Abstract

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) represent a transformative technological paradigm that tightly integrates computation, networking, and physical processes. By bridging the cyber (digital/computational) and physical (real-world) domains, CPS are revolutionizing how intelligent systems interact with their environments, offering enhanced autonomy, efficiency, and responsiveness across various sectors.

Definition and Conceptual Framework

Cyber-Physical Systems are engineered systems in which embedded computers and networks monitor and control physical processes, usually with feedback loops where physical processes affect computations and vice versa. These systems consist of sensors, actuators, controllers, and communication modules working in concert to collect data, process it in real-time, and respond with intelligent control actions.

CPS extend beyond traditional embedded systems by incorporating higher degrees of connectivity, interoperability, and autonomous decision-making. They form the backbone of next-generation infrastructures in domains such as smart manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, smart healthcare, smart grids, and intelligent transportation systems.
