Design of cyber-physical systems: Definition and metamodel for reusable resources

The utilization of modular and reusable resources would reduce complexity and lead-time for the design of cyber-physical systems. Even if different theories have been proposed, there is not a general definition and metamodel applicable for reusable resources. Energetic approaches constitute the state of the art for modeling the dynamics of physical systems. Within this work, Power-Oriented Graphs energetic approach is adapted to cyber-physical systems in order to provide a definition for reusable resources. Eventually, a metamodel for reusable resources is proposed.
