Cyber-physical systems will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another.

Welcome to the home-page of the proposed NSF research initiative on Cyber-Physical Systems.

The research initiative on Cyber-Physical Systems seeks new scientific foundations and technologies to enable the rapid and reliable development and integration of computer- and information-centric physical and engineered systems. The goal of the initiative is to usher in a new generation of engineered systems that are highly dependable, efficiently produced, and capable of advanced performance in information, computation, communication, and control.

Applications for cyber-physical systems can be found in health care (assisted living, bionics, wearable devices, …), transportation and automotive networks, aerospace and avionics, automated manufacturing, blackout-free electricity generation and distribution, optimization of energy consumption in buildings and vehicles, critical infrastructure monitoring, disaster response, efficient agriculture, environmental science, and personal fitness. Sensing and manipulation of the physical world occurs locally, while control and observability are enabled safely, securely, reliably and in real-time across a virtual network. This capability is referred to as “Globally Virtual, Locally Physical”.

An NSF Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems was held on October 16 and 17 in Austin, Texas. Position papers have been received (see Call for Position Papers). The workshop slides can be seen at Presentations.
