INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)‐BASED CYBER–PHYSICAL FRAMEWORKS FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND MEDICINE

The term Internet of Things (loT) is becoming popular in the context of the ongoing IT revolution which has created a greater awareness of emerging and smart technologies as well as phenomenal interest in IT‐based products in the world community. A cyber‐physical system (CPS) can be viewed as an advanced collaborative collection of both software and physical entities which share data, information, and knowledge to achieve a function. The role of the next internet under development in the United States, the European Union (EU), and other countries ushers in the next revolution in such innovative cyber activities where the physical location of experts and users as well as software and physical resources is no longer an issue. Today, using cloud technologies and thin clients such as smartphones and smart watches, the potential of using such loT principles and technologies for a range of domains including advanced manufacturing and medicine is very high.
