Symbol

Description

G = (V, E, μV, μE)

Fuzzy interaction graph representing the robotic CPS

V

Set of vertices (robotic agents, modules, or CPS components)

E

Set of (undirected) edges (potential interactions/communication links)

μV(vi)

Fuzzy vertex membership: reliability/stability of node vi

μE(vi, vj)

Fuzzy edge membership: interaction strength/communication fidelity between vi and vj

N(vi)

Neighbor set of node vi in the fuzzy graph

df(vi)

Fuzzy degree (prominence) of node vi

P

Path connecting two nodes in G

S(P)

Strength of path P (e.g., minimum of edge memberships along P)

λ(i, j)

Strength of connectedness between nodes i and j (maximum-strength path between them)

SP(i, j)

Strength Prominence index between nodes i and j

T

Time index or discrete time frame in the ROS log

Ackij, Reqij

Acknowledgement and request packet counts between agents i and j over a time window

dij

Euclidean distance between agents i and j

Succi, Acti

Number of successful transmissions and intended actions for agent i

Ei

Residual energy of agent i

α, β, δ

Hyper parameters controlling distance decay and trade-off between communication success and energy sufficiency

TP, FP, FN

True positives, false positives, and false negatives in link prediction

AUC

Area under the ROC curve

AUP

Area under the Precision–Recall curve
