  23. Cyber-Physical Systems Research • Control theory: (stoch.) HS, non-uniform/stochastic samp., event- vs. time-based hierarachical, composable (cf. Omola), multi-timescale (months to ms) • Delays, Jitter, Loss Rates, BW • Characterization of networks (e.g., time-varying RTT, OWD delays) • Application and end-point adaptability to unpredictable delays • Buffers • Control gains • Time synchronization • Bandwidth allocation, queuing strategies, network partitioning • Control theoretical, blank-slate designs, Jack Stankovic’s *SP protocols • Co-simulation, co-design • Application-oriented, end-to-end QoS (beyond stability to performance) • Distributed, real-time embedded middleware: • Resource constraints vs. inter-operability and protocols • Sensors/transducers (cf. IEEE 1451, LXI Consortium), distributed timing services (IEEE 1588, NTP; John Eidson: Time is a first-class object), data gathering (Lui Sha’s observability), resource management (discovery, “start up”), “certificates”
