Principles of Cyber-Physical Systems Design - 2021 (Automation)
Principles of Cyber-Physical Systems Design - 2021 (Automation)
Course Description
This course is designed for bachelor students of engineering specialties and it combine theoretical
aspects with applications to provide an understanding of the fundamentals of cyber-physical system
(CPS) design as well as a sense of the problems posed by complex applications. It presents theories,
design methods, and tools that help handle the growing complexity and heterogeneity of embedded
and cyber-physical systems (CPS).
