National Experimental Platform for Hybrid & Embedded Systems Technology (NEPHEST)

国家科学基金会计算机与信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）和美国国防高级研究计划局（DARPA）信息技术办公室（ITO）共同致力于建立一个混合与嵌入式系统技术国家实验平台（NEPHEST），其目标是为混合与嵌入式系统研究提供一个通用的实验基础设施。 NEPHEST将包括以下主要组成部分：1。一个开放的框架，用于集成混合和嵌入式系统研究的实验室和大规模实验的硬件和软件组件.可重复使用的硬件和软件组件以及实验系统的工具。一套不断发展的挑战性问题、参考解决方案和基线，用于技术的确认和验证。4.组件、工具、核查结果和文件的国家储存库。

The objective is the joint effort of the National Science Foundation Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Information Technology Office (ITO) to establish a National Experimental Platform for Hybrid and Embedded Systems Technology (NEPHEST).The Goal of NEPHEST is to provide a common experimental infrastructure for hybrid and embedded systems research. NEPHEST will include the following major components:1. An open framework for integrating hardware and software components of both laboratory and large-scale experiments for hybrid and embedded systems research.2. Reusable hardware and software components and tools for experimental systems.3. An evolving suite of challenge problems, reference solutions, and baselines for validation and verification of technologies.4. A National Repository of components, tools, verification results and documents.
