ABSTRACT

The previous chapters present two important application areas of CPS. In fact, there are many emerging CPS applications to be considered on such platforms, e.g., crowd computing, mobile social networking applications, locationbased services, sensory-based applications, etc. Realization of these applications brings many constraints for researchers and developers like task offloading to reduce energy consumption on a device and execution time, communication bandwidth, security and privacy, etc. In this chapter, we name some

four ucation, office automation, healthcare, and mission-critical applications.
