration, information technology (IT)-related risks such as data security, and legal and political risks, such as for instance unsolved legal clarity in terms of data possession. It is therefore necessary to know the potential risks in the implementation process.
