Evaluating IEEE 802.15.4 for Cyber-Physical Systems

With rapid advancements in sensing, networking, and computing technologies, recent years have witnessed the emergence of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in a broad range of application domains. CPS is a new class of engineered systems that features the integration of computation, communications, and control. In contrast to general-purpose computing systems, many cyber-physical applications are saf...

Special Issue on Scalable Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber–Physical Systems (CPSs) are characterized by the strong interactions among cyber components and dynamic physical components. CPS is expected to play a major role in the development of next-generation smart energy systems, especially for the large scale power systems. Due to the deeply complex intertwining among different components, CPS poses fundamental challenges in multiple aspects, su...

Access Control Challenges for Cyber-Physical Systems

With the growth of wireless networks and mobile devices, we are moving closer towards an era of cyberphysical systems (CPSs). Such systems have the potential to benefit numerous applications in areas as diverse as military, financial, and health care. However, security issues must be addressed before CPSs can be widely deployed. The problem is serious because CPSs involve interactions between a...
