Abstract

Nowadays, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) represent one of the main core elements of the Industry 4.0. It is common practice to run simulations on a model of the CPS, by adopting specific tools and approaches. Since the purpose of such models is to represent real systems, it is appropriate to assume that several components may be affected by noises and disturbances (N&D), and that these latter may have a different impact on the system depending on the considered configuration and the simulation scenarios. The analysis of signals belonging to a CPS system permits the understanding of the relationships that discipline the behavior of the whole system in presence of N&D. Depending on the context and the considered scenarios, the simulations in presence of N&D might generate very different numerical results compared to the simulations that do not include them. However, the simulations with additional N&D are non-trivial to be computed and analyzed, especially when the considered CPS have also high variability and configurability. The adopted approach investigates the validation of possible cross-configurations, in order that the solution includes sets of suitable configurations for both the CPS parameters and N&D wrt scenarios.
