Principles and Foundations for Fractionated Networked Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

We propose to explore a new paradigm for design of high-assurance Networked Cyber-Physical Systems based on the notion of software fractionation with distributed control and optimization aiming at the effective use of resources. The idea of software fractionation is inspired by and complementary to hardware fractionation, which has been proposed for mission-critical space systems. In our approach, software is fractionated by design even beyond the distributed nature of underlying system, with distributed knowledge sharing as the underlying model. In this report we briefly summarize our research on foundations for distributed dataflow and control of fractionated systems as well as our work on building an NCPS testbed at SRI.
