Cyber Physical systems are computers that perform functions in real time as a result of stimuli in the physical world. Additionally, these communications are usually made in a dedicated infrastructure, that is, as a separate network from other processes that do not require real‐time capabilities, thus avoiding communication jamming and interference. Finally, Section 6 concludes and opens the field for future research in safety and security risk analysis of CPSs. Using the CPS master diagram defined in this paper as a framework for risk analysis, practitioners from multiple disciplines can apply existing or new risk identification techniques to analyze different CPS applications. Namely, as a lower bound or threshold, the computer “allows the human a restricted time to veto before automatic execution.”. Although several methods have attempted a safety and security analysis integration,15-18 researchers have paid little attention to providing a comprehensive systems representation of CPSs for designers and risk analysts to visualize the relevant features of the system. In the CPS master diagram, this case arises as an uncontrolled flow of energy going from the physical layer of the system toward the physical environment. Usually, these information flows are subject to supervision and monitoring in control centers through dedicated HW and SW. Finally, we introduce the promising method for comprehensive safety and security risk identification using the CPS master diagram. Finally, we integrated the previous discussions and applied systems thinking to introduce the CPS master diagram, a multi‐layered diagrammatic representation of CPSs useful to perform risk analysis to a wide range of system applications. • Cyber – computation, communication, and control that are discrete, logical, and switched • Physical – natural and human-made systems governed by the laws of physics and operating in continuous time • Cyber-Physical Systems – systems in which the cyber and physical systems are tightly integrated at all scales and levels The transition from the cyber‐physical to the cyber layer can materialize in two different ways. Moreover, a COLAV is able to detect other vessels in the vicinity, modify the route, and issue the corresponding control commands to avoid collision according to the international regulations for preventing collisions at sea (COLREGS).103. Traditionally in industrial applications and safety‐related systems, these cyber‐physical processes have been divided in basic process control system (BPCS) and safety instrumented system (SIS), with independent functions and isolated architectures.95 In contrast, the cyber‐physical layer in CPSs increasingly interconnect and integrate the SIS with the BPCS and higher‐level computer systems,96 exposing the system to new safety issues. Energy flows are transmissions of energy or matter required to achieve the functional goals of the system in the form of physical work. In this regard, we describe the roles of humans and their implications in CPSs in Section 3. In the cyber‐physical layer, sensors perceive the measurable quantities from the physical layer and the physical environment, transforming these quantities from analog form into digital form as information flows. The relevance of these processes in security were evident after the WannaCry ransomware attack in 2017, which exploited a vulnerability in Windows computers that Microsoft had patched 2 months before. In cyber-physical systems, physical and software components are deeply intertwined, able to operate on different spatial and temporal scales, exhibit multiple and distinct behavioral modalities, and interact with each other in ways that change with context. Please comment about any uses you have made with Cyber Physical Systems. For one year, he did his research study as a Fulbright Scholar in the State University of New York at Binghamton. Researchers have identified a wide range of cybersecurity vulnerabilities in cars and the potential manipulation of the engine, the steering, and braking system.61 In 2015, researchers demonstrated how a Jeep model was hacked through Wi‐Fi connection, that is, a wireless network providing Internet access.62 Not only they disrupted the infotainment system, but also they were able to access the CAN bus (the vehicle's wired network) to cut the brakes and shut down the engine while driving on the road. For other CPS applications (eg, industrial control systems, smart medical devices), the systems under analysis share similar characteristics when regarded as CPSs. A taxonomy for describing human malfunction in industrial installations, Human Factors in Transportation. If the CPS architecture considers this possibility, physical and functional barriers should impede malicious interventions and provide alerts to stop them before leading to hazardous events. Moreover, humans in a remote control workstation could also take control over the vessel as described in the second mode, but in this case transmit the information through wireless communications. Cyber Physical Systems are characterized by their ability to adapt and to learn: They analyze their environment and, based on observations, they learn patterns, correlations and predictive models. The field of cybernetics established the foundations for engineered feedback control systems interacting with the physical world, even before the revolution in digital computation and network communications.6 Norbert Wiener opened the field of cybernetics in 1948, from applications in automatic weapon systems expanding to a wide field of technical systems and even to human behavior and neuroscience.41, Considering this perspective from the evolution in cybernetics, the notion of CPSs as strictly centered in ESs would be very restrictive. system environment that can rapidly bu ild, modify and provision auto-scale cyber-physical systems composed of a set of cloud computing based sensor, processing, control, and data services. In other words, humans (re)act differently in different situations, in contrast to fixed computer algorithms. Other notorious cases for human safety are transportation systems. In this section, we analyze the implications of the (semi)automated control feature in CPSs, considering the role of humans and their potential influence as sources of safety and security risks. In general, the cyber and cyber‐physical aspects receive, process, confine, and transmit information flows. In some cases, an agent may compensate the degradation of situation awareness of another agent. Igor Kozine has been a senior researcher at the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Management engineering since 2009. Lyngby, 2800, Denmark. Indeed, cybersecurity attacks can now cascade into safety risks leading to physical harm to the system and its environment. Hybrid systems played a fundamental role in the motivation for creating a CPS research program, as they were an example of how combining models of computation and physical systems can give way to new theories that enable us to reason about the properties of cyber and physical-controlled systems. If attackers have enough knowledge of the CPS architecture and protocols, they could use these types of attacks to penetrate into the cyber‐physical layer and provoke damage all the way through the physical layer of the system and the physical environment.98, An appropriate protection of CPSs against cyber‐attacks from the cyber environment should include a systematic process of patch management and periodic maintenance of security measures. The concept of energy flows excludes the energies used to transmit information flows. Additionally, designers can decide that a few control cases are inconvenient as a real‐time automatic configuration, considering the complexities involved in the process. These new challenges demand system engineers and risk analysts to understand the security vulnerabilities existing in CPS features and their dependencies with physical processes. The focus of particular interest has been on uncertainty representation in risk and reliability models, simulation of human performance and resilience assessment of critical infrastructure. In sharing control, humans and computers perform different control actions in parallel. As an input, sensors perceive physical quantities from the physical layer and transform them into digital packets. To provide a comprehensible representation to professionals from multiple disciplines, we organize the CPS in a hierarchic structure of layers, each layer corresponding to the cyber, cyber‐physical, and physical processes. On the other hand, both malicious insiders and external cyber‐attackers could deliberately disrupt CPSs using acquired knowledge of the system's security vulnerabilities and the dependencies between its system layers.53, 85. Several protection techniques (eg, isolating privileged execution domains, authentication and access control, and firewalls) and response strategies (eg, intrusion detection) can prevent these cyber security threats by impeding their propagation down through the CPS layers. Some IoT applications provide smart actuator commands from real‐time sensor readings. Conversely, we conceive physical processes as the uses of components different from IT (eg, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and biological) to transform, confine, and control energy flows as immediate goal. Traditionally, the potential failures in hardware (HW) and software (SW) leading to accidents in these control systems are the subject of functional safety of programmable electronic systems (PES).91 Nevertheless, the incorporation of commercial‐off‐the‐shelf (COTS) software and hardware, open‐source communications, and standard protocols are introducing vulnerabilities to cyber threats, making security issues a path toward safety risks in the physical processes. Subsequently, the energies involved in these processes (eg, electric currents, electromagnetic waves) are means to control information. Moreover, the interactions of the CPS with the cyber environment also allows the possibility of targeted cyber‐attacks to the specific platforms used by the CPS. Table 2 compares these sector‐based criteria and assign a threshold in the level of automation to categorize these (semi)autonomous transportation systems as CPSs. For instance, level 7 executes automatically and then informs the human, while previously level 6 allowed the human a time to veto before automatic execution. "Cyber physical systems: Design challenges". Moreover, safety risks in CPSs also extend beyond the system boundaries and pose concerns to humans, assets, and the natural environment interacting with the system in physical terms. Nelson is experienced in Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience projects, where he has worked in collaboration with Civil Protection authorities, infrastructure operators, and research agencies. These systems will provide the foundation of our critical infrastructure, form the basis of emerging and future smart services, and improve our quality of life in many areas. Beyond cars, similar examples also show the case of cybersecurity attacks hijacking the control of ships63, 64 and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)65, 66 during operations. Therefore, the field of safety analysis requires a new systems engineering representation that serves as a basis for a comprehensive safety and security risk analysis method in CPSs.21, 22 This representation should understand the key features of CPSs explained in Section 2 and the evolving roles of humans in automation examined in Section 3. Moreover, the human can access through HMIs the components performing cyber‐physical processes to adjust inputs and parameters during different circumstances. However, these actions are sometimes limited to the activation of information functions (eg, message display, sound notifications) for surveillance, logistics, and monitoring.36, 37 These simple actions are limited to information awareness, while not completing a physical process by themselves. In many cases, ESs operate in open control loops, that is, without incorporating a feedback from the physical processes. Before starting on her PhD, she worked for several years in industry, including as instrumentation engineer (onshore) and automation and electrical supervisor (offshore) in Phillips Petroleum, automation leader at the factory of Nidar, and senior researcher at SINTEF, department for applied cybernetics. The presence and importance of Cyber Physical Systems is intended as the orchestration of networked computational resources with multi-physics (e.g., mechanical, chemical, electrical) systems in industry cannot be overemphasized. The Telemetron ASV is equipped with radar sensors and an automatic identification system (AIS), the latter being the integration of a satellite navigation system with an inertial navigation system. If the level ends with an AND, the next level assumes it as an input. A cyber-physical system is characterized by its high degree of complexity. We finally discuss the association of these features with real cases of safety and security issues in CPSs in recent years. For example, in level 5, the system executes a suggestion if the human approves, which assumes the suggested alternative in level 4. The real‐time feedback control of physical processes through sensors and actuators is fulfilled via the on‐board programmable electronic system. The vulnerabilities to cyber threats and their potential to cascade into physical harm to human, assets, or the natural environment are shared among a wide set of CPSs (either industrial or embedded). Therefore, we could model the dependencies between safety and security sources of risk leading to physical harm as the cascade of UFoI into UFoE, that is, as Uncontrolled Flows of Information and Energy (UFoI‐E).104 This concept of UFoI‐E is compatible with the notion of security for safety,68 where the focus is to enhance safety risk analysis considering the evolving types of physical and cyber‐attacks that could lead to physical harm in CPSs. However, CPSs are still in their conceptualization phase. Finally, sensors detect the new states of the system and the environment, closing the feedback control loops in real‐time while driving. Analogously, we consider as accessory (ie, not key) features the fully automatic control capabilities and possible developments in AI‐based control in CPSs. More recently in 2017, the TRITON malware attack disrupted a petrochemical plant in Saudi Arabia.57, 58 Beyond security concerns of data availability and even operational concerns of continuity in plant operations, this cyber‐attack intended to trigger a dangerous explosion in the plant (ie, physical harm). The realization of cyber threats disrupting SCADA systems and provoking physical consequences could be traced back to the Maroochy water breach in 2000.48-50 This cyber‐attack against the Maroochy Water Services in Australia led to release of one million liters of untreated water into local rivers and parks. Research advances in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) promise to transform our world with systems that respond more quickly, are more precise, work in dangerous or inaccessible environments, provide large-scale, distributed coordination, are highly efficient, augment … As a result, designers, operators, and risk analysts from many disciplines can communicate and collaborate using this common representation as contextual perspective. Cyber‐physical systems – are computing foundations adequate? This paper is organized as follows. Outside this domain, we subdivide the environments interacting with the system into a cyber and a physical environment. Even when communication between individual agents is imperfect, they must be able to have awareness of the views of other agents and interpret the information passing through the system. Mary Ann Lundteigen has been a professor in Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering since 2011, with a period with DNV‐GL as Principle Engineer from 2012–2013. The design paradigm behind these applications is known as the IoT.35, 36 Services such as smart homes and work places, wireless sensor networks (WSN) in urban and rural infrastructures, industrial automation, and smart healthcare are among some relevant fields of deployment. Considering the promising developments and the critical applications of CPSs, government agencies and industrial partnerships regard the research efforts in CPSs as a priority.5 Consequently, publications in the field of CPSs have experienced a positive exponential rate in annual publications since Hellen Gill coined the term in 2006 at the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the United States.6, 7. The computer decides everything, acts autonomously, ignoring the human. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in basic concepts describing a scientific discipline. For more historical attacks to CPSs and empirical demonstrations in research environments, Humayed et al49 described an ample list of attacks to ICSs, smart grids, smart medical devices, and modern cars. He holds a master's degree in Technology and Socioeconomic Planning (cand.techn.soc.) Focusing on the principles of design, modeling, and verification of the computational components and their integration, Alur5 proposed a set of key features of CPSs. The computer offers no assistance: human must take all decisions and actions. It is possible to visualize the interactions at the system interfaces and derive the mechanisms triggering potential failures across the layers of the system.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are currently widely used in people's daily lives but present risks and threats, especially when used by cybercriminals against the governments, corporations, organizations, or individuals. In the future, these systems could be controlled by artificial intelligence (AI), replacing the preprogrammed algorithms by neural networks and self‐improving algorithms.

The CPS master diagram also identifies the potentially hazardous energy flows at the interface between the physical layer and the physical environment, describing uncontrolled flows of kinetic energy that could result in collisions. degree in Civil Engineering from the Catholic University Andres Bello in Caracas, Venezuela, and a MSc. The importance of cyber-physical systems. Lloyd's Register, NBAA Automated Flight Deck Training Guidelines. Finally, industrial recommended practices such as DNVGL‐RP‐049663 stress the potential of cyber‐attacks to penetrate the marine vessels, disrupting the operational technology (OT) of the system, and reaching physical consequences. As a result, some cyber‐physical processes could close the real‐time feedback control loops without recurring to higher‐level programmable controllers. Although one level of automation represents a simplification of a complex control system, this simplification introduces a threshold to frame CPSs with respect to their degree of automated control. These deviations—ranging from unintended incidents to deliberate attacks—are sources of risk to the system at the cyber and cyber‐physical layers. Figure 6 illustrates the vessel driving at sea. In the case of vehicles, they mainly require a control of kinetic energy, while a process plant usually controls a range of energy forms (eg, potential, kinetic, electrical, and chemical). Many control applications tightly coupling cyber and physical processes are composed of programmable controllers not necessarily embedded or hidden into the physical components. The ASV can navigate at sea in autopilot mode and react to obstacles in the environment through the COLAV system. A threshold of automation level where computers close the feedback control loops in (semi)automated tasks, possibly allowing human control in certain cases. Moreover, we complement Alur's conceptualization with an analysis of other rising systems and paradigms associated—but not identical—to CPSs. This interface is the entrance of the physical system into the digital world, where computers and networks control information. This paper remarks the need for research on operations management characteristics as these may be the ones actually leading operations managers to the concrete implementation of CPS-based factories in manufacturing. Their constructive inputs helped us improve this paper. The DT carries characteristics of CPS, such as cyber–physical mapping, closed-loop control, and three-level structure, while its elements (e.g., high-fidelity models, fused data, and on-demand services) can further enhance the cyber–physical integration based on CPS. Instead, this choice represents the case where the control loops occur in real‐time, but the human supervisor can intervene actively if necessary as a feedforward control function (ie, anticipating and reacting beyond feedback corrections).25. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are “engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components.” CPS can be small and closed, such as an artificial pancreas, or very large, complex, and … In the future, the evolution in CPSs could lead to fully automatic and adaptable control systems, ceasing to require human supervisory control. Morten Wied, cand.techn.soc., currently holds a position as PhD Fellow at the Technical University of Denmark and Associated Senior Consultant at the private consultancy Let's Involve. The cyber and cyber‐physical layers of the CPS may operate using cellular communications provided by external vendors, while also these layers can be connected to the internet via internet service providers to exchange relevant information with other systems. and Ph.D. in Systems Sciences from the same university. Increasingly, CPSs are exposed to security attacks, including intentional cyber threats that can go beyond the information domain and “cascade” into physical hazards in the energy domain. Air gaps (ie, network isolation from the cyber environment) are common security measures to prevent the exposure of the safety‐related systems to cyber threats. 10. This cyber‐physical attack was possible even if this vehicle was not autonomous. Finally, the cyber aspects are higher‐level information technology (IT) systems connected to the cyber‐physical aspects and, only indirectly, to the physical aspects.
