Recently, the convergence of cyber and physical spaces has transformed traditional embedded systems into cyber physical systems (CPS), which are characterized by tight integration and coordination among computation and physical processes by networking. In CPS, various embedded devices with computational components are networked to monitor, sense, and actuate physical elements in the real world.

Examples of CPS encompass a wide range of man-made systems such as avionics, healthcare, transportation, automation, and smart grid systems. In addition, the recent proliferation of smart phones and mobile Internet devices equipped with multiple sensors can be leveraged to enable mobile cyber-physical applications. In this tutorial, we provide an overview of CPS by summarizing recent research efforts and future opportunities for CPS.
