The Cyber-Physical Systems Revolution

In 2006, the US National Science Foundation released the cyber-physical systems as

a new vision for how to fully computerize and engineer the hardware and physical

components in an integrated way [5]. Where the process of integrating computing

with physical systems is defined by what is known as a cyber-physical system (CPS)

[6]. CPS integrates dynamic physical processes with computing and networking

systems to help integrate systems, design, and analysis used in intelligent industrial

process applications. Inserted computers screen and control physical forms, as a rule

with criticism circles, where physical forms influence computations and bad habits

versa. CPS helps to combine the computing systems applications with the strategies

for building models for systems of a mechanical and electrical nature, as well as

chemical and biological processes [7].

CPS goes beyond traditional presentation to dynamic framework models to under-

stand physical effects across the physical cyber interface via sensors that link infor-

mation between physical and electronic parts [8]. In other words, CPS is a basic

system that works to link the physical parts in industrial applications with the cyber

world. The plan of CPS is right now a driver for development over different busi-

nesses, making unused markets [7, 8]. More proficient CPS will affect positively in

financial issues related to industrial applications. CPS is related to the innovations

empowering computerized assets and physical objects to have interacted with each

other in ways to handle numerous provide assignments.

CPS combines the physical, biological, engineering, and information technolo-

gies parts based on software and computing as shown in Fig. 1. As an example, the

concept of CPS technology has been used before by Germany during the second

War to monitor the wings of military aircraft [9]. In the CPS system, it’s important

to ensure that embedded systems can provide real-time processing for critical appli-

cations. According to this concept, many industrial systems were built using CPS
