CPS system integrates physical and computational components for monitoring and controlling physical processes. CPS is a collection of computing devices communicating with one another and interacting with the physical world, via a network of sensors and actuators in a feedback loop. Some Features Reactive/Proactive Computation: reactive systems, that continuously interacts with the environment (includes or not people) through input and output. Nevertheless, we […]

Nowadays, it is still common to find software systems designed with a monolithic architecture, mainly the legacy systems, even with the popularization of the Model View Control (MVC). The development of systems based on MVC, introduced by Trygve Reenskaug into Smalltalk-79, is a software design pattern, which the components of the software are organized in three layers, […]
