Building Cyber‐Physical Systems – A Smart Building Use Case

This chapter explores the concept of smart home and smart building based on internet‐of‐things (IoT) and cyber‐physical system (CPS) technologies. By reviewing the challenges of the smart home vision, it highlights that CPS‐based smart environments are best suited to support the integration of heterogeneous devices with different application domains and architectures. To illustrate the concept of a CPS‐based smart building installation with self‐configuration and self‐organization abilities, the chapter presents implementation of smart home use cases based on the paradigms of “Industry 4.0”. In addition, it also analyzes and discusses the performance of the implemented prototype. The concept of “Industry 4.0” provides a vision for the application of CPS in industrial automation. The chapter then proposes an approach based on OPC unified architecture (OPC UA) that supports self‐description by using a common ontology and self‐organization through the use of multi‐agent systems (MAS) theory.
