This book presents an in-depth review of the state of the art of
cyber-physical systems (CPS) and their applications. Relevant case studies are
also provided, to help the reader to master the interdisciplinary material. Features: includes self-test
exercises in each chapter, together with a glossary; offers a variety of teaching
support materials at an associated website, including a comprehensive set of
slides and lecture videos; presents a brief overview of the study of systems,
and embedded computing systems, before defining CPS; introduces the concepts of
the Internet of Things, and ubiquitous (or pervasive) computing; reviews the
design challenges of CPS, and their impact on systems and software engineering;
describes the ideas behind Industry 4.0 and the revolutions in digital
manufacturing, including smart and agile manufacturing, as well as
cybersecurity in manufacturing; considers the social impact of the changes in
skills required by the globalized, digital work environment of the future.
