Error handling using linear programming in CPS applications: Aircraft fuel management system case study

Cyber-Physical System (CPS) networks represent distributed systems characterized by command, communication, and control elements, acting over the environment in order to fulfill complex interactions with it. The CPS applications need to be robust, error prone and to own dynamically self-reconfigurable and self-maintainable capabilities. In this paper we propose a Linear Programming based approach for solving the computational, error prone detection and dynamical reconfigurable aspects which CPS applications needs to achieve. To illustrate the usage and benefits of this approach, we discuss the design of an aircraft fuel management system implemented using a CPS solution.
