Abstract

Service-oriented architectures are widely used in information processing and Web technologies to provide scalable access to resources in distributed systems and extensible applications. However, many traditional service-oriented architectures are designed for transaction processing. In contrast, cyber-physical systems used for real-time control require quality-of-service constraints and graceful handling of failures to provide requested services. Our group is developing extended service-oriented models for use in smart energy grids and other applications. We will describe our work in service-oriented architectures, including model-based design and simulation. We will motivate discuss safety and security in cyber-physical systems and discuss how service-oriented architectures fit into the methodologies required to deliver safe and secure cyber-physical and IoT systems.
