Cyber-Physical Systems

Learn the State of the Art in Embedded Systems and Embrace the Internet of Things   The next generation of mission-critical and embedded systems will be “cyber physical”: They will demand the precisely synchronized and seamless integration of complex sets of computational algorithms and physical components. Cyber-Physical Systems is the definitive guide to building cyber-physical systems (CPS) for a wide spectrum of engineering and computing applications.   Three pioneering experts have brought together the field’s most significant work in one volume that will be indispensable for all practitioners, researchers, and advanced students. This guide addresses CPS from multiple perspectives, drawing on extensive contributions from leading researchers.   The authors and contributors review key CPS challenges and innovations in multiple application domains. Next, they describe the technical foundations underlying modern CPS solutions—both what we know and what we still need to learn. Throughout, the authors offer guiding principles for every facet of CPS development, from design and analysis to planning future innovations.   Comprehensive coverage includes Understanding CPS drivers, challenges, foundations, and emerging directionsBuilding life-critical, context-aware, networked systems of medical devicesCreating energy grid systems that reduce costs and fully integrate renewable energy sourcesModeling complex interactions across cyber and physical domainsSynthesizing algorithms to enforce CPS controlAddressing space, time, energy, and reliability issues in CPS sensor networksApplying advanced approaches to real-time schedulingSecuring CPS: preventing “man-in-the-middle” and other attacksEnsuring logical correctness and simplifying verificationEnforcing synchronized communication between distributed agentsUsing model-integration languages to define formal semantics for CPS models Register your product at informit.com/register for convenient access to downloads, updates, and corrections as they become available.
