| Summary: | Although the IT transformation in the 20th century appeared revolutionary, a bigger change is yet to come, exemplified by the emerging cyber-physical computer systems (CPS). In those, the computer systems do not only compute abstract quantities; they are also tightly integrated and interacting with their physical environment, by taking sensor readings and acting on it. Such systems require a rethinking in the usual computing and networking concepts, and given that the computing entities interact with their environment, the timeliness is of increasing importance.
Integration of physical processes and computing is not new. Embedded systems have been since a long time in place to denote systems that combine physical processes with computing. The revolution will come from massively networking embedded computing devices. Such extreme networking poses considerable technical challenges ranging from the (distributed) programming paradigms (languages still lacking temporal semantics, suitable concurrency models and hardware abstractions) to networking protocols with timeliness as a structuring concern, and including systems theory that combines "physical concerns" (control systems, signal processing, etc.) and "computational concerns" (complexity, schedulability, computability, etc.). |
