Cyber-Physical Systems: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) is a discipline of engineering that involves the integration of computation, networking and physical processes. It is a combination of transdisciplinary approaches, merging theory of cybernetics, mechatronics, and design and process science. The key features of CPS are that it is networked, has a strong sensing capability and high performance potential, and can work in a real time environment. CPS has its applications in diverse sectors such as transport, health...
