Cyber-Physical Systems Virtual Organization: Active Resources

网络物理系统虚拟组织（CPS- vo）由美国国家科学基金会于2010年成立，旨在：(i)促进和促进CPS pi及其团队之间的互动和交流；（ii）使工程项目产生的文物和知识能与更广泛的工程界和科学界分享；以及（iii）促进和促进CPS研究人员与业界之间的合作和信息交流。在过去的五年中，CPS- vo已成为美国CPS社区的焦点，并在催化全球CPS研究方面发挥了重要作用。CPS-VO门户作为一个中央信息库，并作为一个协作平台，为快速增长的研究社区。它是大约150个特殊兴趣小组的家园，拥有超过8,000名成员，包括超过12,000个网页和超过18,000个文件，捕获了CPS前8年的历史。该提案设想了CPS-VO将如何在未来几年内转变为一种资源，成为“行动的目的地”，而不是存储库和协作能力。在本提案中，我们提出了CPS- vo的下一阶段发展：(1)将门户从被动的信息存储库和协作平台转变为作为CPS研究工具的主动资源；(2)作为研究社区出现的开源CPS工具和模型的集成平台；(3)使门户成为CPS教育的主动资源。活动资源封装了CPS-VO的新功能。研究团队可以在三个不同的层面上对活动资源做出贡献：(a)端到端的设计和仿真工具链和测试平台，包括模型存储库、工具和基于web的用户界面来访问资源，(b)可以集成到设计流中的单个工具，以及(c)集成到开放存储库中的模型和代码。该提案将在宾夕法尼亚大学无人机设计工作室的基础上，通过在头两年举办一系列学生竞赛，促进CPS社区的发展，该竞赛将允许学生和研究人员研究四旋翼的物理设计、动力学和控制，这是范德比尔特大学的多模型仿真系统，可促进嵌入式软件的虚拟集成，用于控制、估计、规划和协调，多微型飞行器的动态飞行。此外，中央资讯系统管理处亦会向社会推广服务，以识别新出现的资讯系统管理处需求，并透过重新设计面向用户的入门网站和整合新的资讯管理技术，提供更佳的用户体验。

The Cyber-Physical Systems Virtual Organization (CPS-VO) was founded by NSF in 2010 to: (i)facilitate and foster interaction and exchanges among CPS PIs and their teams; (ii) enable sharing of artifacts and knowledge generated by the projects with the broader engineering and scientific communities; and (iii) facilitate and foster collaboration and information exchange between CPS researchers and industry. During the last five years, the CPS-VO has become the focal point of the CPS community in the US and it has played a significant role in catalyzing CPS research world-wide. The CPS-VO Portal serves as a central information repository and as a collaboration platform for the rapidly growing research community. It is the home for ~150 special interest groups, reaches over 8,000 members, and includes over 12,000 webpages and over 18,000 files capturing the first 8 years of CPS history. This proposal looks to envision how the CPS-VO will be transformed over the next years into an resource which becomes a "destination for doing" rather than a repository and collaboration capability. In this proposal we address the next phase of development of the CPS-VO: (1) changing the Portal from being a passive information repository and collaboration platform to becoming an active resource as research tool for CPS, (2) serving as an integration platform for open source CPS tools and models emerging from the research community and (3) making the Portal an active resource for CPS education. Active Resources encapsulate the new capabilities of the CPS-VO. Research teams may contribute to Active Resources on three different levels: (a) end-to-end design and simulation tool chains and test beds including model repositories, tools and web-based user interfaces to access resources, (b) individual tools that can be integrated into design flows, and (c) models and code integrated into open repositories. The proposal will spur CPS community growth through conducting series of student competitions to be held in the first two years building on unmanned air vehicle design studio from UPenn that will allow students and researchers to study the physical design, dynamics and control of quad rotors, a multi-model simulation system from Vanderbilt facilitating the virtual integration of embedded software for control, estimation, planning, and coordinated, dynamic flight of multiple micro air vehicles. In addition, the CPS VO will extend outreach to the community to identify new and emerging VO needs and provide enhanced user experience through redesign of the user facing portal and integration of new information management technologies.
