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

其目标是由美国国家科学基金会计算机与信息科学与工程局(CEISE)和美国国防部高级研究计划局(DARPA)信息技术办公室(ITO)共同努力，建立国家混合与嵌入式系统技术实验平台(NEPHEST)，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.用于混合和嵌入式系统研究的实验室和大型实验的硬件和软件组件集成的开放框架。用于实验系统的可复用硬件和软件组件和工具。不断演变的一套挑战问题、参考解决方案以及技术确认和核查的基线。组件、工具、验证结果和文件的国家存储库。

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.
