Design Space Exploration using Evolutionary Optimisation in Cyber-Physical Systems: A Smart Port Case Study

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This work discusses using evolutionary optimisation algorithms at the design stage of cyber-physical systems. We present a parametrized model for a complex, heterogeneous, distributed cyber-physical system. This model is then used to calculate certain performance metrics of the system which will assist the design engineer. The optimisation of the system structure and its parameters is then performed by an evolutionary algorithm.
