Cyber Physical Systems Emergence With Reference to Manpower Development

Abstract

Cyber-physical systems, in short CPS, is a the term coined by Ellen Gill in the year 2006. It is a kind of embedded system. It is a kind of next generation computing systems that comprises the interacting digital, analog, physical components by integrated physics and logic. This CPS is associated and allied with other technologies and concepts such as big data analytics, cloud computing, internet of things (IoT). Furthermore, cyber-physical systems is making smart things by enabling smart grid, smart cities, and other intelligent and smart things, for example, cars, buildings, homes, manufacturing, hospitals, appliances. This chapter discusses the aspects of cyber-physical systems including its basics, features, functions, and emerging and possible roles. Moreover, this chapter also discusses the current trends on educational programs, training programs in the areas of cyber-physical systems internationally with potentiality in Indian context, and it depicts many opportunities in the contemporary scenario.
