the Automation pyramid concept, traditionally used todescribe the different system levels of an overall automationsolution, needs to evolve

FIELD
CPS intrinsic existence defies the concept of rigid hierarchical levels, being each CPS capable of complexfunctions across all layers and thus we adopt an updated version of the pyramid representation, wherethe field level features CPS capable of articulated functions (thus in contact with all the pyramid layers),while still a hierarchical structure is preserved.

A Cyber Physical System can be defined as the convergence of the physical world and the virtual world, fostered by the diffusion of powerful and autonomousmicrocomputers that are increasingly networked. CPS are ICT systems (sensing, computing, actuating, and communicating) embedded in interconnected physicalobjects providing applications and services. In the realm of manufacturing (where CPS comprise machines, storage systems and, at large, production facilitiescapable of autonomously exchanging information, triggering actions and controlling each other independently), this technological evolution is described as thefourth industrial revolution (cf. “Industrie 4.0” roadmap).

CPS
CPSCPS
The CPS is a mechatronic system with a proposed standardfor “real-time” interaction (i.e. IEC61499) and a ServiceOriented Interface for “any-time” interaction. CPS can beaggregated to deliver more complex functions.

MechatronicSystem
The IEC-61499 extension of the FunctionBlock paves the way for object orientationand app development in the industrialautomation and simulation domains.
FIELD
Single CPS, natively compliant withIEC61499 or CPS-ized, are hierarchicallyarranged in groups of CPS, to deliverhigher and complex functions.
AProgrammingEnvironment
FIELD
In order to deploy both the real-time logics and the any-timeapplications, we need a IEC61499 Engineering ProgrammingEnvironment, capable to handle also the proprietary technologies,as long as they are compliant with the interaction standard(integration preserving confidentiality). The language mirrors the”CPS grouping” approach

AnAPPstore
FIELD
The programming environment offers low level functions, thatintrinsically encompasses complex implementation. We foresee thedevelopment of an “APP store”, based on the programmingenvironment, capable to provide pre-programmed functions, behavioursand SOA apps (e.g. CPS-based simulation tools). The APPs mask thedifficulty of the low level programming, thus empowering high level,multifaceted, behaviours and functions implementation.
