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 manufacturing technologies (IoT and
Industrial IoT, Robotics and Cobotics, Augmented/Virtual Reality, Additive Manufacturing,
Cloud Manufacturing …), data collection, storage and analysis, and digital twin
(Digital Factory, Simulation and Decision Tools …). 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, sometimes, manually.
Examples of such systems can be found in manufactories, avionics, automotive
systems, nuclear power plants, etc.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;background:white;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(17,17,17)">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.
CPPS-2018 event provides a platform for professionals from academia,
government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing the issues
challenges facing CPPS.<span></span></span></p>
