Introduction

  • Chapter
Optimal Mobile Sensing and Actuation Policies in Cyber-physical Systems

Abstract

This chapter first introduces background on cyber-physical systems (CPS) and distributed parameter systems with several popular definitions on cyber-physical systems. Applications of CPS are briefly reviewed with example CPSs from automotive transportation, smart buildings, communication systems, and medical systems to water distribution systems, together with a review of challenges in CPS research. This chapter further introduces several research motivations of CPS with detailed application scenarios. This chapter ends with a summary of monograph contributions and a preview of chapters.
