Organic Communication Channels (OCCs) are any hydrocarbon-based media which can be used to communicate data. This has great potential when applied to cyber-physical systems such as with smart farming. This paper establishes the relevance (though a literature survey and consideration of possible use cases for this technology), feasibility (through channel characterisation experiments) and proposes the infrastructure for OCC systems. The results show feasible communication of voice, video and text is possible with the proposed infrastructure for OCC communication. Finally, the approach of the proposal is evaluated through considerations for future work.

Cooperative Cyber-Physical Systems (Co-CPSs) can be enabled using wireless communication technologies, which in principle should address reliability and safety challenges. Safety for Co-CPS enabled by wireless communication technologies is a crucial aspect and requires new dedicated design approaches. In this paper, we provide an overview of five Co-CPS use cases, as introduced in our SafeCOP EU project, and analyze their safety design requirements. Next, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the main existing wireless communication technologies giving details about the protocols developed within particular standardization bodies. We also investigate to what extent they address the non-functional requirements in terms of safety, security and real time, in the different application domains of each use case. Finally, we discuss general recommendations about the use of different wireless communication technologies showing their potentials in the selected real-world use cases. The discussion is provided under consideration in the 5G standardization process within 3GPP, whose current efforts are inline to current gaps in wireless communications protocols for Co-CPSs including many future use cases.

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) is a new science to joint physical and computation together and it can be used in information technology, industry process control and other fields. But its model remains a new research field that needs to be explored. In this paper, we put forward a novel CPS model based on Cognitive Network (CN) and accomplished the combination of CPS and CN. The model was composed of four layers included physical layer, network layer, user layer and cross layer. We discussed every layer in our model in which the functions such as control, communication and so on were described. We also presented the feedback circle in cross layer detailedly. Finally, we explained the suggestion and future work briefly.

AbstractIndustrie 4.0 aims at improving value chains and value-added networks in industry. Technologically the approach is based on the introduction of cyber-physical systems. Their capabilities form the basis for smart systems. This paper presents technological approaches for Industrie 4.0 and introduces use cases as a specification technique for application scenarios. A demonstrator for additive manufacturing is presented. Lessons learnd from this demonstrator have led to the definition of capabilities for vertical and horizontal integration within Industrie 4.0.

Abstract. Distributed integrated sensory systems enjoy increasing impact leveraged by the surging advance of sensor, communication, and integration technology in, e.g., the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, Industry 4.0, and ambient intelligence/assisted-living applications. Smart kitchens and "white goods" in general have become an active field of R&D. The goal of our research is to provide assistance for unskilled or challenged consumers by efficient sensory feedback or context on ingredient quality and cooking step results, which explicitly includes decay and contamination detection. As one front end of such a culinary-assistance system, an integrated, multi-sensor, low-cost, autonomous, smart spoon device, denoted as Lab-on-Spoon (LoS), has been conceived. The first realized instance presented here features temperature, color, and impedance spectroscopy sensing in a 3-D-printed spoon package. Acquired LoS data are subject to sensor fusion and decision making on the host system. LoS was successfully applied to liquid ingredient recognition and quality assessment, including contamination detection, in several applications, e.g., for glycerol detection in wine. In future work, improvement to sensors, electronics, and algorithms will be pursued to achieve an even more robust, dependable and self-sufficient LoS system.

The World

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

The software is often responsible for controlling the behavior of mechanical and electrical components, as well as interactions among these components in cyber-physical systems (CPS). The risks in CPS systems could result in losing tools, features, performance and even life. Therefore, safety analysis for software in these systems is a highly critical and serious issue. In general, safety and reliability approaches play a major role in a risk management process in CPS. In this paper, after reviewing the major techniques of software reliability and safety in CPS, an software fault tree analysis (SFTA)-based approach is presented for analysis of operational use-cases (UC) in a CPS system. In our approach, the events related to use-cases are extracted, and the related SFTA is then obtained using the proposed algorithm. Moreover, a semi-automatic method is presented in this paper to produce software failure mode and effects analysis (SFMEA) from SFTA. The results of our approach are applicable for software safety analysis in a real CPS system, including the control system of Iranian National Observatory telescope. Assessment of the suggested method is performed through numerous safety/reliability criteria and the qualitative/quantitative analysis based on these criteria.

Extensive digitization and interconnection through networks have ushered in a number of new paradigms over the last years: Internet of Things, cyber–physical systems, Industry 4.0, etc. These challenging systems rely on an effective information communication between distributed components. Therefore, the heterogeneity of entities, both hardware and software, must be handled to achieve an operative interoperability and a proper behavior. However, there is also a heterogeneous availability of solutions; different technologies, protocols, and architectures aim to achieve a seamless interconnection. Henceforth, the standardization still requires great efforts from industrial and scientific environments. In this sense, the interface of the open platform communications (OPC) has supported connectivity for automation and supervision infrastructures for more than two decades. The OPC comprises the so-called classic OPC, the original protocol, as well as the last specification, unified architecture (UA). The widespread utilization of the classic OPC together with the powerful functionalities of OPC UA, make the latter one of the main candidates to lead the standardization and systems integration. This paper presents a survey of recent OPC-based systems reported in scientific literature for different domains as well as research projects. The goal of this paper is to provide a broad perspective about the OPC’ applicability and capabilities in order to support the decision about communication interfaces. The results are analyzed and discussed putting special attention on the aforementioned new paradigms. Finally, the main conclusions and open research directions are highlighted.
