Abstract

The Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are complex, multi- disciplinary, physically-aware future’s paradigms which are integrating embedded computing technologies (cyber part) into the physical world (physical part). The interaction requirement with the physical world makes the CPS unpredictable because of the real-world’s dynamic behaviours. So a CPS needs to reason these changes and adapt its behaviour accordingly. Moreover, a CPS can cooperate with multiple CPSs to establish cyber-physical system-of-systems (CPSoS). This creates a distributed and heterogeneous environment where we are challenged by unpredictability. To address the challenges of the CPSoS, new methodologies and new approaches need to be developed. One way to tackle these challenges is by making them smart with intelligent agents and modelling them explicitly. To make intelligent decisions it is needed to do reasoning and to use decision-making mechanisms. In this way, they can handle the unpredictable changes encountered both internally and externally. Nevertheless, suitable reasoning, smartness, and awareness mechanisms must be studied, implemented, and applied to achieve smart CPSoS.
