Components and Tools for Large Scale, Complex Cyber-Physical Systems Based on Industrial Internet of Things Technologies.

The application of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies in large scale and complex cyberphysical systems of systems (CPSoS), such as those on large, tertiary sector buildings, energy grid and industrial production lines, still presents great challenges in the standardisation of the necessary mechanisms, procedures, components and tools for the deployment, configuration, commissioning and maintenance of their associated highly heterogeneous distributed subsystems. The problem is magnified if one also considers the typical, resource constrained nature of most of the networked embedded devices in a CPSoS, as well as the usually strict requirements in properties related to correct and safe operations, such as real-time, reliable and secure processing and net working [2].
