An Embedded Application Regarded as a Cyber-Physical System

This paper exemplifies principles of embedded system design as a frame of a dedicated Cyber-Physical System. After reviewing basic principles of Cyber-Physical Systems as a novel approach to modeling and design in this domain, attention is focused on a real-world solution of an optoelectronic pressure sensor offering real-world demonstration of that approach. The contribution stresses those features that distinguish the real project from a demonstration case study while suggests not only to merge computing and networking technologies, but also effectively embed them in physical processes.
