Abstract/Summary

With the term ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT), one wishes to cover various aspects of sensing and control associated with the extension of the Internet and Web technologies into the physical realm. This requires the seamless integration of multi-domain analog and digital devices within a complex network environment. This contribution focuses on the use of a Bond Graph to represent multi-domain transduction processes assuming a memristive switching system embedded in a simple network. The non-linearity in the dynamics of the system is derived in state space form using an ISO PHS formulation. This formulation permits us to develop multi-domain non-linear circuit elements analysis in state space where multiple elements are embedded in a network. The derived system dynamics may provide additional information regarding the states within any sensor network. This is also of relevance to the modelling of power dissipation in sensor networks.
