A Dynamic Resource Supply Model towards Cyber Physical System (CPS)

A Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is a complex research field with a plenty of challenges. The purpose of this paper is to handle all dynamic resource supply independent of the whole Cyber-Physical System using a new resource model proposed. In this resource model, two concepts will be introduced to describe the resources with both static and dynamic changing attributes. A special machine will act as the middleware to manage all resources and provide an interface between the resource supply modules to the CPS. This resource model will be integrated into a classical three-layer CPS with Service Oriented Architecture to illustrate the design and some related mechanisms.
