摘要

The design of cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) is a novel and challenging research field due that it emphasizes the deep fusion of cyberspace, physical space, and social space. In this article, we extend our previously proposed system-level design framework [Zeng et al. 2015] to tailor it to the needs of social scenario of multiple users. A hierarchical Petri net-based model and social flow are presented to extend the control flow and formally describe the social interactions of multiple users, respectively. By using the extended model, the system-level optimization for CPSS can be achieved by the improved design flow. Specifically, object emplacement and user satisfaction are further extended into the social environment. Also maximal power estimation algorithm is improved, leveraging the extended intermediate representation model. Finally, we use a smart office case to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our improved design approach for multiple users.
