Cyber-Physical Systems: Foundations and Techniques

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is the interconnection of the virtual or cyber and the physical system. It is realized by combining three well-known technologies namely Embedded Systems, Sensors and actuators and Network and communication System or IoT. These technologies are combined to form a system known as CPS. In CPS the physical process and information processing are so tightly connected that it is hard to distinguish the individual contribution of each process from the output. Some of the exciting innovations such as Autonomous cars, Quadcopter, space ships, sophisticated medical machinery fall under CPS. The scope of CPS is tremendous. In CPS, we can see the applications of various emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Big Data (BD), Robotics, Quantum Technology, etc. Almost in all the sectors whether it is education, health, human resource development, skill improvement, Startup strategy up-gradation, etc., we see an enhancement in the quality output, which is because of the emergence of CPS into the field. The CPS is considered the upcoming Industry revolution. The book covers the different aspects associated with the CPS, such as algorithm, application areas, improvement of existing technology to name a few.
