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
