Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) revolutionize various application domains withintegration and interoperability of networking, computing systems, andmechanical devices. Due to its scale and variety, CPS faces a number ofchallenges and opens up a few research questions in terms of management,fault-tolerance, and scalability. We propose a software-defined approachinspired by Software-Defined Networking (SDN), to address the challenges for awider CPS adoption. We thus design a middleware architecture for the correctand resilient operation of CPS, to manage and coordinate the interactingdevices centrally in the cyberspace whilst not sacrificing the functionalityand performance benefits inherent to a distributed execution.
