Empowering cyberphysical systems of systems with intelligence

Cyber Physical Systems have been going into a transition phase from individual systems to a collecttives of systems that collaborate in order to achieve a highly complex cause, realizing a system of systems approach. The automotive domain has been making a transition to the system of system approach aiming to provide a series of emergent functionality like traffic management, collaborative car fleet management or large-scale automotive adaptation to physical environment thus providing significant environmental benefits (e.g air pollution reduction) and achieving significant societal impact. Similarly, large infrastructure domains, are evolving into global, highly integrated cyber-physical systems of systems covering all parts of the value chain. In practice, there are significant challenges in CPSoS applicability and usability to be addressed, i.e. even a small CPSoS such as a car consists several subsystems Decentralization of CPSoS appoints tasks to individual CPSs within the System of Systems. CPSoSs are heterogenous systems. They comprise of various, autonomous, CPSs, each one of them having unique performance capabilities, criticality level, priorities and pursued goals. all CPSs must also harmonically pursue system-based achievements and collaborate in order to make system-of-system based decisions and implement the CPSoS functionality. This survey will provide a comprehensive review on current best practices in connected cyberphysical systems. The basis of our investigation is a dual layer architecture encompassing a perception layer and a behavioral layer. Perception algorithms with respect to scene understanding (object detection and tracking, pose estimation), localization mapping and path planning are thoroughly investigated. Behavioural part focuses on decision making and human in the loop control.
