Safety and Security of Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) consist of software-controlled computing devices communicating with each other and interacting with the physical world through sensors and actuators.Because most of the functionality of a CPS is implemented in software, the software is of crucial importance for the safety and security of the CPS. This book presents principle-based engineering for the development and operation of dependable software.The knowledge in this book addresses organizations that want to strengthen their methodologies to build safe and secure software for mission-critical cyber-physical systems.The book:* Presents a successful strategy for the management of vulnerabilities, threats, and failures in mission-critical cyber-physical systems;* Offers deep practical insight into principle-based software development (62 principles are introduced and cataloged into five categories: Business & organization, general principles, safety, security, and risk management principles);* Provides direct guidance on architecting and operating dependable cyber-physical systems for software managers and architects.
