This evolution, supported by advances in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, has opened the way to a new era in which systems are able to adapt and evolve autonomously, while offering more intuitive interaction with human users. This article proposes a systematic literature review to gather and analyse current research on Cognitive Cyber–Physical Systems (CCPS), Cognitive Digital Twins (CDT), and cognitive interoperability, which are pivotal in a contemporary Cyber–Physical Enterprise (CPE). From this review, we first seek to understand how cognitive capabilities that are traditionally considered as human traits have been defined and modelled in cyber–physical systems and digital twins in the context of Industry 4.0/5.0, and what cognitive functions they implement. We explore their theoretical foundations, in particular in relation to cognitive psychology and humanities definitions and theories. Then we analyse how interoperability between cognitive systems has been considered, leading to cognitive interoperability, and we highlight the role of knowledge representation and reasoning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50750,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reviews in Control","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100954"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367578824000233/pdfft?md5=3917edec97a49bf2483d54fdbcb38abd&pid=1-s2.0-S1367578824000233-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140180646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider the constraints arising from the following sets of static state feedback: (i) The set of all disturbance decoupling controllers; (ii) The set of all disturbance decoupling and stabilizing controllers. To inner approximate these sets by means of matrix equations or inequalities, we provide a unifying review of the relevant results of the geometric control theory. The approximations build on the characterization of controlled </span>invariant subspaces<span><span> in terms of the solvability of a linear matrix equation (LME) involving the state feedback. The set (i) is inner approximated through the LME associated with any element of an upper semilattice generated by controlled invariant subspaces.

However, the resulting inner approximations depend on the subspaces chosen from the semilattices. It is shown that a specific (internally stabilizable) self-bounded controlled invariant subspace, which is the best choice regarding eigenvalue assignment, yields the largest inner approximation for both of the sets among (internally stabilizable) self-bounded controlled invariant subspaces. The inner approximations exactly characterize the controller sets under particular structural conditions. We have been driven by two primary motivations in investigating inner approximations for the sets above: (i) Enable the formulation of a variety of equality (and inequality) </span>constrained optimization problems, where cost functions, such as a norm of the state feedback, can be minimized over a large subset of the set of all disturbance decoupling (and stabilizing) controllers; (ii) Introduce the disturbance decoupling constraints to members of the control systems community who might not be quite familiar with the elegant geometric state-space theory, similar to the authors themselves.

This paper will discuss aspects of wireless communication in industrial control systems, i.e. termed wireless control systems, of the civil nuclear industry. In this respect, we will review previous use of wireless communication in the nuclear industry, and provide the results of a recent feasibility study of wireless communication for an industrial, civil nuclear control system. The studied use case was of an advanced nuclear modular reactor, the Stable Salt Reactor (SSR), and the augmentation of one of its control systems, the refuelling control system, with wireless communication. Hence, in contrast to previous work on wireless control systems, this paper here will focus on the complex and rigorous processes required for regulated safety which have to be followed to allow for wireless control to be implemented in the nuclear civil sector. The following analysis and design procedure was followed: (a) the decision process for choosing the refuelling control system, (b) the review for a suitable communication protocol and technology, the analysis for placement of wireless transceivers for sensors and actuators, (c) the analysis for wireless communication integrity, (d) the basic analysis and guidelines for control system robustness under packet loss, (e) the discussion of possible self-powering options and (f) the safety analysis of the control system under communication failure. Our initial hypothesis is that wireless control systems in Nuclear Applications can improve asset integrity. Control systems can be made more robust and secure to external influences by securely communicating control responses and asset information within a Nuclear Plant. Safety is also improved by reducing the number of operator interactions required for servicing connections, as failures are reduced overall. The removal of power/data harnesses from in-reactor applications can enable faster deployment and replacement of instrumentation for new builds, existing plants and decommissioning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50750,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reviews in Control","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100936"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367578824000051/pdfft?md5=00869d41967d76357ad3d54fe8f4f02c&pid=1-s2.0-S1367578824000051-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139693971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
