Cyber-Physical Systems Virtual Organization: CPS Community and the Data Revolution

网络物理系统虚拟组织(CPS-VO)下一阶段的目标是继续支持和更新CPS-VO基础设施，同时拥抱数据革命。该项目将扩大CPS-VO传播和收集现有CPS研究项目的数据、模型和结果的能力。这将增加这些项目的影响，使其研究更容易为其他人所用，并提供一种可以证明可重复性和可复制性问题的手段。研究界内的外联活动包括收集研究项目成果的讲习班，以及使CPS研究人员能够解决可重复性和再现性问题的高级教程。该项目将使过去十年CPS研究工具、实验验证数据集和教育材料的数百名作者能够适当地收集、存档并使其结果在虚拟组织内广泛可用。该项目将为来自代表性不足群体的本科生提供研究指导和指导机会。这些本科生将接受CPS数据结果重现性技术方面的培训，为他们在工业或学术界的职业生涯做好准备。CPS-VO的这一新阶段应解决的智力挑战包括：(1)加快CPS研究的实验验证结果被其他研究人员利用的速度，无论是通过物理系统实验还是设计工作室；(2)在教育和研究团体拥抱的虚拟时代使用和复制活跃资源和CPS设计工作室；(3)扩大活跃资源，包括数据和数据分析资源，使CPS研究人员能够拥抱数据革命；(4)创建高度可配置的服务捆绑包，以最大限度地减少在CPS-VO平台上发布工具、设计室、数据和模型的时间投入；以及(5)在CPS-VO模块的多个规模上提供用例演示，加快资源的采用速度。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The goal of this next phase of the Cyber-Physical Systems Virtual Organization (CPS-VO) is to continue to support and renew the CPS-VO infrastructure, while embracing the data revolution. The project will expand the CPS-VO's capacity to disseminate and collect data, models, and results from existing CPS research projects. This will increase the impact of those projects by making their research more readily accessible to others, as well as providing a means by which issues of repeatability and replicability can be demonstrated. Outreach activities within the research community include workshops to gather research project results, and advanced tutorials that enable CPS researchers to address issues of repeatability and reproducibility. The project will empower the hundreds of authors of tools, experimental validation data sets and education material from the last decade of CPS research to appropriately capture, archive, and make their results broadly accessible from within the Virtual Organization. The project will provide research supervision and mentoring opportunities to undergraduates from underrepresented groups. These undergraduates will be trained in techniques for reproducibility of CPS data results, preparing them for a career in industry or academia.Intellectual Challenges addressed by this new phase of the CPS-VO include: (1) accelerating the pace at which the results of experimental validation of CPS research can be leveraged by other researchers, whether through physical system experiments or design studios; (2) using and replicating active resources and CPS design studios in the virtual era that is embraced by education and research groups; (3) expanding active resources to include data and data analysis resources, empowering CPS researchers to embrace the data revolution; (4) creating highly configurable service bundles that minimize the time investment for publishing tools, design studios, data and models on the CPS-VO platform; and (5) providing use case demonstrations at multiple scales of the CPS-VO modules, accelerating the pace at which adoption of the resources can occur.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
