Multi-paradigm modelling of Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) lead to the 4-th Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) that will have benefits from high flexibility of production, easy and so more accessible participation of all involved parties of business processes. The Industry 4.0 production paradigm is characterized by autonomous behaviour and intercommunicating properties of its production elements across all levels of manufacturing processes so one of the key concept in this domain will be the semantic interoperability of systems. This goal can benefit from formal methods well known in various scientific domains such as artificial intelligence, and machine learning. So, the current research concerns the adaptation of the approach named Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) for structuring knowledge and for optimizing CPS interoperability.
