SPECIAL ISSUE ON
“Intelligent, Smart and Scalable Cyber-Physical Systems”
AIMS & SCOPE:
The integration of human physical processes with the computation has created a new paradigm called Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). The CPSs control the physical processes by utilizing the computational intelligence to acquire the deep knowledge of the monitored environment. Hence the CPSs are designed to be intelligent to provide highly accurate decisions and appropriate actions promptly. The rapidly growing interconnections between the virtual and physical worlds and the development of new intelligent techniques have created new opportunities for the research for next-generation CPS, that is intelligent cyber-physical systems (iCPS). The iCPS are large‐scale software intensive and pervasive systems, which by combining various data sources (both from physical objects and virtual components) and applying intelligence techniques, can efficiently manage real-world processes and offers a broad range of novel applications and services. By equipping physical objects with interfaces to the virtual world, and incorporating intelligent mechanisms to leverage collaboration between these objects, the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds become blurred. Interactions occurring in the physical world are capable of changing the processing behavior in the virtual world, in a causal relationship that can be exploited for the constant improvement of processes. Intelligent, self-aware, self-managing and self-configuring pervasive systems can be built to improve quality of process across a variety of application domains, helping to address a number of contemporary social and environmental issues.
Components of an iCPS must have a high degree of autonomy while cooperating with each other in a robust, scalable and decentralized way. However, several challenges need to be overcome in order to realize such a paradigm, which is highly multidisciplinary. These challenges range from the design of intelligent physical infrastructures for sensing and communication, data stream processing, data analytics and machine learning techniques to build the intelligence core of these systems through the development of self-adaptive and context-aware software. Moreover, safety, social and behavioral issues also need to be considering, when including human beings as an integral part of these highly complex systems. As CPSs hold strong interactions between the cyber and physical components, it plays a significant role in the development of next-generation efficient-smart systems in various real-time applications. Due to the highly complex intertwining among different components, CPS poses fundamental challenges in multiple aspects, such as real-time data processing, efficient parallel computing, data sensing and collection, and distributed computing. The above-mentioned challenges require innovative technologies to meet the growing demands in the smart homes, connected vehicles, and smart energy systems. In this regard, the research on the merging and communication between centric systems and information-centric systems in the CPS perspective is deemed to be extremely promising.
This special issue is intended to report high-quality research on recent advances toward the realization of the Smart Cyber-Physical Systems paradigm. We are interested in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm, in particular, in its application to building Smart and sustainable spaces. This special Issue will report the recent increasing interests in the design and development of intelligent techniques for various applications of Cyber-Physical Systems. Moreover, the authors are expected to investigate state-of-art research issues, architectures, applications and achievements in the field of Cyber-Physical Systems.
