Implementing Polytope Projects for Smart Systems

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 92))

Abstract

Polytope projects and smart systems are introduced here. Polytope projects are based on a general reference architecture shared by the functional organization of organisms as informational and cognitive systems, by the engineering methodology and the operational structure of self-evolvable systems. The concept of self-integrative closure point out that self-evolvability needs differentiation, integration and coordination. Smart systems are presented here as implementable polytope projects. Cyber-physical systems, that is, smart systems that have cyber technologies deeply embedded in and interacting with physical components, sensing and changing the state of the real world represent an opportunity area and source of competitive advantage for the innovation economy associated to the fourth industrial revolution. Intelligent technical systems are presented as a preliminary implementation of the industry 4.0 concepts.
