Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS): Introduction

Guest Editors’ Introduction: Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)

CYBER-PHYSICAL systems refer to the tight link between computational, virtual, and physical resources that drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life. Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, and promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptab...

Industrial Cyber – Physical Systems

Dependable Cyber-Physical Systems

CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) enable a new class of applications that perceive their surroundings using raw data from sensors, monitor the timing of dynamic processes, and control the physical environment. Since failures and misbehaviors in application domains such as cars, medical devices, nuclear power plants, etc., may cause significant damage to life and/or property, CPS need to be safe and ...

Cyber-physical production systems: Roots, expectations and R&D challenges

One of the most significant directions in the development of computer science and information and communication technologies is represented by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) which are systems of collaborating computational entities which are in intensive connection with the surrounding physical world and its on-going processes, providing and using, at the same time, data-accessing and data-proce...

Cyber - Physical - Production - Systems at the BTU Model Factory

The term 'Industry 4.0' was introduced the first time in Germany at the Hanover fair in 2011 and is a central focus of the Federal Government's Digital Agenda. It is supporting and promoting the digitization of industry and has the potential to bring about profound transformation to efficient factory manufacturing. The implementation strategy forms the basis for all future work. It not only rec...
