A comprehensive overview of cyber-physical systems: from perspective of feedback system

Abstract

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are characterized by integrating cybernetic and physical processes. The theories and applications of CPS face the enormous challenges. The aim of this paper is to provide a latest understanding of this emerging multi-disciplinary methodology. First, the features of CPS are described, and the research progresses are summarized from different components in CPS, such as system modeling, information acquisition, communication, control and security. Each part is also followed by the future directions. Then some typical applications are given to show the prospects of CPS.

Towards Human-in-the-Loop Cyber-Physical Systems

“…This includes a great deal of review articles and survey studies divided into two categories. On one hand, works investigate the major research challenges, discuss the scientific foundations and engineering principles, present the various application fields, and/or propose general architectures for the realization of CPS [7,13,42,53,61,91,112,133,163,174,175,190,222].…”
