The Fourth Industrial Revolution ( Industry 4.0 ) has kick-started a growing product development trend , which tends to blend electro-mechanics , digital electronics , distributed control , intelligence , the internet , and cloud computing elements into a single integrated system , popularly known as “ Mechatronics Systems ”. Recently , a subset of mechatronic products and systems – characterized by concurrent , dynamic and real-time interactions among subsystems from “ Cyber ” and “ Physical ” domains – are being increasingly called Cyber- Physical Systems ( CPS ). CPS , like Mechatronics systems , need to be designed as “ a whole ”.
Design synthesis and design automation have become difficult problems as existing methods account only for signal and not energy interactions . Model-driven development can overcome design synthesis and end-to-end design automation problems . CPS system design has implications beyond its traditional domains such as smart transportation systems , smart factories , homes , smart buildings and community , smart energy systems and remote monitoring systems . Today it extends even to healthcare , cyber-physical biochip , and wearable devices .
