Overview
In the vision of Industry 4.0, the new industrial revolution is a revolution of cyber-physical systems, of which the Internet of Things forms a key foundation that has a great impact on the way people live and the way businesses are organized. Cyber-physical systems are often considered feedback systems that integrate computation, networking, and physical processes. The CPSs control the physical processes by utilizing the artificial intelligence to acquire the deep knowledge of the monitored environment. Hence the CPSs are designed to be intelligent to provide highly accurate decisions and appropriate actions promptly. The rapidly growing interconnections between the virtual and physical worlds and the development of new intelligent techniques have created new opportunities for the research for next-generation CPS, that is smart cyber-physical systems (SCPS). The SCPS are large-scale software intensive and pervasive systems, which by combining various data sources (both from physical objects and virtual components) and applying intelligence techniques, can efficiently manage real-world processes and offers a broad range of novel applications and services.
Components of a SCPS must have a high degree of autonomy while cooperating with each other in a robust, scalable and decentralized way. However, several challenges need to be overcome in order to realize such a paradigm, which is highly multidisciplinary. These challenges range from the design of intelligent physical infrastructures for sensing and communication, data stream processing, data analytics and machine learning techniques to build the intelligence core of these systems through the development of self-adaptive and context-aware software. Moreover, safety, social and behavioral issues also need to be considering, when including human beings as an integral part of these highly complex systems. As CPSs hold strong interactions between the cyber and physical components, it plays a significant role in the development of next-generation efficient-smart systems in various real-time applications.
This special issue is intended to report high-quality research on recent advances towards the realization of the Smart Cyber-Physical Systems paradigm. We are interested in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm, in particular, in its application to building Smart and sustainable spaces. This special Issue will report the recent increasing interests in the design and development of intelligent techniques for various applications of Smart Cyber-Physical Systems. Moreover, the authors are expected to investigate state-of-art research issues, architectures, applications and achievements in the field of Cyber-Physical Systems.
