Engineering Events in CPS - Experiences and Lessons Learned

Event-based control paradigms are vital enablers for adaptive analytical control mechanisms needed in smart CPS. We describe the challenges of engineering events in CPS grounded in experience gathered by designing and implementing a prototype of an indoor location-aware public library system. Furthermore, we review existing event modeling and specification methodologies and infer shortcomings with regard to the lessons learned. We address those by enhancing an existing best-practice methodology on how to engineer event-based software for smart CPS.
