Abstract

The final chapter of this book elaborates on how to apply the understanding gained by the study of the previous chapters to design a simple Cyber-Physical System. The personal experience of the author in the design and management of Cyber-Physical System projects in industry and academia shaped to a considerable degree the insights discussed in this chapter.

“You know you have achieved perfection in design, not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away.”

— Antoine de Saint-Exupery
