Abstract

Cyber is an integration of computation, communication, and control systems. Physical means natural and human-made systems that are managed and governed by the physics regulations and functioning in constant time. In Cyber Physical Systems, the cyber and physical systems are those firmly incorporated at all stages and dimensions. Starting in late 2006, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and other United State federal agencies sponsored several workshops on CPSs. In 2007, the NSF identified CPSs as a key area of research. CPS uses embedded computers and networks to compute, communicate, and organize physical actions. Simultaneously, a CPS receives feedback on how physical events impact computations and vice versa. Through the Internet and how people communicate with each other, CPSs will change the way people interrelate with the world around them. This chapter explores CPSs.
