Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in the automotive engineering process address the challenge of focusing on the interaction with physical processes rather than to cope with limited computational resources. The aim is to understand the joint dynamic of software, networks and physical processes, including the human in a vehicle. In the interplay between software and hardware, the user is an integral component and needs to be kept in the loop to understand, validate and control automotive prototypes. With the focus on information systems, this becomes particularly challenging with an increase of information sources. We define four categories to assess the effort for CPS prototyping to point out challenges and potential related to human-in-the-loop requirements.     «
