3 Addressing the Challenges agendacps: challenges! agendacps identifies numerous challenges scientific, technological social economical, political EIT ICT Labs: response? Obviously, we cannot already provide solutions But we do have suitable mechanisms to support various ways of addressing the challenges to foster the development of exploitable results and accelerate their transformation into marketable solutions

model achieve high leverage of partners projects, knowledge

4 Strategy of EIT ICT Labs Focus on broader and faster industrialization of research results Carrier / Catalyst model achieve high leverage of partners projects, knowledge Knowledge Triangle integrate research, education, business activities

5 CPS in EIT ICT Labs Action Line CPS Status currently in its start-up phase planning of future activities take guidance from agendacps results Envisaged activity areas domain models and requirements project landscaping and initiation test-beds for remote testing & evaluation labs for real-world user experience information and communication platform

6 Knowledge Community Knowledge Community Expert network facilitate forming consortia Catalyse Carriers project landscaping fit gap analysis initiation of new research projects Domain knowledge domain modelling requirements elicitation

7 Large-scale test beds Performance evaluation of CPS solutions is crucial esp. in critical infrastructure settings development of testing infrastructure requires significant effort Test-beds & Testing Platforms e.g., sensing and acting, communication infrastructures towards federation of individual test-beds sharing of testing resources within the network provide remote test-bed capabilities cross-validation of experiments identification of safety-critical issues

8 Communication infrastructures requirements and testing Several challenges related to communication, e.g. technologically: efficient and reliable communication infrastructure platforms and standards, provision for interoperability systems engineering: integrated system & architecture models interoperable reference architectures comm. infrastructure testing gather, formalise and consolidate requirements e.g. data rates, environmental influences, sustainability evaluation of existing infrastructures analyse feasibility for CPS applications

9 Experience and Living Labs CPS are socio-technical systems social challenges, esp. issues of acceptance, experienced quality of interaction, expected behaviour & control new engineering strategies required: participatory analysis and design Experience & Living Labs test and modify CPS product and service designs with real users and use contexts e.g., test for adaptability, learning user s intentions, fault tolerance, manageability make individual labs available within the network virtual experimentation and co-simulation

10 Education activities Development of education material Training programmes education activities courses at partner universities, summer schools development of curricula master, PhD programmes

life-cycle of CP systems Mission for CPS in EIT ICT Labs Utilize network of committed partners and employ specific

11 Summary and Outlook CPS Systems Engineering Vision 20x0 Cyber-Physical Systems development and innovation is enabled on the basis of scientifically fully understood systems engineering mastering the complexity management of complete life-cycle of CP systems Mission for CPS in EIT ICT Labs Utilize network of committed partners and employ specific catalysts to support efforts towards developing the scientific understanding generate exploitable results foster innovation in CPS
