Cyber-Physical System Software for HCMDSS

Abstract

The state of the art in operating systems and middleware is currently insufficient, and must be evolved, to meet the needs of envisioned next-generation cyber-physical systems, in which interactions among system components and the physical world are (1) ubiquitous, (2) domain-specific, (3) heterogeneous, and (4) semantically rich. This position paper offers a vision for how that evolution can be achieved, and describes several research challenges that will need to be addressed in order to do so.
