Riassunto

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have quickly become one of the hottest computer applications today. With their tight integration of cyber and physical objects, it is believed CPSs will transform how we interact with the physical world, just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. A CPS could be a system at multiple scales, from large smart bridges with fluctuation detection and responding functions, to autonomous cars and tiny implanted medical devices.
Cyber-Physical Systems: Integrated Computing and Engineering Design supplies comprehensive coverage of the principles and design of CPSs. It addresses the many challenges that must be overcome and outlines a roadmap of how to get there.

• Emphasizes the integration of cyber computing and physical objects control
• Covers important CPS theory foundations and models
• Includes interesting case studies of several important civilian and health care applications that illustrate the CPS design process
• Addresses the collaboration of the sensing and controlling of a physical system with robust software architecture
• Explains how to account for random failure events that can occur in a real CPS environment

Presented in a systematic manner, the book begins by discussing the basic concept underlying CPSs and examining some challenging design issues. It then covers the most important design theories and modeling methods for a practical CPS. Next, it moves on to sensor-based CPSs, which use embedded sensors and actuators to interact with the physical world.

The text presents concrete CPS designs for popular civilian applications, including building and energy management. Reflecting the importance of human health care in society, it includes CPS examples of rehabilitation applications such as virtual reality-based disability recovery platforms.

Informazioni sull?autore

Dr. Fei Hu is currently an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, USA. He obtained his Ph.D. degrees at Tongji University (Shanghai, China) in the field of signal processing (in 1999) and at Clarkson University (New York, USA) in the field of electrical and computer engineering (in 2002). He has published over 160 journal/conference papers and books.

Dr. Hu’s research has been supported by the US National Science Foundation, Cisco, Sprint, and other sources. His research expertise can be summarized as 3S: Security, Signals, Sensors:

• Security, which focuses on how to overcome different cyber attacks in a complex wireless or wired network. Recently, he focused on cyber-physical system security and medical security issues.
• Signals, which mainly refers to intelligent signal processing, that is, using machine learning algorithms to process sensing signals in a smart way in order to extract patterns (i.e., achieve pattern recognition).
• Sensors, which includes microsensor design and wireless sensor networking issues.
