Shanghai Industrial Technology Research Institute (SITRI) and the IEEE Technical Committee on Cyber-Physical Systems, an IEEE constituency which aims at promoting interdisciplinary research and education in the field of cyber-physical systems (CPS) and oversees all CPS related activities within IEEE, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for ongoing collaboration and cooperation in developing new technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT) market.

IEEE and SITRI define ‘Cyber-Physical Systems’ as all aspects of systems where intelligent feedback and control, connect embedded computing systems with the physical environment, involving data analytics, machine learning, and real-time intelligent control.
