Christophe Ponsard, Jean-Christophe Deprez and Robert Darimont, Towards Requirements Engineering Patterns for Cyber-Physical Systems, ERCIM News 97, April 2014.
Engineering Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is challenging in many respects, including at the Requirements Engineering (RE) stage. In addition to generic RE techniques that already encompass the system dimension of CPS, such systems can benefit from domain knowledge related to specific requirements, such as accuracy, dependability and security. This knowledge can be structured as a reusable requirements pattern library.
