This paper is concerned with the study of the global emerging behavior in complex networks where each node can be modeled as a cyber-physical system. We recast the problem of characterizing the behavior of such systems as a stability problem and give two technical results to assess this property. We then illustrate the effectiveness of our approach by considering two testbed examples arising in applications where networks, arising from Internet of Things applications, need to be designed so as to fulfill a given task.
