arXiv:2608. 11221v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are typically developed by multiple stakeholders who produce artefacts tailored to their specific domains of expertise.
arXiv:2606. 18532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI systems are increasingly evaluated in bounded environments that combine isolation, simulation, instrumentation, supervision, and evidence capture.
The paper presents a method to estimate inconsistency response surfaces in Cyber‑Physical Systems (CPS) under uncertainty. By reformulating inconsistency as an intervention‑response modeling problem, the authors use Saltelli sampling and multi‑fidelity Monte Carlo estimation to generate datasets, then train a surrogate model that predicts inconsistency from propagated uncertainty geometry. Experiments on 48 scenarios across 10 CPS domains show that the surrogate matches Monte Carlo estimates while dramatically reducing evaluation time, enabling extensive sensitivity analysis and a gradient‑based consistency recourse method to identify minimal interventions that restore consistency.
The paper reports an empirical study comparing traditional and AI‑enabled Simulink controllers, using a taxonomy of ten structural categories and nine functional roles. Analyzing 62 real‑world models and surveying 13 practitioners, it finds that subsystem organization dominates all controller architectures, AI models rely heavily on discrete dynamics and user‑defined abstraction, and constraint enforcement blocks largely disappear in AI‑enabled designs. These findings highlight architectural tensions and gaps between AI literature and practical implementation.
arXiv:2606. 13196v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent AI systems can generate texts, software architectures, hypotheses, designs, and scientific workflows that appear creative.
World models give embodied AI a predictive core: they compress observations into states, simulate action-conditioned futures, and enable planning beyond reactive control. This predictive layer, however, opens a new security boundary-compromise can propagate from data, sensors, prompts, or feedback into physical action.
