Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) have the promise of presenting the next evolution in computing with potential applications that include aerospace, transportation, robotics, and various automation systems. These applications motivate advances in the different sub-fields of CPS (e.g. mobile computing and communication, control, and vision). However, deploying and testing complete CPSs is known to be...

Grid computing has attracted worldwide attention in a variety of applications ranging from physics, chemistry, environment, aerospace and healthcare. Great efforts, resources and fundings have been put into national, regional and international initiatives in grid infrastructure, grid core technologies and grid applications. The integration of Grid and Healthcare has formed an exciting and speci...

Recent advances in computing power and speed allow designers to simulate thousands, if not millions, of design alternatives more cheaply and quickly than ever before. These advancements provide new opportunities to revolutionize trade space exploration for complex dynamic systems in the aerospace industry, among others. In this paper, we demonstrate our multi-dimensional data visualization soft...

Time-triggered (TT) distributed real-time computing systems are moving into the mainstream for the implementation of safety-critical applications in the aerospace and automotive sectors. This paper introduces the basic principles of a time-triggered real-time computing system, and elaborates on the benefits that can be gained from the availability of a global time base in general, and in specif...

We propose to apply novel pervasive computing technologies to revolutionize manufacturing of extremely complex products such as commercial and defense aerospace systems. Such manufacturing systems consist of a collection of extensive manual and automated data, participation of many specialized personnel and use of distributed product data repositories. These complex, low volume products have te...

The combination of Semantic Web and Grid technologies and architectures eases the development of applications that share heterogeneous resources (data and computing elements) that belong to several organisations. The Aerospace domain has an extensive and heterogeneous network of facilities and institutions, with a strong need to share both data and computational resources for complex processing...

1 Paul Hollow is a Research Student within the DCSC at York funded by EPSRC with a CASE award from BAE SYSTEMS. Abstract. The aerospace industry has been investigating integrated modular avionics (IMA) for some years. IMA offers greater flexibility in the use of computing resources by reconfiguring the software to employ different processors and communications, in order to recover from failure ...
