SGER- Exploring the Nature and Scope of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)

该SGER奖支持一项研究，该研究将有助于NSF计算机和网络系统部门正在开发的新的网络物理系统(CPS)愿景。CPS研究的目标是新的科学和工程方法，将未来工程系统的相互作用的网络元素和物理元素结合在一起。CPS寻求新的设计原则和系统技术，这些设计原则和系统技术可以常规地产生高信心的物理和工程系统。本研究探讨了CPS的一个方面，即对资源虚拟化和对象化的研究，这是CPS体系结构原则和虚拟化概念的组成部分。这项研究还包括2006年10月16日至17日在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校举行的研究界研讨会。研讨会的目的是为讨论未来网络物理系统的挑战和机遇提供一个论坛，并召集一个跨越相关分学科的社区，以参与研究需求评估和规划。

This SGER award supports a study that will contribute to a new Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) vision being developed in NSF's Computer and Network Systems division. The goal of CPS research is new science and engineering methodologies that integrate the interacting cyber and physical elements of future engineered systems. CPS seeks new design principles and systems technology that can routinely yield high-confidence physical and engineered systems. This study explores one aspect of CPS, research in resource virtualization and objectization, a component of the architectural principles and virtualization concepts for CPS. The study also includes a research community workshop, held at the University of Texas, Austin, October 16-17, 2006. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of future cyber-physical systems challenges and opportunities, and to draw together a community spanning relevant subdisciplines to engage in research needs assessment and planning.
