Breeding Application

Plant scientists around the world have expert-specified systems for dealing with sample breeding. The ability to track parents and their future progeny should be an intuitive and easy task for these systems. Surprisingly, breeders have a handful of various techniques that have little to no centralized protocol. This paper focuses on a novel implementation by Kansas State University’s Cyber Physical Systems lab, the Android application, Intercross. Intercross is the newest addition to the PhenoApps organization’s set of open source applications. This new application is a generic cross tracking system; however, because there are various methodologies for breeding this task is not trivial. This paper will expand on the non-trivial nature of crossing samples and why this system is needed. Previous systems that were used to track crosses are either outdated, do not exist, or are inefficient.

Motivated by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is an ever-increasing need to integrated Cyber-Physical Systems in industrial production environments. To address the demand for flexible robotics in contemporary industrial environments and the necessity to integrate robots and automation equipment in an efficient manner, an effective, bidirectional, reliable and structured data interchange mechanism is required. As an answer to these requirements, this article presents ROBIN, an open-source middleware for achieving interoperability between the Robot Operating System and CODESYS, a softPLC that can run on embedded devices and that supports a variety of fieldbuses and industrial network protocols. The referred middleware was successfully applied and tested in various industrial applications such as battery management systems, motion, robotic manipulator and safety hardware control, and horizontal integration between a mobile manipulator and a conveyor system.

Risk Rate

The aim of risk management of socio-cyber-physical systems at operation is the integral safety which ensures their co-existence with their vicinity throughout their life cycles. On the basis of present knowledge and experience, part of risks that threaten socio-cyber-physical systems is coped by preven-tive measures during their designing and manufacturing. Due to dynamic changes of the world, the con-ditions of socio-cyber-physical systems at operations change. If changes exceed the socio-cyber-physical systems´ safety limits which were inserted into their designs, the accidents or socio-cyber-physical systems´ failures occur. The paper contains the Decision Support System for determination of risk rate of socio-cyber-physical systems. Its regular application shows present-day risk rate and allows to reveal danger situations and in time to apply mitigation measures. The methodology can find several applications in Education, especially in Engineering Education.

Memory Utilization

Most of the decisions taken in and around the world are based on data and information. Therefore, the chapter aims to develop a method of data transmission based on discrete event concepts, being such methodology named CBEDE, and using the MATLAB software, where the memory consumption of the proposal was evaluated, presenting great potential to intermediate users and computer systems, within an environment and scenario with cyber-physical systems ensuring more speed, transmission fluency, in the same way as low memory consumption, resulting in reliability. With the differential of this research, the results show better computational performance related to memory utilization with respect to the compression of the information, showing an improvement reaching 95.86%.

This chapter will provide a survey on cyber-physical systems security related to automobiles. In modern vehicles, there has been discussion on how automobiles fit into the world of cyber-physical systems, considering their interaction with both the cyber and physical worlds and interconnected systems. With many modern vehicles being connected to the outside world, there are many vulnerabilities introduced. Modern cars contain many electronic control units and millions of lines of code, which, if compromised, could have fatal consequences. Interfaces to the outside world (e.g., in-vehicle infotainment) may be used as a vector to attack these critical components.

This paper presents a generic architecture for the design of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) based on inexpensive and easily available hardware and open source software components. . This architecture provides a framework aimed at building CPS in a robust, flexible and modular way. The presented architecture intends to ease the construction of this kind of systems together with its evolution and management. The potential of the proposed architecture is illustrated by means of a case study consisting of a mobile robotics application built with low cost hardware modules modules. There is a large community of users for these components and plenty of related technical information is available. As a consequence, these inexpensive components were found suitable for being used at different application domains, including research and education.

Industry 4.0 has already arrived in the world and is leaving no stone unturned. It can be quickly summarized into just 4 components being, Cyber- physical systems, IOT, Cloud Computing and Cognitive computing. Current technologies, which uses soil moisture sensor require hard wiring and manual interventions. Other timer technologies irrigate the plants at certain interval without checking the need. In the proposed system, robotics with Artificial Intelligence are integrated with IoT systems to allow the farmer who is available at a different location than the farm to get the necessary updates involving the irrigation process taking place in the field. The system will also drain the excess water. The proposed system would allow better water management, higher yield and reduce the required manpower
