About…

The objective of the Cyber-Physical Topology Language (CPTL) is to provide practitioners with a human-readable, machine-actionable language to integrate diverse data sources and communicate such data in an open format. A CPTL model consists of the following:

  1. a graph that captures connectivity information among assets,
  2. a set of ontologies that specify the types of those assets and associated graph attributes, and
  3. a mapping from concepts and roles in those ontologies to the graph. The long-term goal of CPTL is to enable a broad range of new research on realistic cyber-physical architectures by giving practitioners, auditors, managers, and researchers a common language with which to communicate and analyze those architecures.
