A DDS-Based Scalable and Reconfigurable Framework for Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) involve the interconnection of heterogeneous computing devices which areclosely integrated with the physical processes under control. Often, these systems are resource-constrainedand require specific features such as the ability to adapt in a timeliness and efficient fashion to dynamicenvironments. Also, they must support fault tolerance and avoid single points of failure. This paperdescribes a scalable framework for CPSs based on the OMG DDS standard. The proposed solution allowsreconfiguring this kind of systems at run-time and managing efficiently their resources.
