Forkortelse for: Cyber physical system
En betegnelse for en mekanisme, der styres eller overvåges af computerbaserede algoritmer, som er tæt integreret med internettets og dets brugere. Definitionen på CPS er mange - her et uddrag:
Hermann et al.: “An important component of Industrie 4.0 is the fusion of the physical and the virtual world. This fusion is made possible by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). CPS are ‘integrations of computation and physical processes. Embedded computers and networks monitor and control the physical processes, usually with feedback loops where physical processes affect computations and vice versa.”
Zhong et al: “... a mechanism through which physical objects and software are closely intertwined, enabling different components to interact with each other in a myriad of ways to exchange information.”
