A Simulation-Based Architecture for Smart Cyber-Physical Systems
Abstract
In order to accurately predict future states of a smart cyber-physical system, which can change its behavior to a large degree in response to environmental influences, the existence of precise models of the system and its surroundings is demandable. In machine engineering, ultra-high fidelity simulations have been developed to better understand both constraints in system design and possible consequences of external influences during the system's operation. These digital twins enable further applications in software design for complex cyber-physical systems as online planning methods can utilize good simulations to continuously optimize the system behavior, yielding a software architecture framework based on the information flow between the cyber-physical system, its physical environment and the digital twin model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
