ABSTRACT
A cyber physical (CPS) system is a computer system in which computer-based algorithms monitor or track a process. Physical and software elements of cyber-physical systems are highly interconnected and may function on various spatial and temporal levels to be operated, which can exhibit numerous and specific behavioral modalities and communicate with each other and also interact with each other. Embedded systems tend to be more focused on computing elements and are less focused on the physical and the computational elements. CPS also has the same basic architecture as the Internet of Things (IoT); however, CPS has a greater combination and synchronization of physical and computing components. The challenge in CPS lies in the design practices of various engineering disciplines. Today, engineers from all fields must be able to collaboratively discuss device design in an environment in which rapid progress is considered to be necessary. Their roles must be delegated to software and physical elements. Recent findings show that the use of co-simulation to link disciplines enables disciplines to cooperate without adding new instruments. The architecture, cyber physical systems and its applications and challenges are detailed in this chapter.
