Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are an emerging topic worldwide encompassing the next generation of engineered systems. They are the major enabler for smart wearable devices, smart homes, smart cities, Factory of the Future, E-Health  and overall the Industry 4.0.

Cyber-Physical Systems are intended to connect the physical world by sensing the environment to the virtual world  of data analysis and processing.


The summer school will focus on inter-disciplinary subjects covering the development of CPS with a special focus on Industrial Internet of Things.

It will address the main areas of CPS:

  • smart sensors,
  • communication and networking,

All topics will be addressed through lecturers and practical demonstrations, given by internationally  recognized researchers. Use cases will be presented by researchers and industry experts.

A CPS industry exhibition is organized on Tuesday afternoon.

Targeted participants are  Ph.D. and Master students, engineers and researchers worldwide. The attendees have the opportunity (not compulsory) to present their research work during the “CPS in Action” session (5 min pitch demo or video).
