Description

The goal of the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) program is to establish the scientific foundations and engineering principles needed to realize cyber-physical systems with capability and dependability far beyond what we are able to achieve today.

Toward these considerations, new concepts need to be devised. Foundations and engineering principles must support a unifying model that enables CPS that are both open and modular. Adequate solutions to these problems will require an integrated perspective of real-time computing, communications, dynamics, and control.

The CPS program therefore:

• takes a coordinated approach that balances theory with experimentation, and systematic advances with revolutionary breakthroughs;
• seeks cross-disciplinary collaborative research that will lead to new fundamental insights;
• encourages empirical validation of new concepts through research prototypes, ranging from component devices to entire systems; and
• aims to identify promising innovations that have the potential of immediate practical applications, supporting transitioning such innovations to practice.
