Abstract: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are being increasingly deployed in critical infrastructures such as electric- power, water, transportation, and other networks. These deployments are facilitating real-time monitoring and control by exploiting the advances in wireless sensor-actuator networks, the internet of “everything”, data-driven analytics, and machine-to-machine interfaces. CPS operations depend on the synergy of com- putational and physical components. In addition, in many cases, CPS also interact with human decision makers.
