CPS and IoT both refer to trends in integrating digital capabilities, including network connectivity, with physical devices and systems. wo models provide the bases for a unified CPS/IoT perspective. A unified components model provides 4 categories for CPS and IoT systems components: logical, physical, transducing, and human. A unified interactions model provides a formal basis for describing the performance of CPS and IoT systems. The unified perspective can be expressed as follows: Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems comprise interacting logical, physical, and human components engineered for function through integrated logic and physics. Three criteria based on a characteristic set of components, capabilities, and functions are proposed for interchangeably labeling a system ‘CPS' or ‘IoT'.
