Abstract：
We present a historical account of paths leading to the present interest in cyberphysical systems. We outline several foundational research topics that underlie this area. These include issues in data fusion, real-time communication, clock synchronization, security middleware, hybrid systems and proofs of correctness.

美国工程院院士、IEEE Fellow、美国德州农工大学（Texas A&M University）P. R. Kumar教授是信息论、通信理论和控制理论领域的国际知名专家，在学术界享有极高的声望。Kumar教授发表了多部著作和上百篇论文，他的工作得到了广泛的认可，曾获得瑞士皇家科学院荣誉博士学位、IEEE控制系统领域奖、IEEE通信学会F. W. Ellersick奖、以及ACM SIGMOBILE学会杰出贡献奖等。
P. R. Kumar obtained his B. Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering (Electronics) from I.I.T. Madras in 1973, and the M.S. and D.Sc. degrees in Systems Science and Mathematics from Washington University, St. Louis, in 1975 and 1977, respectively. From 1985-2011 he was a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois. Currently he is at Texas A&M University, where he holds the College of Engineering Chair in Computer Engineering.
Kumar has worked on problems in game theory, adaptive control, stochastic systems, simulated annealing, neural networks, machine learning, queueing networks, manufacturing systems, scheduling, wafer fabrication plants and information theory. His research is currently focused on wireless networks, sensor networks, cyberphysical systems, and the convergence of control, communication and computation.
Kumar is a member of the National Academy of Engineering of the USA, and the Academy of Sciences of the Developing World. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule) in Zurich. He received the IEEE Field Award for Control Systems, the Donald P. Eckman Award of the American Automatic Control Council, the Fred W. Ellersick Prize of the IEEE Communications Society, and the Outstanding Contribution Award of ACM SIGMOBILE. He is a Fellow of IEEE. He was a Guest Chair Professor and Leader of the Guest Chair Professor Group on Wireless Communication and Networking at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He is an Honorary Professor at IIT Hyderabad. He was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus Award from IIT Madras, the Alumni Achievement Award from Washington University in St. Louis, and the Daniel C. Drucker Eminent Faculty Award from the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois.
