CPSIT2022: Cyber-Physical Systems for Industrial Transformation: Fundamentals, Standards, and Protocols

The advances of cyber-physical systems aim to enable capability, adaptability, scalability, resiliency, safety, security, and usability that will far exceed the simple embedded systems of today. The term "cyber-physical systems" (CPS) refers to a new generation of systems that combine computational and physical capabilities to interact with humans in a variety of new ways. It appears as a result of an increase in technological systems in which interactions between interconnected computer systems and the physical environment were prioritized. Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) and the Internet of Things (IoT) advancements are paving the way for a future of hyper-connected objects, computers, and humans.

This book will assist readers in comprehending the fundamentals of CPS, including its standards and protocols within the industrial transformation. In addition, exploring more about emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Blockchain, Robotic Process Automation, Virtual Reality, Edge Computing, and 5G Technology. Furthermore, throughout the book chapters, a merging and futuristic fusion of emerging technologies and cyber-physical systems (CPSs) will be articulated. This fusion will anticipate the current and the future opportunities to bring innovative methods to cyber-physical systems in order to make them more robust and reliable throughout emerging technologies.

The contributors are expected to further the knowhow on state-of-the art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements in (but not limited to) the following topics:

• Standards, Protocols, and Methodologies of CPS.
• Opportunities and challenges for Cyber-Physical Systems in industrial transformation 
• Optimization and Automation for Cyber-Physical Systems
• CPS applications in environmental monitoring, transportation, and healthcare.
• Cloud and Virtualization for CPS.
• Everything-as-a-Service in CPS.
• Real-Time Sensing, Processing, and Actuation Software For CPS.
• Communication and Infotainment Systems In CPS.
• Fault-Tolerant for CPS.
• Security and Privacy issues in CPS.
• AI and CPS
• IoT and CPS
• Blockchain and CPS
• 5G and CPS
