Computational Model for Gossiping Components in Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract: Developing software for dynamic cyber-physical systems (CPS) is a complex task A particular challenge in this context is the robust distributed data dissemination in dynamic networks. Gossip-based communication stands as a promising solution to this challenge. We argue, that exploitation of application-specific information, software architecture in particular, has a large potential for improving the robustness and performance of gossip-based communication. This report presents a computational model that represents a synergy between high-level architectural models and low-level communication models to effectively enable application-specific gossiping in component-based systems
