This study introduces determinism concepts for cyber-physical systems (CPS) using control interpreted Petri nets (CIPNs). It proposes a novel modeling methodology and demonstrates its effectiveness through a real-world case study.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Control Engineering
- Systems Theory
Background:
- Cyber-physical systems (CPS) require predictable control logic for reliable operation.
- Petri nets are a common modeling tool, but extensions are needed for CPS environmental interaction.
- Existing models may lack formal definitions for determinism crucial in CPS control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To formally define and analyze determinism in CPS control using Petri net models.
- To introduce a novel methodology for modeling deterministic CPS with control interpreted Petri nets (CIPNs).
- To validate the proposed concepts and methodology through a practical case study and experimental verification.
Main Methods:
- Application of control interpreted Petri nets (CIPNs), an extension of ordinary Petri nets.
- Formal definitions and theorems for weak and strong determinism in CIPN-specified systems.
- Development of a new modeling methodology for deterministic systems using CIPNs.
Main Results:
- Formalized notions of weak and strong determinism for CIPN-based CPS control.
- A novel, practical methodology for designing deterministic CPS.
- Experimental verification confirming the efficacy of the proposed determinism techniques.
Conclusions:
- The proposed formalisms and methodology enhance the predictability and reliability of CPS control.
- CIPNs provide a suitable framework for modeling and analyzing determinism in CPS.
- The study offers a foundation for developing more robust and verifiable cyber-physical systems.
