A Review on Cyber-Physical Systems: Models and Architectures

The increasing proliferation of Cyber-Physical Systems
(CPS) in industry and academia bring researchers to work
on CPS architectures and models seeking for enhancing the
performance and gaining the full potential of the system. This
work aims to provide a holistic view of the initiatives done during
the last five years in modeling and designing CPS. We define four
major classes of CPS covering Smart Grid, Smart Healthcare,
Smart Manufacturing, and Smart City. We also provide a review
of the recent developed architectures and models for each class.
Based on the surveyed literature, we identified many open issues
and we suggested possible future research directions.
