Abstract
The Cyber Physical System (CPS) is a unique paradigm and is shaping the revolution of computing technologies. This will accelerate innovation by creating the means for objects or machines to communicate heterogeneous types of information among themselves and collaborate with peers to provide novel services. The CPS will empower consumers with better home automation, built environment, improved healthcare, intelligent transportation solutions and many more important services. Without doubt, most of the CPS technology and applications will directly or indirectly influence bespoke domains like business, psychology, built environment, engineering and life sciences. In coming years, we will be seeing new paradigm shift in the way user interacts with physical objects and environment. To compete in this new reality, consumer and users must now understand how their products are controlled by CPS ecosystems, which means understanding their application design, network communication, and platform architectures as well as the emerging paradigm of Internet of Things (IoT), big data, security and privacy. The CPS initiatives and activities worldwide are mainly concentrated on architectures and protocols for efficient interconnection of heterogeneous objects and the creation of value-added services. This talk aims to explore those issues involved technologies of CPS, their application domain as well as to pursue the state-of-the-art and future directions of CPS. A glimpse of IEEE initiatives on CPS as well future directions would also be covered.
