Abstract
Mobile cyber-physical systems (CPS) that adopt the advantages and extend the application domains of CPS have become increasingly popular in recent years. For example, mobile CPS could be a kind of foundation techniques which support the development of vehicular networking systems, e.g., improving security and privacy of users in the dynamic environments of vehicular networks. In this paper, we first distinguish mobile CPS from traditional CPS. Then, we introduce three emerging application areas of mobile CPS, which are vehicular networking systems, healthcare systems, and mobile education. After that, we discuss four main research challenges of mobile CPS regarding security, energy consumption, mobile dynamic environment, and system stability. Also, we consider the corresponding techniques which may address these challenges, and analyze the inter-relations among them. Finally, we outline the possible research directions and applications of mobile CPS in the future.
