Dear Walid,

Thank you for raising this important question. Both CPS and IoT are holistic visions for the outlook for computing and communication in tomorrow's world. They come from different research communities, though, and so they have different emphasis. CPS has roots in control, computer science, real-time systems, and sensor networks. IoT has roots in communication networks and wireless communication. This tends to influence the focus of research in conferences that highlight the particular topic. CPS emphasizes hybrids systems and formal verfication of dynamical systems. IoT emphasizes communication protocols. Both also consider issues of privacy and security, among many others.

This description is for the research areas under those names. When one says CPS, it is best to consult Lee and Seshia for origins of the term (due to Helen Gill). IoT is a more general term and I am not aware of a standard reference for it.

Personally, I think it would be very good if the two communities interact more, since the future is likely tobe shaped by work in both.

Kind regards,

Walid.

Dear, The main difference is all IoT devices are Cyber-Physical Systems, but CPSs are not necessarily connected to the Internet and thus, not necessarily IoT devices.

CPS is another name of any embedded system that use output of different connected sensor to change the output of a system. If the sensors are distributed and thier data are used to modify the output of other systems or other CPS they are called IoT. Things in IoT may be anything for example a human who can upload data to change the output of other systems. Cyber physical social systems are more near to IoT than CPS. In the end, the differences are hard to be seen.

Both IoT and CPS are referring to the same fact that virtual and physical worlds are getting connected together. CPS is also known in manufacturing and industrial systems, but IoT is more general.

Both IOT and CPS have physical aspect as well as cyber aspect. These may be referred as smart systems. IOT emphasizes on connectivity while CPS emphasizes on embedded part.

Interesting debate. Both IOT and CPS have physical aspect as well as cyber aspect. These may be referred as smart systems. IOT emphasizes on connectivity while CPS emphasizes on embedded part.
