Cyber-physical Information Systems for Enterprise Engineering - Cyber-physical Applications Timing

Abstract

This paper discusses the role of time in industrial cyber-physical applications of information systems using SCADA as a representative example. It restates the basics of the notion of time, which is important not only in general but particularly in enterprise domain, and focuses on industrial applications. Also, the manuscript brings SCADA concepts and relates them to cyber-physical system architectures. The case study demonstrates some time-related techniques in frame of a simple but real-world application.
