Abstract
Most research directions in the context of cyber-physical systems have focused on developing computing foundations for designing, analyzing, and reasoning about systems being constructed from scratch. However, an equally important issue is to develop sound methods for transforming existing real-time embedded systems to ones that conform with standards of modern cyber-physical systems. This essay proposes several research directions for achieving such transformation techniques.

Implementation of Hard Real-Time Embedded Control Systems
Although the domain of hard real-time systems has been thoroughly elaborated in the academic sphere, embedded computer control systems –- being an important component in mechatronic designs –- are seldom dealt with consistently. Often, off-the-shelf ...
