Smart Cyber Physical Systems: Advances, Challenges and Opportunities

ISBN: 9780367337889

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are the new generation of collaborative computational entities, with a prime focus on integration of the physical world and cyber space. Through a feedback mechanism, the system adapts itself to new conditions in real time. The scope of this book includes research experience by experts in CPS infrastructure systems, incorporating sustainability by embedding computing and communication in day-to-day applications. CPS, integrated with Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Big Data, Cloud Computing and Communication, lay a foundation for the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0. This book will be of immense use to practitioners in industries with a focus on autonomous and adaptive configuration, and on optimization, leading to increased agility, elasticity and cost effectiveness.

The contributors of this book include renowned academics, industry practitioners and researchers. It offers a rigorous introduction to the theoretical foundations, techniques and practical solutions, through case studies. Building CPS with effective communication, control, intelligence and security is discussed in terms of societal and research perspectives.

The objective of this book is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and to achieve progress in CPS by highlighting applications, advances and research challenges. It is highly recommended to be used as a reference book for graduate and post-graduate level programmes in universities, with a focus on research in computer science-related courses.
