Seeing the Past, Planning the Future: Proudly Celebrating 25 Years of Assisting the Convergence of Process Sciences and Design Science

This Extended Editorial has been compiled by the members of the Editorial Board to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Journal of Integrated Design and Process Science, which operates as the Transactions of the Society for Process and Design Science. The paper divides in three parts. The first part provides a detailed...

Framing Supradisciplinary Research for Intellectualized Cyber-Physical Systems: An Unfinished Story

Conceptualization and design of intellectualized, socialized, and personalized cyber-physical systems (CPSs) need integration of existing knowledge across the involved disciplines, as well as exploration and synthesis of novel knowledge beyond disciplinary boundaries. The latter needs a combined use of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary,...

Inventive Approaches to Competitive Systems Engineering: Is There Anything New Under the Sun?

The special issue of the Journal of Integrated Design and Process Science (JIDPS) discusses inventive approaches to competitive systems engineering, including any new developments in the area. It focuses on how inventiveness can be achieved in such a conventional domain as general systems engineering and how researchers see milestones of...

Designing Cyber-Physical Systems for Runtime Self-Adaptation: Knowing More about What We Miss...

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) represent practical examples of the integration of bits and atoms in human and social contexts and contribute to the integration of neurons and genes into system implementation. Many experts believe that a deeper theoretical understanding of system adaptation will lead to the development of autonomous systems and...

Past, Present and Future of Behaviourally Adaptive Engineered Systems

The state of framework development for implementing reasoning mechanisms in smart cyber-physical systems: A literature review

Smart CPSs (S-CPSs) have been evolving beyond what was identified by the traditional definitions of CPSs. The objective of our research is to investigate the concepts and implementations of reasoning processes for S-CPSs, and more specifically, the frameworks proposed for the fuzzy front end of their reasoning mechanisms. The objectives of...
