Abstract

The provision of systems that join the information technologies with the physical world has been one of the most popular issues in research in the last fifteen years. Nevertheless, the complexity associated with these systems prevented many authors from providing a theoretical formalization. Even it is difficult to find a consensus name or a definition for this new type of systems. Therefore, in this work we propose a theoretical and technical formalization for these solutions, which includes a name at the forefront of research: smart adaptable cyber-physical systems (SACPS). We also present a complete definition for the SACPS, and explain the elements and subsystem interaction.
