Architecture of homeostatic security control for digital manufacture systems based on software-defined networks

Abstract

The authors have offered the homeostatic control system architecture for digital manufacture security based on the software-defined network technology. We have highlighted the development features of digital manufacture systems and defined the technology advantages of software- defined networks, which allow these networks to be successfully applied with flexible and adaptive topology for a highly efficient new generation of cyber-physical systems. We have also described the main operating principles of software-defined networks in digital manufacture systems. A description of homeostatic security control technology, which includes a combination of engines to provide stability of the system’s internal environment and structural and functional resistance to external disturbances, is provided. We have proposed and described in detail the homeostatic security control system architecture including three generalized components: monitoring unit, decision-making unit, protection and control unit.
