Cyber-physical systems are systems with embedded software (as part of devices, buildings, means of transport, transport routes, production systems, medical processes, logistic processes, coordination processes and management processes), which:
directly record physical data using sensors and affect physical processes using actuators;
evaluate and save recorded data, and actively or reactively interact both with the physical and digital world;
are connected with one another and in global networks via digital communication facilities (wireless and/or wired, local and/or global);
use globally available data and services;
have a series of dedicated, multimodal human-machine interfaces.
