NSF Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems
NSF Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems

PROGRAM | SPONSORS | ORGANIZERS
The research initiative on Cyber-Physical Systems seeks new scientific foundations and technologies to enable the rapid and reliable development and integration of computer- and information-centric physical and engineered systems. The goal of the initiative is to usher in a new generation of engineered systems that are highly dependable, efficiently produced, and capable of advanced performance in information, computation, communication, and control.
Applications for cyber-physical systems can be found in health care (assisted living, bionics, wearable devices, …), transportation and automotive networks, aerospace and avionics, automated manufacturing, blackout-free electricity generation and distribution, optimization of energy consumption in buildings and vehicles, critical infrastructure monitoring, disaster response, efficient agriculture, environmental science, and personal fitness. Sensing and manipulation of the physical world occurs locally, while control and observability are enabled safely, securely, reliably and in real-time across a virtual network. This capability is referred to as “Globally Virtual, Locally Physical”.
An NSF Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems was held on October 16 and 17 in Austin, Texas. Position papers have been received. The workshop slides can be seen at Presentations.

Keynote Presentation: Asking the Four Questions that Define the Cyber-Bio Interface The cyber-bio interface can be defined by answers to four fundamentally symmetrical questions.
Examples from the research program of the relatively newly anointed “synthetic biology” which has come to dominate thinking about question 1, will be briefly discussed. We will argue that solutions to question 2 have not yet lived up to expectations. Research on question 3 is emerging and has found a focus in many nano-bio programs and medical devices and surveillance programs. We will pay special attention to question 4 where new results will be discussed and a more complete research agenda will be suggested. |
