In the last two decades we been witnessing the advancement of many applications based on the notion of embedded systems. However embedded systems have contributed only to a small-scale and standalone applications. With these systems electronic engineers design a chip board for accommodating such embedded systems following the principle of throwing enough mud at the wall and some of it will stick. Actually the recent advances in computing and communication technologies provided the wide adoption of internet-connected devices are pulling the concept of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) as the pervasive bridge between the real world (of people, equipment's and embedded systems) and information (the cyber world) technologies.
