Agile Approach for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Development using Cloud Computing

This paper aims to present an agile approach for developing CPS using cloud computing. This study demonstrates in three limitations including, 1) lack of tools for deploy, simulation and continues improvement(CI), 2) limited visibility of customer environment, and 3) lack of repository and version control management. This paper applied the Azure cloud platform as a tool to facilitate the developer to use an agile approach for developing four cases of CPS are Blink, Temperature, sound and I2C serial LCD. All cases produced with two methods are Agile approach with cloud platform and Agile with the non-cloud platform. From study founds that cloud computing can easily use an agile approach for CPS development than non-cloud platform development. Especially, Continues Integration, simulation, deployment, repository management, production and operation, and Usage and visualisation of data. However, some aspects that can study in the future. For example, HW/SW dependency may solve with containers such as micro-service, docker and IaaS Platform. Besides, an integration between Simulink and cloud platform is a challenge for modelling specification.
