CPS:VO: Virtual Organization for Cyber-Physical Research (VO-CyPhER)

该NSF奖为CPS虚拟组织提供支持。美国国家科学基金会建立了网络物理系统（CPS）项目，其愿景是为常规构建网络工程系统建立科学和工程基础，其中网络能力深深嵌入所有规模，但仍保持安全、可靠和可靠——“你可以赌上你的生命的系统”。CPS的挑战基本上跨越了每个工程领域。它需要整合许多计算和工程研究学科（计算、网络、控制、人类互动、学习理论，以及机械、化学、生物医学和其他工程学科）的知识和工程原理，以发展一门“新的CPS系统科学”。实现这样一个雄心勃勃的目标是具有挑战性的。CPS“虚拟组织”（CPS- vo）项目的目标是积极建立和支持支撑这一新的研究学科所需的多学科社区，并使CPS的国际和机构间合作成为可能。为了支持CPS-VO，范德比尔特大学将与社区合作制定战略和机制，以便：(i)促进和促进跨广泛机构、项目和学科的CPS研究人员之间的互动和交流；（ii）使CPS研究产生的知识与更广泛的工程和科学界共享，在研究人员和利益相关者之间共享和整合实验工具、平台和模拟器；（iii）促进和促进CPS研究人员与业界之间的合作和信息交流，以及（iv）促进CPS研究方面的国际合作。

This NSF award provides support for a CPS Virtual Organization. The National Science Foundation established the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) program with the vision of developing a scientific and engineering foundation for routinely building cyber-enabled engineered systems in which cyber capability is deeply embedded at all scales, yet which remain safe, secure, and dependable -- "systems you can bet your life on." The CPS challenge spans essentially every engineering domain. It requires the integration of knowledge and engineering principles across many computational and engineering research disciplines (computing, networking, control, human interaction, learning theory, as well as mechanical, chemical, biomedical, and other engineering disciplines) to develop a "new CPS system science." Achieving such an ambitious goal is challenging. The objective of the CPS "virtual organization" (CPS-VO) project is to actively build and support the multidisciplinary community needed to underpin this new research discipline and enable international and interagency collaboration on CPS. In support of the CPS-VO, Vanderbilt University will work with the community to develop strategies and mechanisms to: (i) facilitate and foster interaction and exchange among CPS researchers across a broad range of institutions, programs and disciplines, (ii) enable sharing of knowledge generated by CPS research with the broader engineering and scientific communities, sharing and integrating experimental tools, platforms and simulators among researchers and stakeholders, (iii) facilitate and foster collaboration and information exchange between CPS researchers and industry and (iv) facilitate international collaboration on CPS research.
