Context-generation for workflows in IoT-enabled cyber-physical systems

Abstract

A Cyber-Physical System (CPS) for IoT-enabled manufacturing environment consists two parts, the Physical World and the Cyber World. Modeling and managing operations of CPS for manufacturing sector are challenging issues due to the complex interaction between entities in the system. Recent progress in artificial intelligence and context-aware computing technology provides a solid background to develop a framework to provide a context-aware guidance information system for guiding resources in IoT enabled CPS. To achieve the goal to design context-aware guidance information system, a method is proposed to combine a scheduler in multi-agent systems (MAS), an algorithm to construct execution model that can be applied to guide the operation of CPS. The proposed method is illustrated by an example.
