Grand Challenges Vision Statement

Abstract

Heterogeneous Safety-Critical Systems As the use of software continues to increase in the systems we rely on for critical functionality - avionics, medicine, finance, communication, etc. - the components in those systems will become more specialized. Take for example sensors, which in previous generations might have been straightforward mechanical or electro-mechanical devices. In the short-term future (approx. 5 years) they will increasingly have onboard computation capabilities to, for example: apply de-noising algorithms, encrypt output, or be remotely controllable. In the longer term (approx. 10-20 years), given increasing computational power (bandwidth from technologies like 5g, more powerful CPUs, larger batteries, etc.) these trends will only accelerate.
