Description

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 directions
Building life-critical, context-aware, networked systems of medical devices
Creating energy grid systems that reduce costs and fully integrate renewable energy sources
Modeling complex interactions across cyber and physical domains
Synthesizing algorithms to enforce CPS control
Addressing space, time, energy, and reliability issues in CPS sensor networks
Applying advanced approaches to real-time scheduling
Securing CPS: preventing "man-in-the-middle" and other attacks
Ensuring logical correctness and simplifying verification
