  3. DARPA 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 applns 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 WEBS Retreat
