Abstract:

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are a new generation of systems that involves engineered computing and communicating systems interfacing the physical world, often interacting with a highly uncertain and adverse environment, including humans and other CPS. Flawless integration of these systems still faces various challenges, e.g., interoperability, decentralization, trust, privacy, and security. Thanks to its salient features, Blockchain is a promising technology that could efficiently address these challenges. This paper provides insights and explores the opportunities and challenges of incorporating CPS and Blockchain technology. As a propitious industrial application, this paper highlights blockchain-based CPS solutions for Supply Chain Management (SCM). We present opportunities, established projects, and some use cases. Finally, we point out some open research issues and outline future research directions.
