Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

Information and communication technologies are strong driving forces of innovation. Two of them act as crucial driving forces in this matter:

  • embedded software-intensive systems, as found in virtually all high-tech products and systems today, for example in devices, vehicles, aircraft, buildings and production systems, whose functionality is characterized decisively by such systems;

  • global networks like the internet and the data and services available on the World Wide Web.
