Abstract
This inaugural editorial aims to provide a comprehensive and in-depth exposition of the profound historical context, core academic value, and long-term vision underlying the establishment of ICCK Transactions on Intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems (hereinafter referred to as “the Journal”). We are standing at the forefront of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, driven by the rapid advancement of cyber-physical integration technologies. As the central engine of this transformative wave, intelligent cyber-physical systems—through the deep and organic fusion of computing, communication, control technologies, and artificial intelligence-are fundamentally reshaping industrial infrastructures, urban systems, and even the overarching operational paradigms of human society. The founding of the Journal is by no means accidental; rather, it is an inevitable response to this epoch-making technological revolution. Our foremost objective is to build an international, high-quality, and authoritative academic platform for this highly interdisciplinary frontier field. The Journal seeks to gather leading global expertise, catalyze breakthroughs in fundamental theories, and accelerate innovation in key technologies as well as their translation into practical applications.
