System Modeling and Co-Emulation for Distributed Cyber-Physical System Environments

Abstract

This paper presents work in progress towards a system modeling and co-emulation framework for distributed cyber-physical system (CPS) environments. The proposed framework aims to support experiential learning and experiment orchestration in environments such as CPS testbeds and chemistry labs. It addresses challenges of interoperability, multi-tenancy, scalability and security by leveraging a novel "co-emulation" approach that combines different modeling, orchestration and runtime tools.
