Simulation of Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems:Some Research Areas -Computational Understanding, Awareness, and Wisdom

doi:10.16182/j.issn1004731x.joss.201802002

Abstract

Abstract: After a brief emphasis about the interconnected world, including Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems, the increasing importance of the decision-making by autonomous, quasi-autonomous, and autonomic systems is emphasised. Promising roles of computational understanding, computational awareness, and computational wisdom for better autonomous decision-making are outlined. The contributions of simulation-based approaches are listed.

Key words: Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems, decision-making by autonomous and autonomic systems, computational understanding, computational awareness, computational wisdom, simulation-based knowledge processing
