CPS 2015 - Cyber Physical Systems: From Theory to Practice

Synopsis and Aim:
After successful deployment of Internet and wireless networks (cellular and Wi-Fi networks) over the past decades, we already have ubiquitous services that provide anywhere, anytime connectivity to the users. Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of computing, communications and control to provide wide range of applications in all domains. This advancement provides the opportunities to bridge the physical components and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use computing (sensing, analyzing, predicting, understanding), communication (interaction, intervene, interface management) and control (inter-operate, evolve, evidence-based certification) to make intelligent and autonomous systems. Thus, advances made as well as complexity have increased due to the integration of cyber components with physical systems. Comprehensive knowledge base of CPS domain is required not only for researchers and practitioners, but also for policy makers and system managers. The process of building a knowledge-base for cyber physical systems is possible through the creation of a comprehensive collection of research and trends on the topic. Unfortunately, such a collection of research on CPS does not exist. The forthcoming book “Cyber Physical Systems: From Theory to Practice” will address significant issues in the field.
The objective of this book is to provide (a medium for researchers and practitioners to present) state-of-the-art of research results and trends related to Science of Cyber-Physical Systems, Technology for Cyber-Physical Systems, and Engineering of Cyber-Physical Systems from theory to practice.
