Abstract:

Cyber physical systems (CPS) are physical systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by a computing and communication core. In other words, CPS is a system of systems which offers integrations of computation, networking and physical processes. Applications of CPS include vehicular systems and transportation, medical and healthcare systems, smart homes and buildings, social network and gaming, and so on. In this talk, I will first present an overview of CPS and then briefly introduce the design and challenges of CPS by giving several examples
