Cyber Physical Production Systems: Theory and Practices (CPPS2018)

Industry 4.0 is the new generation of manufacturing systems called Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) that are able to face the current economic and societal challenges. Its implementation is based on a set of new technologies of manufacturing (IoT and Industrial IoT, Robotics and In general, CPPS are complex due to the composition and the Combination of the system's components: digital, software, and physical elements. The physical parts are connected to a network, which is controlled by software components or, some times, manually. Examples of such systems can be found in manufactories, avionics, automotive systems , nuclear power plants, etc.

Interoperability, safety, reliability, maintenance and security aspects of CPPS is challenging due to the inherent complexity of CPPS. Moreover, it is not sufficient to ascertain one aspect of the individual components in isolation: faults and threats in CPPS systems could also be due to The interaction between the physical, digital and software parts of CPPS. Therefore, the system must be studied as a whole, which sets this emerging discipline apart from these individually established fields. This event provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry To discuss how to address the increasing the issues challenges facing CPPS.
