Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) will revolutionize how humans relate with the physical world around us. Many grand challenges await the economically vital domains of transportation, health-care, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, defence, aerospace and buildings. Exploration of these potentialities around space and time would create applications which would affect societal and economic benefit. This paper looks into the concept of emerging Cyber-Physical system, applications and security issues in sustaining development in various economic sectors; outlining a set of strategic Research and Development opportunities that should be accosted, so as to allow upgraded CPS to attain their potential and provide a wide range of societal advantages in the future.

This paper is an analysis and systematization of modern research in the field of cyber-physical system information security. The problematic issues of information security of such systems are considered: «what is being attacked?», «who is attacking?», «why is someone attacking?», «how is someone attacking?» and «how to protect the system?». As an answer to the first question, the paper proposes a definition and classification of cyber-physical systems according to such criteria as complexity, connectivity, criticality and social aspect. As an answer to the second and the third questions, the paper describes a classification of attacker according to such criteria as type of access, method of access, intentions, knowledge and resources. As  an answer to the fourth question, the paper contains a classification of attack actions according to such criteria as subject and object, method of influence, prerequisites and consequences. As an answer to the fifth question, the paper proposes a classification of protection methods and security tools according to such criteria as principle of operation, object of protection and task to be solved. The scientific significance of the paper is systematization of a current state of the art in the subject area. The practical value of the paper is providing information about security issues that are specific to cyber-physical systems, which will allow one to develop, manage and use such systems in a more secure way.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review and explore the evolution, advances and future trends of cloud manufacturing, placing the focus on the quality of services. Moreover, moving toward the new trend of cyber-physical systems (CPS), a cloud-based cyber-physical system (CBCPS) is proposed combining the key enabling techniques of this decade, namely Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, Big Data analytics and CPS. Design/methodology/approach – First, an extensive review is made on cloud computing and its applications in manufacturing sectors, namely product development, manufacturing processes and manufacturing systems management. Second, a conceptual CBCPS which combines key enabling techniques including cloud computing, CPS and IoT is proposed. Finally, a review on the quality of the services (QoS) presented in the second step, along with the main security issues of cloud manufacturing, is conducted. Findings – The findings of this review indicate that the combination of the key enabling techniques presented in the CBCPS will lead to a new manufacturing paradigm capable of facing the new challenges and trends. The opportunities, as well as the challenges and barriers of the proposed framework are presented, concluding that the transition into this whole new era of networked computing and manufacturing has a valuable impact, but also generates several security and quality issues. Originality/value – The paper is the first to specifically study the QoS as a factor in the proposed manufacturing paradigm.

In Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), physical processes, computational resources and communi- cation capabilities are tightly interconnected. Traditionally, the physical components of a CPS are described by means of differential or difference equations, while the cyber components are modeled by means of discrete dynamics. Therefore, hybrid systems, that are heterogeneous dynamical sys- tems characterized by the interaction of continuous and discrete dynamics, are a powerful modeling framework to deal with CPSs. Motivated by the great importance of security issues for CPSs, we characterize the observability and diagnosability properties for hybrid systems in the general case where the available information may be corrupted by an external attacker. Then, as CPSs are found in a wide range of applications, we demonstrate how to estimate the continuous state by simulating two scenarios: the control of a Direct Current (DC) Microgrid, and the control of a network of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) cooperatively transporting a payload.

A large section of the population around the globe is migrating towards urban settlements. Nations are working toward smart city projects to provide a better wellbeing for the inhabitants. Cyber-physical systems are at the core of the smart city setups. They are used in almost every system component within a smart city ecosystem. This paper attempts to discuss the key components and issues involved in transforming conventional cities into smart cities with a special focus on cyber-physical systems in the Indian context. The paper primarily focuses on the infrastructural facilities and technical knowhow to smartly convert classical cities that were built haphazardly due to overpopulation and ill planning into smart cities. It further discusses cyber-physical systems as a core component of smart city setups, highlighting the related security issues. The opportunities for businesses, governments, inhabitants, and other stakeholders in a smart city ecosystem in the Indian context are also discussed. Finally, it highlights the issues and challenges concerning technical, financial, and other social and infrastructural bottlenecks in the way of realizing smart city concepts along with future research directions.
