Event-Based Conceptual Architecture for the Management of Cyber-Physical Systems Tasks in Real Time

Abstract

Given the application domains and challenges presented to cyber-physical systems (CPSs), it is necessary to design a CPS system able to deal with temporal constrains. There are various software architecture models to meet this challenge. Models have been developed under three types of software structural units, such as: Component-based architecture, service-based architecture and agent-based architecture. These models are analyzed under the compliance of adaptability, autonomy and interoperability properties. Our proposal provides a conceptual architecture model driven by events for the real-time management of CPS, which is proposed under the rigor of software engineering based on a service-oriented architecture (SOA 2.0 - Service Oriented Architecture) and directed by EDA events (Event Driven Architecture), using event processing technology CEP (Complex Event Processing).
