The theme of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a rapidly growing area of research and development, bringing together the fields of engineering and computer science. CPS can include a variety of components such as sensors, actuators, controllers, and networks that work together to monitor, control, and optimize physical processes in a wide range of applications such as transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and more. Dependable CPS can detect and diagnose faults, and take appropriate actions to ensure continued operation or graceful degradation. With the increasing reliance on CPS, there is a growing need for secure and resilient systems.
