Intelligent and pervasive computing for cyber-physical systems

Excerpt

We are happy to introduce the topical collection on “Intelligent and Pervasive Computing for Cyber-Physical Systems” for The Journal of Supercomputing. The subject of cyber-physical systems (CPS) aims to integrate computation, networking and physical processes in Industry 4.0. In these systems, embedded computers for networked monitoring through sensors and control through actuators can help us to manage the physical processes with the use of ultra-reliable and low-latency communications and high-performance computing provided by joint computing–networking infrastructures in distributed nodes. CPS concerns can also include the related topics in Internet of things (IoT) and distributed sensor networks (DSNs) toward pervasive communications and mobile intelligent computing for the research and development of cutting-edge and advanced applications in smart cities and industrial manufacturing. In recent years, high-performance computing for CPS could achieve much attention among academic researchers and industrial developers. With the rapid developments in artificial intelligence, bio-/nature-inspired soft computing and cyber-physical ubiquitous computing strategies, CPS needs to use them extensively. …
