7.1 Introduction

Recent technologies, e.g., “cloud computing” (CC) [1], “cyber‐physical systems” (CPSs) [2], “artificial intelligence” (AI) [3], robotics [4, 5], and blockchain [3–6] have been revolutionizing all realms [7, 8], integrating data treatment, connectivity, storage, and physical methods/worlds. The universe and its processes embrace interconnected computational entities that work together as a CPS [1–8]. Albeit CPSs closely relate to the “Internet ...
