Cyber-Physical-Social Systems: An Overview

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Smart Connected World

Abstract

For the past few years, devices or systems have been transformed into smart connected devices or systems, which are widely named as Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber-physical systems (CPSs). Integrating social networks to CPSs results in a new paradigm called cyber-physical-social systems (CPSSs). CPSSs include the human-to-device communications and device-to-device communications and create continuous interaction of human-device relationships. The fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication networks, wireless sensor networks, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) are the supporting technologies of CPSSs. This chapter discusses the concept of the CPSSs, their supporting technologies, and the implementation of CPSSs in different domains. It also observes current challenges such as privacy concerns, ethical issues, safety, security, interdependence, and compatibility.
