Monitoring, Testing, and Evolution of Cyber-Physical Systems

CPS are a type of systems that deeply embed cyber capabilities in the physical world affecting humans, and their interactions. In the domain of industrial automation, CPS have emerged as Cyber-Physical Production Systems, applying trends and developments from the area of information systems, computer science, and robotics in the context of a manufacturing process -- often referred to as Industry 4.0, or Industry 5.0 with its newly emerging value-driven paradigm.

To provide support for monitoring large-scale systems, and systems with a System of System (SoS) architecture, we are developing different approaches, frameworks and architectures for diverse monitoring purposes in CPS.

Additionally, to support CPS testing and simulation, we have develop methods and processes for validating CPS, specifically focusing on sUAS and robotic applications.
