| The goal of this thesis is to investigate how the design method for the embedded software in a cyber-physical system can be applied to the physical part. | |||||
| The setup of the design method and applying that method in the case study pointed out that there is an enormous difference between the cyber and physical part. | |||||
| This difference in presents itself in development cost and system complexity. | |||||
| \subsection{Complexity} | |||||
| Almost every complex system that is produced today contains software. | |||||
| Software is often the reason that the complex system can exist in the first place. | |||||
| Where software can have millions of states, configurations and variables, hardware is often limited to a dozen of states. | |||||
