Taming Cyber-Physical Systems With a Software-Defined Approach [Slides]
Connecting physical systems is a key component of IIoT and Industry 4.0. But doing so comes with middleware challenges. This solution is inspired by SDN.

Join For FreeCyber-physical systems (CPS) revolutionize various application domains with integration and interoperability of networking, computing systems, and mechanical devices. Due to its scale and variety, CPS faces a number of challenges and opens up a few research questions in terms of management, fault-tolerance, and scalability.
We've proposed a software-defined approach, inspired by Software-Defined Networking (SDN), to address the challenges for a wider CPS adoption. We thus designed a middleware architecture for the correct and resilient operation of CPS, to manage and coordinate the interacting devices centrally in the cyberspace whilst not sacrificing the functionality and performance benefits inherent to a distributed execution.
