Challenges, Promising Solutions and Open Problems of Cyber- Physical Systems

Cyber physical systems(CPS) include a lot of high complexity computing such as physical aspect modeling, dynamic analysis and verification of continuous dynamic property, analysis and verification of real-time property, analysis and verification of spatial property, scheduling and non-functional requirements. The correctness of computing results of cyber physical systems not only meets the time requirements, but also meets the spatial requirement, this make that it is impossible to solve the several difficult computing problems by traditional methods. In this paper, we describe some of the research directions that we are taking toward addressing some of the challenges involved in building cyber physical systems. The ultimate goal is to develop foundations and techniques for building safe and effective cyber physical systems.
