Simulation-Based Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet-of-Things

Abstract

Based on related research of the authors' team, this chapter gives a full picture of simulation-based cyber-physical systems (SB-CPS) and simulation-based internet-of-things (SB-IoT). Definitions and explanations of the concepts of CPS/IoT and SB-CPS/SB-IoT are introduced. Technical challenge from CPS and IoT and challenge of M&S technology in SB-CPS/SB-IoT are analyzed. Body of knowledge/technology of the SB-CPS/SB-IoT is proposed. Key technologies enabling the SB-CPS/SB-IoT are described. These technologies include SB-CPS/SB-IoT modeling theory and method, SB-CPS/SB-IoT simulation system theory and technology, SB-CPS/SB-IoT simulation application engineering theory and technology. Furthermore, the impact of SB-CPS/SB-IoT on society and economy, people's livelihood and national security are discussed. Some application cases, e.g., smart cities, smart manufacturing, are illustrated. Finally, some suggestions for future works are given.
