Human-cyber-physical systems: concepts, challenges, and research opportunities
Abstract: In this perspective article, we first recall the historic background of human-cyber-physical systems (HCPSs), and then introduce and clarify important concepts. We discuss the key challenges in establishing the scientific foundation from a system engineering point of view, including (1) complex heterogeneity, (2) lack of appropriate abstractions, (3) dynamic black-box integration of heterogeneous systems, (4) complex requirements for functionalities, performance, and quality of services, and (5) design, implementation, and maintenance of HCPS to meet requirements. Then we propose four research directions to tackle the challenges, including (1) abstractions and computational theory of HCPS, (2) theories and methods of HCPS architecture modelling, (3) specification and verification of model properties, and (4) software-defined HCPS. The article also serves as the editorial of this special section on cyber-physical systems and summarises the four articles included in this special section.
Key words: Abstractions, Architecture modelling, Evolution, Software-defined technology

摘要：回顾人机物融合系统的背景，介绍并澄清一些重要概念。从系统工程角度探讨并提出建立人机物融合系统的科学基础面临的重要挑战，包括：（1）复杂的异质性；（2）合适抽象的缺失；（3）大量异质黑盒子系统的动态集成；（4）复杂的功能、性能和服务质量方面的需求；（5）满足需求的人机物融合系统的设计、实现和运维。为应对以上挑战，建议从4个方面开展研究：（1）人机物融合系统的抽象与计算理论；（2）人机物融合系统体系架构的建模理论与方法；（3）模型性质的规约与验证；（4）人机物融合系统的软件定义方法与技术。最后，作为本信息物理融合系统专题的编辑按语，简介专题收录的4篇文章。
