NSERC CREATE in Product-Line Engineering for Cyber-physical Systems

网络物理系统正在渗透我们生活的方方面面，并将改变我们与物理世界的互动方式。这些系统将使自动驾驶汽车、更安全和更清洁的飞机、智能可再生能源系统、智能家居和新型医疗设备成为可能。下一代这样的系统将比今天的系统更加无处不在、互联、定制和异构。设计此类系统的能力对于加拿大的技术领先地位和国际竞争力至关重要，包括汽车，航空航天，可再生能源和资源勘探部门。基于模型的产品线工程是一个关键技术，以克服这种系统的复杂性，允许虚拟原型和衍生这样的系统从共同的平台。

Cyber-physical systems are penetrating every aspect of our lives and will transform how we interact with the physical world. These systems will enable self-driving cars, safer and cleaner airplanes, smart renewable energy systems, intelligent homes, and new types of medical devices. The next generation of such systems will be even more ubiquitous, interconnected, tailored, and heterogeneous than today's systems. The ability to engineer such systems is critical to Canada's technological leadership and international competitiveness, including automotive, aerospace, renewable energy, and resource-exploration sectors. Model-based product-line engineering is a key technology to conquer the complexities of such systems by allowing virtual prototyping and derivation of such systems from common platforms.
