A Conceptual Modeling Framework for Evaluation of Cyber-Physical Systems based on Applied Category Theory and Metamodeling

Vimal Kunnummel

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are interconnected, computational control systems which directly interact with the non-deterministic physical world. To manage the confronted uncertainty when dealing with nondeterministic environments, a constant feedback loop of monitoring the environment and consequent adjustment of the system is obligatory. Components of a CPS as well as the communication between its components are prone to malfunctioning leading to system failures. Therefore, to enable an effective integration of CPSs into arbitrary business processes, a conceptual modeling framework which enables the evaluation of the capabilities and functionalities of CPSs is needed. In this paper, such a conceptual modeling framework based on applied category theory is proposed to model CPSs in a given environment.
