The time-triggered communication paradigm is a cost-efficient way to meet the real-time requirements of cyber-physical systems. It is a non-deterministic polynomial NP-complete problem for multi-hop networks and non-strictly periodic traffic. A two-level scheduling approach is proposed to simplify the complexity during optimization. In the first level, a fuzzy-controlled quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (FQPSO) algorithm is proposed to optimize the scheduling performance by assigning time-triggered frame instances to the basic periods of each link. In order to prevent population from high aggregation, a random mutation mechanism is used to disturb particles at the aggregation point and enhance the diversity at later stages. Fuzzy logic is introduced and well designed to realize a dynamic adaptive adjustment of the contraction–expansion coefficient and mutation rate in FQPSO. In the second level, we use an improved Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) scheduling algorithm to solve the collision-free and temporal constraints. A schedulability ranking method is proposed to accelerate the computation of the SMT-based incremental scheduler. Our approach can co-optimize the jitter and load balance of communication for an off-line schedule. The experiments show that the proposed approach can improve the performance of the scheduling table, reduce the optimization time, and reserve space for incremental messages.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) will revolutionize how humans relate with the physical world around us. Many grand challenges await the economically vital domains of transportation, health-care, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, defence, aerospace and buildings. Exploration of these potentialities around space and time would create applications which would affect societal and economic benefit. This paper looks into the concept of emerging Cyber-Physical system, applications and security issues in sustaining development in various economic sectors; outlining a set of strategic Research and Development opportunities that should be accosted, so as to allow upgraded CPS to attain their potential and provide a wide range of societal advantages in the future.

The recent proliferation of embedded cyber components in modern physical systems [1] has generated a variety of new security risks which threaten not only cyberspace, but our physical environment as well. Whereas earlier security threats resided primarily in cyberspace, the increasing marriage of digital technology with mechanical systems in cyber-physical systems (CPS), suggests the need for more advanced generalized CPS security measures. To address this problem, in this paper we consider the first step toward an improved security model: detecting the security attack. Using logical truth tables, we have developed a generalized algorithm for intrusion detection in CPS for systems which can be defined over discrete set of valued states. Additionally, a robustness algorithm is given which determines the level of security of a discrete-valued CPS against varying combinations of multiple signal alterations. These algorithms, when coupled with encryption keys which disallow multiple signal alteration, provide for a generalized security methodology for both cyber-security and cyber-physical systems.
