Reliability Optimization of CPS by digital twining

Digital twining (DT) is a recent approach in designing, optimization, and exploitation of cyber physical systems (CPS). DT can be used to simulate the behaviour of the CPS during a failure event, allowing reliability engineers to identify areas of the system that are vulnerable to failure, the root cause of the failure and to develop strategies for prevention. In this paper the interest goes to designing CPS based on digital twining approach while maximizing CPS reliability. The most common CPS reliability requirements are investigated and their reliability optimization strategies when using DT are discussed.
