Cyber-Physical

A term used to refer to devices that offer a computational means to control something in the physical world. In the past these might have been referred to as embedded systems, but the category of cyber-physical seems to focus more on the physical world results rather than the computational aspects. See Internet of Things (IoT).

Microsoft’s Object Linking and Embedding technology designed to let applications share functionality through live data exchange and embedded data. Embedded objects are packaged statically within the source application, called the “client;” linked objects launch the “server” applications when instructed by the client application. Linking is the capability to call a program; embedding places data in a foreign program.
