Cyber Physical System (CPS)

In a cyber-physical system (CPS), it is about the connection of software components with mechanical and electronic parts that communicate with each other via a data infrastructure, such as the Internet: A networking of systems from the digital/virtual and analog/real domains. It is always a highly complex system that encompasses various processes and is intelligently interconnected.

There are a variety of possible application areas for CPS, such as connected safety and driver assistance systems for cars or real-time tracking of the supply chain using GPS.
