Models and Runtime Environments for Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems consist of heterogeneous mobile execution units which interact with their environment via sensors and actuators. Therefore, a coupling between the digital application and the physical world emerges. Due to this interface, the programmer has to give priority to topics like real-time capability, location and motion awareness, heterogeneity, and distribution.

Classic approaches provide interfaces to the programmer for the abstraction from the distribution of the system. Here the heterogeneity and mobility of the system is hidden from the programmer. However, both properties are essential for cyber-physical systems, as a desired interaction with the physical environment imposes requirements on the capabilities and positions of the execution units.

New programming models shall abstract from the complexity of the location and motion dependent interaction between heterogeneous execution units and their environment. Additionally, they shall grant guarantees for the correct execution of the application. This allows the developer to fully concentrate on the desired system behaviour.
