A Systematic Literature Review on Model-driven Engineering for Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

This technical report presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) study that focuses on identifying and classifying the recent research practices pertaining to CPS development through MDE approaches. The study evaluates 140 research papers published during 2010-2018. Accordingly, a comprehensive analysis of various MDE approaches used in the development life-cycle of CPS is presented. Furthermore, the study identifies the research gaps and areas that need more investigation. The contribution helps researchers and practitioners to get an overall understanding of the research trends and existing challenges for further research/development.

A Literature Review on the Development and Creation of Digital Twins, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Product-Service Systems

“…While Horvath et al [ 15 ] provided a more general overview of the state-of-the-art, Korotunuv et al [ 16 ], Liu et al [ 17 ], and Quadri et al [ 18 ] focused on modelling and design methodologies for CPS. The two reviews by Mohamed et al [ 19 , 20 ] are particularly noteworthy due to the scope of the literature examined. They provided a broad overview of the CPS literature.…”

A Conceptual Introduction to Model Driven Development: From Softness to Complexity

“…Thus, model-driven development can lead to the automatic generation and development of software. It's a very important issue for today's software development (for example: for cyber physical systems [8], smart contracts [9], mobile computing [10], legacy to cloud-migration [11], microservices [12], etc. ).…”
