<p>The integration of cyber space, physical space, and social world resources is a fundamental aspect of Cyber-Physical Social Systems (CPSSs). These systems rely on communication, computation, and control infrastructures that are structured into several levels for each domain. These levels encompass a range of resources, including sensors, actuators, computational capabilities, services, and human involvement. The efficient coordination of these resources is vital for the effective functioning of cyber-physical social systems. Positioned as a transformative model for the future of the Internet, the Metaverse is designed to establish a fully immersive, hyper spatiotemporal and self-sustaining virtual realm where people can interact through activities and offering innovative services for gaming, healthcare, education, business, commerce, and social engagements. Developing the necessary technology for this scenario involves viewing the Metaverse as Cyber-Physical Social Systems (CPSSs), which necessitates new software platforms and rigorous standards for mobility, security, safety, privacy, and data management. This vision is propelled by recent advancements in emerging technologies such as virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI). In this paper, we compared the components of the metaverse with CPSSs, and show that the metaverse as a Cyber Physical Social System (CPSS).</p>
