Welcome to the pages of the scientific network "Dependable Cyber Physical Systems" (DCPS).

DCPS is a funded project of the DAAD-Program „Strategic Partnerships and Thematic Networks“ (2013-2016).

What are CPS?

Cyber Physical Systems are large systems and netwoks located in the „real world“ which work under the control of multiple computer-based sub-systems.

Examples:

• electric power grids
• air-traffic control
• rail-traffic control
• street street/highway traffic management  
• wireless sensor networks, e.g. for environmental control

In all these applications, computers, which work without a notion of real time „cyber space“ are used to monitor and control other systems with strong requirements to guarantee a certain function within strict time limits.

This project DCPS is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), financed by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).
