Large-Impact Projects • The Do. D FCS program has inserted ISIS modeling and analysis tools for architecture exploration and from FY 06 to systems integration. • NEST Shooter Location + Self Localization – Transitioned to Raytheon – Breakthrough in radio interferometric ranging – Widely cited results in protocols, systems and theory • Boeing has licensed Fault-Adaptive Control Technology software for use on their J-UCAS Program, in the X-45 C vehicle • USMC transitioning ISIS research project results into USMC tactical aviation squadrons • Middleware and MIC tools – ARMS DARPA program: DDX • TRUST NSF Science and Technology Center Janos Sztipanovits 8
Top 6 *New* Awards in 2005 • TRUST S&TC (NSF) (Partners: UCBerkeley/Cornell/Stanford/CMU) • Mobile Wireless Sensor Network for Acoustic Battlespace Mapping (DARPA) (Partner: Sarnoff 18 month) • Systems Biology Tool Suite (DARPA) • Criticality Sensitive Coordination (DARPA) (Partners: ISI/Kestrel) • Joint Battlespace Infosphere (AFRL) (Partners: Cornell/CMU) • Future Combat Systems (Boeing) Janos Sztipanovits 9
TRUST Idea Embedded real-time systems will become ever increasingly important as more systems of system architectures are fielded in the GIG • Computing and networking is increasingly used as universal system integrator (embedded systems and software) • This leads to the emergence of a System’s Industry Embedded computing increasingly becoming the primary source of innovation in cars • Cybersecurity has become a fundamental systems Issue • The core focus of TRUST is Secure System Design Sensor networks, like VU-s Shooter Location System are a coming wave of new networked embedded systems Janos Sztipanovits 10
Examples for Industry Interactions u IR&D projects done for companies (Boeing, Raytheon, GM, Lockheed and others) u CR&D projects done jointly with companies (Boeing, Raytheon, Co. SYS, Sarnoff, . . ) for Government (DARPA, NASA) u Product support for ISIS tools (Boeing JUCAS/IVHM – Modeling tool + on-board software) u ESCHER Institute (2003) for tool maturation (www. escherinstitute. org) u MIC PSIG at OMG (www. omg. org/mic) Janos Sztipanovits 11
Teaching and Training u Industrial: – Escher Institute; training programs for major end-user companies u Academic: – MIC course (6 th year at VU, 2 nd at Berkeley Students design DSML-s and model-based generators using MIC tools) – Summer program for undergraduates (SIPHER at VU, SUPERB at Berkeley) – Joint Summer School starts in 2006 with Berkeley, Stanford, CMU and Cornell on trusted system design – Migrating MIC to undergraduate level is in progress Janos Sztipanovits 12
