The NSF CISE and ENG departments are offering this grant to advance Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) research. This grant aims to foster innovation in the tight integration of computational and physical resources, envisioning future systems with enhanced adaptability, autonomy, and reliability. Research funded will address transformative applications across critical sectors like healthcare, energy, and transportation. The program seeks proposals in three key themes: Foundations, developing new scientific principles; Methods and Tools, bridging cyber and physical elements through novel approaches; and Components, Run-time Substrates, and Systems, focusing on hardware/software for grand challenges. The initiative supports both medium and large multi-disciplinary projects to build a robust CPS research and education community.

| Description: | The term "cyber-physical systems" refers to the tight conjoining of and coordination between computational and physical resources. We envision that the cyber-physical systems of tomorrow will far exceed those of today in terms of adaptability, autonomy, efficiency, functionality, reliability, safety, and usability. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that respond more quickly (e.g., autonomous collision avoidance), are more precise (e.g., robotic surgery and nano-tolerance manufacturing), work in dangerous or inaccessible environments (e.g., autonomous systems for search and rescue, firefighting, and exploration), provide large-scale, distributed coordination (e.g., automated traffic control), are highly efficient (e.g., zero-net energy buildings), augment human capabilities, and enhance societal wellbeing (e.g., assistive technologies and ubiquitous healthcare monitoring and delivery). Congruent with the recommendations in the August 2007 report of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), Leadership Under Challenge: Information Technology R&D in a Competitive World, NSF’s Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Engineering (ENG) are spear-heading the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) program because of its scientific and technological importance as well as its potential impact on grand challenges in a number of sectors critical to U.S. security and competitiveness, including aerospace, automotive, chemical production, civil infrastructure, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, materials and transportation. By abstracting from the particulars of specific applications in these domains, the CPS program aims to reveal cross-cutting fundamental scientific and engineering principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements across all application sectors. The CPS program will also support the development of methods and tools as well as hardware and software components, run-time substrates, systems based upon these principles to expedite and accelerate the realization of cyber-physical systems in a wide range of applications, and associated prototypes and testbeds. Furthermore, the program aims to augment and amplify the recently-funded CPS Virtual Organization http://www.cps-vo.org/ in order to create a research and education community committed to the study and application of cyber-physical system innovations, and to hold regular PI meetings. The CPS program is seeking proposals that address research challenges in three CPS themes: Foundations; Methods and Tools; and Components, Run-time Substrates, and Systems. Foundations research will develop new scientific and engineering principles, algorithms, models, and theories for the analysis and design of cyber-physical systems. Research on Methods and Tools will bridge the gaps between approaches to the cyber and physical elements of systems through innovations such as novel support for multiple views, new programming languages, and algorithms for reasoning about and formally verifying properties of complex integrations of cyber and physical resources. The third CPS theme concerns new hardware and software Components, Run-time Substrates (infrastructure and platforms), and (engineered) Systems motivated by grand challenge applications. In all CPS themes, concepts should be developed that contribute to new Cyber-Physical Systems science. These concepts may include fault tolerance, availability, reliability, reconfigurability, and cybersecurity aspects of certifiably-dependable CPS.Two types of research and education projects will be considered:Medium Projects span one or more CPS themes and include two or more PIs and a research team of students and/or postdocs. Funding for Medium Projects will be provided at levels ranging from $300,000/year to $500,000/year and durations of three to four years.Large Projects are multi-investigator and multi-university projects involving teams of researchers and their students and/or postdocs representing multiple disciplines in computer science, engineering, and physical application domains, who together address a coherent set of research issues that either cut across multiple CPS themes or that explore in great depth a particular theme. Funding will be provided at levels up to $1,000,000/year for up to five years. A more complete description of the CPS program is provided in Section II. Program Description of this solicitation. |
