3. 5/18/2001NEST Pretreat intro3 NEST program Goal: novel approaches to design and implementation of SW for networked embedded information systems enable “fine-grain” fusion of physical and information processes. dependable, RT, distributed, embedded apps on 100-10,000 simple computing nodes, dynamically reconfigured to changing environment Closed loop interaction between physical and information system components –eg. MEMS-based control & health mgmt of platforms, smart structures, coordination of large groups of objects appln independent adaptable middleware for real-time coordination and synthesis

4. 5/18/2001NEST Pretreat intro4 NEST Topic Areas Application Independent Coordination Services –customizable, verified algorithms+code to support time- bounded coordination across NEST applns Time-Bounded Synthesis –theory and technology for time-bounded synthesis services => control sequences, schedules, configs, resource maps,... Service Composition and Adaptation –automated composition of coord service packages Open Experimental Platforms –physical system and software components –related challenge problems and integration experiments »used for affordable evaluation and demonstration of NEST technologies

5. 5/18/2001NEST Pretreat intro5 NEST in a nutshell Two Open Experimental Platforms –Boeing: tight, highly engineered, smart structures –UCB: flexible, low power, wireless, free space,... OEP must include challenge app, so... HW platform SW platform coordination services synthesis services composition services Challenge Application sensors actuators processing storage communication
