Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-Physical Systems integrate embedded computers and networks with physical processes. They depend on feedback loops between computation and physical processes, data analytics, and AI. Their engineering needs unprecedented cooperation between different engineering disciplines. Development and deployment require new integrated scientific theories and engineering techniques. They will deliver advances in green buildings, autonomous vehicles, traffic flow management, emergency response, smart grids, industrial control, personalised healthcare, robotics, and other areas only now being envisaged.

Research Directions: Cyber-physical Systems community unites researchers from different fields to explore questions, challenges, and hypotheses around applications; design methods; design technology; high integrity CPS; implementation; systems; technology; theory; verification and validation.

Research Directions: Cyber-Physical Systems community is a space to discover and contribute to the Questions shaping the field of Cyber-Physical Systems. Find out more about the associated journal here [opens in a new tab].

If this is your field, shape this community by:

• Submitting early or supplementary outputs, typically non-peer reviewed, that help answer the published questions. All outputs have a doi and therefore are discoverable and citable.
• Suggesting future questions for publication. If the advisory council and executive board accept your suggestion, you will be the author of the Question. Please use the discussion forum for this or contact us on cyber-physicalsystems@cambridge.org.
• Discussing other researchers’ question suggestions and other researchers’ outputs in the forum.

Suggesting how we can make this community and the associated journal work for you by contacting us on cyber-physicalsystems@cambridge.org or via the forum.
