Abstract

The evolving Cyber-Physical Systems technology advances the big data analytics and processing. The chapter discusses the topics of Big Data which are required for Cyber-Physical Systems across all data streams including the heterogeneous data resource integration. The challenges such as integration of data generated from multiple sources into cyber-physical systems, big data for conventional databases and offline processing, scalability are further considered. The control and management of big data is aided by the architecture of cyber-physical system with cyber layer, physical layer and communication layer is designed which not only integrates but also helps cyber-physical system in decision making. The case study that aids big data processing and analytics in cyber-physical system is stated.

Keywords: Cyber-Physical systems, big data analytics and processing, Internet of Things, data mining

2.1 Introduction

The rapid growth in things or devices in particular sensors and actuators made the development to control the smart physical things, smart objects and digital technologies such as machines in smart manufacturing and structures in smart cities, etc. possible. The communication technologies and physical devices are merged to generate systems that are effective, productive, safe called intelligent ...
