Cyber Physical Systems
The National Science Foundation established the Cyber-Physical Systems
(CPS) program with the vision of developing a scientific and engineering
foundation for routinely building cyber-enabled engineered systems in which
cyber capability is deeply embedded at all scales, yet which remain safe,
secure, and dependable -- “systems you can bet your life on.”
The CPS challenge spans essentially every engineering domain.
It requires the integration of knowledge and engineering principles across
many computational and engineering research disciplines (computing,
networking, control, human interaction, learning theory, as well as mechanical,
chemical, biomedical, and other engineering disciplines) to develop a “new
CPS system science.”
Traditional analysis tools are unable to cope with the full
complexity of CPS or adequately predict system behavior
