Title: Cyber Physical Systems and Future Internet
Abstract:
With continuing miniaturization and increased wireless connectivity, the computing
systems are becoming deeply embedded into everyday life and interact with
processes and events of the physical world. This cyber-physical interaction has the
potential to transform how humans interact with and control the physical world. Systems
featuring a tight combination of, and coordination between, the system's computational
and physical elements are broadly called cyber physical systems (CPS). Advances in
key technologies are changing how these types of systems operate. For instance, the
level of uncertainty in which these systems operate is increasing, creating the need for
greater physical awareness. Pervasive wireless access is pushing these systems to
unprecedented dynamic and non-deterministic situations. In this talk, we will discuss
some of the research issues in CPS and how they will potentially affect the future Internet.
