Cyber-Physical Systems

7.1 Introduction
Physical processes are made up of a combination of different processes that run in parallel with
each other. e job of measuring and controlling these processes by orchestrating actions that
influence the processes is a very important task that is performed by an embedded system. Models
are a major stepping stone in the development of cyber-physical systems (CPSs), and there are sev-
eral advantages to working with models. To start, models can be declared to be deterministic. In
other words, the output of the model will always be t ...
