Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are getting increasingly complex and interconnected. Consequently, their inherent safety risks and security risks are so intertwined that the conventional analysis approaches which address them separately may be rendered inadequate. STPA (Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis) is a top-down hazard analysis technique that has been incorporated into several recently proposed integrated Safety and Security (S&S) analysis methods. This paper presents a novel methodology that leverages not only STPA, but also custom matrices to ensure a more comprehensive S&S analysis. The proposed methodology is demonstrated using a case study of particular commercial cloud-based monitoring and control system for residential energy storage systems.

In the context of latest technological revolution, Industry 4.0, connectivity and therefore access and control of cyber-physical systems and resources from any place, at any time by any means represent a technological enabler of crucial importance. The first part of this paperwork contains a brief introduction of cyber-physical systems and IoT concepts, together with a review of major IoT providers. The second part introduces an approach towards achieving connectivity and remote control of task selection for a dual-arm industrial robot using a commercially available IoT infrastructure and technology provided by ioBridge. Within the third part, details about experimental testing and evaluation of the selected solutions are presented. The last part is allocated for conclusions and further research directions.

Cyber-physical systems integrate computing and communication with monitoring and control of physical entities. The complex interaction with the physical world makes coordination models and languages very important for the analysis, design and development of cyber-physical systems. This paper discusses several new challenges on coordination models and languages in the context of the emerging phenomenon of cyber-physical systems.

Analysis and formalization of the monitoring and automatic control tasks of the MR for the movement and execution of various types of technological operations on inclined and vertical ferromagnetic surfaces are obtained. Generalized structure of mobile robotic complex is shown with main subsystems consideration. Critical analysis of the current state of the problem of development of universal structures of mobile robots (MRs) for the various types of technological operations execution and elaborations of computerized systems for monitoring and control of MR movement is done. In particular, wheeled, walked and crawler type MRs with pneumatic, vacuum-propeller, magnetic and magnetically operated clamping devices to grip with vertical and ceiling surfaces are reviewed. The constructive features of the crawler MR with magnetic clamping devices capable of moving along sloping ferromagnetic surfaces are considered. The basic technical parameters of the MR are shown for the further synthesis of computerized monitoring and automatic control systems. Formalization of the tasks of monitoring and control of the MR positioning at the processing of large area ferromagnetic surfaces is considered from the point of view of control theory.
