Cyber-Physical systems (CPS) have emerged for local, regional, and wide-area networks of both infrastructure and smart services and grids. They rely on (and cannot work well without) wireless communication, distributed automation and robotics, and collaborative control. I.E. researchers have identified collaborative e-Work (c-Work) as the foundation for CPS e-Services, e-Supply, and e-Business, and other electronic production/repair activities.
As a new way of working in the digital economy, CPS enable e-Work with collaborative, cyber (computing- communication-and-control-) supported work in highly distributed and networked organizations of humans /robots /sensors/autonomous systems.
Better CPS are designed with higher levels of CI (Collaborative Intelligence; see Table below, following Nof, Ch. 3, Springer Handbook of Automation, 2009.) This course is devoted to learning the basic principles, theories, models, and applications for the design of effective CPS, both locally and globally. Relevant and emerging discoveries at Purdue and elsewhere are also presented.
