In today's world, there is a global interest to study systems that can interact with each other and the surrounding with cooperative objectives, because of the introduction of new and cheap computational and communication resources. Such systems are usually referred to as cyber-physical systems (CPS). Almost, everything around us constitutes a cyber-physical system. For instance, traffic networks, a swarm of unmanned vehicles, smart power distribution networks, etc., are some of the recent technological movements towards automation. The philosophy of the cyber-physical systems vertical is to familiarize students with the basic building blocks for the analysis and synthesis of such systems, along with hands-on experiments. The theme of this vertical span through the various core subjects ranging from design, control, and computing to safety and security of cyber-physical systems.
