Truly complex, engineered systems—known as cyber-physical systems—that integrate physical, software, and network aspects are now on the rise. However, there is no unifying theory nor systematic design methods, techniques or tools for these systems. Individual (mechanical, electrical, network or software) engineering disciplines only offer partial solutions. A technique known as Multi-Paradigm Modelling has recently emerged suggesting to model every part and aspect of a system explicitly, at the most appropriate level(s) of abstraction, using the most appropriate modelling formalism(s), and then weaving the results together to form a representation of the system. If properlyapplied, it enables, among other global aspects, performance analysis, exhaustive simulation, and verification.
This book is the first systematic attempt to bring together these formalisms for anyone starting in the field of CPS who seeks solid modelling foundations and a comprehensive introduction to the distinct existing techniques that are multi-paradigmatic. Though chiefly intended for master and post-graduate level students in computer science and engineering, it can also be used as a reference text for practitioners.
Paulo Carreira is a senior researcher at INESC-ID and senior lecturer of Software Engineering and Database Systems at the CSE Department of IST, University of Lisbon, Portugal. He has served as a scientist in multiple national, EU-funded, and industry-funded projects that applied big data and real-time sensor data processing to cyber-physical systems in the domains of energy management and building automation. Before joining academia, he worked in the industry for 10 years, and was involved in a number of high-visibility data integration projects, both in technical and managerial roles. Paulo is currently also a senior member of the IEEE and the CSO of Sensei, an AI company that turns cameras into sensors to create fully autonomous retail stores. Paulo was a workgroup leader of the MPM4CPS EU COST Action IC1404.
Vasco Amaral is a senior lecturer at the Department of Computer Science, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, and a senior researcher of the NOVALINCS research center. Vasco is also senior member of IEEE. His research is primarily focused on model-driven engineering foundations (mostly domain-specific languages, model composition, model transformations and verification) and multi-paradigm modelling for cyber-physical systems. He has done applied research on high-energy physics computing and is currently involved in the topic of building automation projects. Also, he has been involved in the organization of a series of the international summer school on domain-specific modelling theory and practice (DSM-TP). He was vice-chair of the MPM4CPS EU COST Action IC1404.
Hans Vangheluwe is a Professor at the University of Antwerp. He is the head of the Modelling, Simulation and Design Lab (MSDL) that studies the theory of multi-paradigm modelling and builds tools to support the design and implementation of such complex systems. The MSDL is part of the School of Computer Science of McGill University in Montréal, Québec, Canada and of the AnSyMo (Antwerp Systems). Hans was a co-founder of Modelica, a language for a causal modelling of complex systems and computer automated multi-paradigm modelling. Working in a variety of projects, often with industrial partners, he has developed and applied the model-based theory and techniques of multi-paradigm modelling in such diverse domains as wastewater treatment plant design and optimization, or safe automotive software. He was also the chair of the MPM4CPS EU COST Action IC1404.

If you are a consumer you can cancel the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE RIGHT OF CANCELLATION
Statutory Right to cancel
You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, Books Puddle, 244 Madison Ave, Suite # 405, 10016, New York, New York, U.S.A., +1 7183015977, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Effects of cancellation
If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or Books Puddle, 244 Madison Ave, Suite # 405, 10016, New York, New York, U.S.A., +1 7183015977, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of cancellation
The right of cancellation does not apply to:
