IET Cyber-Physical Systems: Theory & Applications

Special Issue on Verification and Validation of Cyber-Physical Systems

 

 

SCOPE

Applications of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are rising in our day-to-day
lives, as well as in both critical and non-critical industries. Irrespective
of their application domains and associated criticality levels, it is
crucial to make sure that CPS are behaving safely and reliably in every
conceivable situation. Verification and Validation (V&V) activities offer
the necessary means to establish the confidence that CPS will operate in a
predictable, safe and reliable manner. Special characteristics of CPS such
as complexity, heterogeneity, close interaction with their physical
environment, use of information networks for communication, and high demands
on extra-functional properties present new challenges for V&V of CPS. This
special issue solicits latest research results on the V&V of Cyber-Physical
Systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- V&V of requirements, architectures, and designs

- Model checking of CPS

- Formal verification of CPS

- Semi-automated testing of CPS

- Testing under Uncertainty

- Extra-Functional Testing including, but not limited to Performance,
Security or Safety Testing

- Model-Based Testing

- Search-Based Testing

- Test Optimization including single and multi-objective test optimization

- Assurance and Certification of CPS

- Empirical Evaluations

- Industrial Applications

- V&V of CPS in diverse domains including, but not limited to automotive,
smart grids, smart factories, healthcare, oil & gas, robotics, and maritime

 

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
