MULTIDISCIPLINARY INTEGRATION DURING CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PROCESS: A SURVEY ON DESIGN METHODS OF CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS

CPS design can be characterised as a multidisciplinary integration topic, which has attracted the attention of both academia and industry for a long time. The paper aims at reviewing the existing design methods by focusing on the multidisciplinary integration during the early design process. In order to assess the design methods, some criteria are proposed and used to evaluate each design methods. According to the assessment results, the directions for the future research will be pointed out finally.
