Foreword for ICCPS’24 Special Issue

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) research continues to advance the integration of computation, communication, and control into safety-critical and large-scale infrastructures. The ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS), held as part of CPS-IoT Week, has long been a premier venue for disseminating these advances and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue. This special issue contains a selection of original papers, which extend earlier results presented at the 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS) that took place in Hong Kong from May 13–16, 2024, as part of CPS-IoT Week 2024. They cover different aspects of CPS research, reflecting both methodological rigor and practical impact.
