Download or read book Design Applications and Maintenance of Cyber Physical Systems written by Rea, Pierluigi and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) can be defined as systems in which physical objects are represented in the digital world and integrated with computation, storage, and communication capabilities and are connected to each other in a network. The goal in the use of the CPS is integrating the dynamics of the physical processes with those of the software and networking, providing abstractions and modelling, design, and analysis techniques for the integrated whole. The notion of CPS is linked to concepts of robotics and sensor networks with intelligent systems proper of computational intelligence leading the pathway. Recent advances in science and engineering improve the link between computational and physical elements by means of intelligent systems, increasing the adaptability, autonomy, efficiency, functionality, reliability, safety, and usability of cyber-physical systems. The potential of cyber-physical systems will spread to several directions, including but not limited to intervention, precision manufacturing, operations in dangerous or inaccessible environments, coordination, efficiency, Maintenance 4.0, and augmentation of human capabilities. Design, Applications, and Maintenance of Cyber-Physical Systems gives insights about CPS as tools for integrating the dynamics of the physical processes with those of software and networking, providing abstractions and modelling, design, and analysis techniques for their smart manufacturing interoperation. The book will have an impact upon the research on robotics, mechatronics, integrated intelligent multibody systems, Industry 4.0, production systems management and maintenance, decision support systems, and Maintenance 4.0. The chapters discuss not only the technologies involved in CPS but also insights into how they are used in various industries. This book is ideal for engineers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in a deeper understanding of cyber-physical systems (CPS), their design, application, and maintenance, with a special focus on modern technologies in Industry 4.0 and Maintenance 4.0.

Book Foundations of Multi Paradigm Modelling for Cyber Physical Systems

Download or read book Foundations of Multi Paradigm Modelling for Cyber Physical Systems written by Paulo Carreira and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book coherently gathers well-founded information on the fundamentals of and formalisms for modelling cyber-physical systems (CPS). Highlighting the cross-disciplinary nature of CPS modelling, it also serves as a bridge for anyone entering CPS from related areas of computer science or engineering. Truly complex, engineered systems-known as cyber-physical systems-that integrate physical, software, and network aspects are now on the rise. However, there is no unifying theory nor systematic design methods, techniques or tools for these systems. Individual (mechanical, electrical, network or software) engineering disciplines only offer partial solutions. A technique known as Multi-Paradigm Modelling has recently emerged suggesting to model every part and aspect of a system explicitly, at the most appropriate level(s) of abstraction, using the most appropriate modelling formalism(s), and then weaving the results together to form a representation of the system. If properly applied, it enables, among other global aspects, performance analysis, exhaustive simulation, and verification. This book is the first systematic attempt to bring together these formalisms for anyone starting in the field of CPS who seeks solid modelling foundations and a comprehensive introduction to the distinct existing techniques that are multi-paradigmatic. Though chiefly intended for master and post-graduate level students in computer science and engineering, it can also be used as a reference text for practitioners.

Book Modeling of Physical Systems

Download or read book Modeling of Physical Systems written by Joseph J. Beaman, Jr. and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to nonlinear and continuous systems using bond graph methodology, this textbook gives readers the foundations they need to apply physical system models in practice Giving an integrated and uniform approach to system modeling, analysis and control, this book uses realistic examples to link empirical, analytical and numerical approaches. This introduction gives readers the essential foundations towards more advanced and practical topics in systems engineering. Rather than using only a linear modeling methodology, this book also uses nonlinear modeling approaches. This is a very useful aspect of the book, since engineers are often faced with modeling nonlinear physical systems. The authors approach the topic using bond graph methodology, a well known and powerful approach for the modeling and analysis of multi-energy domain systems at the physical level. With a strong focus on the fundamentals, the authors ensure that the various modeling approaches available are outlined, always with implementation in mind. Beginning by covering core topics which engineering students will have been exposed to in their first two years of study, the next sections introduce systematic modeling development using a bond graph approach followed by analysis. The later chapters expand on the reader’s foundational understanding of systems, helping to begin dealing with more complex phenomena. This includes making decisions about what to model and how much complexity is needed for a particular problem. Includes tables summarizing fundamental modeling elements and principles, sets of problems and case studies of real-world applications Emphasizes simulation throughout the book as a means to enable reader understanding Topics introduced include: mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluid, magnetic and chemical systems Gives insight into controls problems by building a better understanding of the physical system and developing tools and methods that enable users to modify models

Book Managerial Applications of System Dynamics

Download or read book Managerial Applications of System Dynamics written by Edward Baer Roberts and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1978 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Now available from Productivity Press, Cambridge, Mass.) Useful as both a text and a working resource, this volume contains 36 chapters (and 4 appendixes) illustrating the application of system dynamics to overall strategic planning and managerial problem-solving in the corporate functional areas of manufacturing, marketing and distribution, research and development, and finance and control. In addition, a final section treats the systems analysis of societal problems that impinge on a manager's social responsibilities. Many of the chapters provide full descriptions of the modeling processes and implemented results, and in nine cases the computer models are completely documented with listings of the model equations. This book is the first attempt to compile real managerial uses of the system dynamics approach, and the first volume since Forrester's Industrial Dynamics(MIT Press, 1961) to focus upon corporate system dynamics models. In draft form the book has been used as the basis for teaching system dynamics in the Sloan School's regular graduate programs and its middle-management executive development programs. In his introductory chapter on the concepts, philosophy, and methodology of system dynamics, the editor clearly identifies the underlying premises: "The system dynamics philosophy rests on a belief that the behavior (or time history) of an organization is principally caused by the organization's structure. The structure includes not only the physical aspects of plant and production process but, more importantly, the policies and traditions, both tangible and intangible, that dominate decision-making in the organization. Such a structural framework contains sources of amplification, time lags, and information feedback similar to those found in complex engineering systems. Engineering and management systems containing these characteristics display complicated response patterns to relatively simple system or input changes.... The subtleties and complexities in the management area make these problems even more severe. Here the structural orientation of system dynamics provides a beginning for replacing confusion with order. A second aspect of the system dynamics philosophy is the concept that organizations are viewed most effectively in terms of their common underlying flows instead of in terms of separate functions.... A meaningful system framework results from tracing cause-and-effect chains through the relevant flow paths." The book is included in the MIT Press/Wright-Allen Series in System Dynamics, of which Jay W. Forrester is general editor. System dynamics as a methodology was largely devised by Forrester, Roberts, and other MIT faculty and staff. It employs computers to predict short- and long-term consequences of social, economic, and corporate policies, and has been used variously to chart the growth of new products in business, to study environmental change, and to examine the impact of public policies at scales ranging from the urban to the global. Professor Roberts' four prior books on system dynamics cover a similar range of theory and application of systems and computer modeling concepts.

Book Cyber Physical Systems

Download or read book Cyber Physical Systems written by Fei Hu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have quickly become one of the hottest computer applications today. With their tight integration of cyber and physical objects, it is believed CPSs will transform how we interact with the physical world, just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. A CPS could be a system at multiple scales, from large smart bridges with fluctuation detection and responding functions, to autonomous cars and tiny implanted medical devices. Cyber-Physical Systems: Integrated Computing and Engineering Design supplies comprehensive coverage of the principles and design of CPSs. It addresses the many challenges that must be overcome and outlines a roadmap of how to get there. Emphasizes the integration of cyber computing and physical objects control Covers important CPS theory foundations and models Includes interesting case studies of several important civilian and health care applications that illustrate the CPS design process Addresses the collaboration of the sensing and controlling of a physical system with robust software architecture Explains how to account for random failure events that can occur in a real CPS environment Presented in a systematic manner, the book begins by discussing the basic concept underlying CPSs and examining some challenging design issues. It then covers the most important design theories and modeling methods for a practical CPS. Next, it moves on to sensor-based CPSs, which use embedded sensors and actuators to interact with the physical world. The text presents concrete CPS designs for popular civilian applications, including building and energy management. Reflecting the importance of human health care in society, it includes CPS examples of rehabilitation applications such as virtual reality-based disability recovery platforms.

Book Managed Software Evolution

Download or read book Managed Software Evolution written by Ralf Reussner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents the outcomes of the “Design for Future – Managed Software Evolution” priority program 1593, which was launched by the German Research Foundation (“Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)”) to develop new approaches to software engineering with a specific focus on long-lived software systems. The different lifecycles of software and hardware platforms lead to interoperability problems in such systems. Instead of separating the development, adaptation and evolution of software and its platforms, as well as aspects like operation, monitoring and maintenance, they should all be integrated into one overarching process. Accordingly, the book is split into three major parts, the first of which includes an introduction to the nature of software evolution, followed by an overview of the specific challenges and a general introduction to the case studies used in the project. The second part of the book consists of the main chapters on knowledge carrying software, and cover tacit knowledge in software evolution, continuous design decision support, model-based round-trip engineering for software product lines, performance analysis strategies, maintaining security in software evolution, learning from evolution for evolution, and formal verification of evolutionary changes. In turn, the last part of the book presents key findings and spin-offs. The individual chapters there describe various case studies, along with their benefits, deliverables and the respective lessons learned. An overview of future research topics rounds out the coverage. The book was mainly written for scientific researchers and advanced professionals with an academic background. They will benefit from its comprehensive treatment of various topics related to problems that are now gaining in importance, given the higher costs for maintenance and evolution in comparison to the initial development, and the fact that today, most software is not developed from scratch, but as part of a continuum of former and future releases.
