The focus of algorithmic design is to solve composite problems. Intelligent systems use intellectual concepts like evolutionary computation, artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, and swarm intelligence to process natural intelligence models. Artificial intelligence is used as a part of intelligent systems to perform logic- and case-based reasoning. Systems like mechanical and electrical support systems are operated by utilizing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. These systems cannot accomplish their purpose, provided the control system deals with the reliability of it. In CPSs, dimensions of physical processes are taken by sensors and are processed in cyber subsystems to drive the actuators that affect the physical processors. CPSs are closed-loop systems. The adaptation and the prediction are the properties to be followed by the control strategies that are implemented in cyber subsystems. This chapter explores cyber physical control systems.
