ABSTRACT

Models also show how the design process has evolved, and models help to form the specifications that govern a system. In addition, models allow a design to be tested in a safe environment, which will allow engineers to determine if any design defects exist. This is a great benefit before a prototype of the actual system is developed. To model a CPS, engineers will have to include the models of the physical processes as well as models of the software, computation platforms, and networks.
