3 Summary Cyber-physical Systems Examples of CPS are cars that can drive without a driver or robots that operate a manufacturing line Future CPS help solve key societal challenges, such as the ageing population and limited resources Team of 14 partners from 6 countries CPS action line was started in 2012 and focused on building a strong community Target for 2013: first CPS service and application pilots and one startup created

4 Introduction

5 What are Cyber Physical Systems? The physical world merging with the virtual leading to an Internet of things, data and services Embedded systems, using sensors, monitor and collect data from physical processes, like steering of a vehicle a production line human health functions energy consumption The systems are networked making data globally available Software applications can directly interact with events in the physical world, e. g. in autonomous driving, intelligent manufacturing, or smart health and energy systems

6 Situation & Background Embedded hardware and software systems crucially expand the functionality and competitiveness of vehicles, aircraft, medical equipment, production plants and household appliances. Connecting these systems to a virtual environment of globally networked services and information systems opens completely new areas of innovation and novel business platforms. Cyber Physical Systems have the potential of becoming a disruptive technology, are multidisciplinary and transcend classical industry sectors Future CPS will contribute to safety, efficiency, comfort and human health, and help solving key challenges of our society, such as the ageing population, limited resources, mobility, or the shift towards renewable energies.

7 Partners in the action line CPS

8 Key Objectives To support transforming the governance of the complete life-cycle of cyber-physical systems into a science-based engineering discipline To support the development of open and standardized architectures, ICT infrastructures, and pan-european platforms for open innovation and business incubation in CPS To foster the transitioning of specific R&D results into solutions for CPS products and services To create and implement education programmes to proliferate knowledge of cyber-physical systems in academia and industry.

9 Portfolio of Activities

10 Overview of activities Build-up of a strong CPS community of partners within EIT ICT Labs CPS-specific extension of sensornet testbeds for the development, testing and evaluation of CPS applications Expansion plans for 2013: Methods and tools addressing the engineering of complex CPS Extension of test-bed support for CPS applications Demonstrator for water-cycle management Reference architecture for medical CPS applications CPS summer school

11 Results & Impact

12 Results - expected outcome 2013 Enhanced test-bed support for CPS application development in two large-scale test-beds provided by EIT ICT Labs partners. Innovation platform to develop a standardised framework for crossindustrial and multi-disciplinary CPS engineering Pilots and economic evaluation of CPS applications in the sensor networks and medical domains Major educational contribution provided by the CPS summer school.

13 Evaluation & Evidence

14 Evaluation & Evidence Key Performance Indicators by participants contributing to CPS workshops 14 partners from all 6 EIT ICT Labs nodes involved in new activity proposals accepted for 2013 More than 100 experiments and tests in test-bed, 16 publications with data from test-bed Key Performance Indicators 2013 goals: 3 new products and services to be launched into the market 1 new company to be created 350 downloads of EIT ICT Labs originated open source software 80 participants at new CPS summer school

15 Other material CPS position paper by the German National Academy of Science and Engineering acatech

16 Outlook - next steps

17 Outlook - next steps Expansion new markets/products Build phase 1 year Growth phase (2-3 years) Strategic Innovation Agenda Open innovation platform to involve and connect industrial technology leaders and CPS researchers Coordinated European research agenda for government, academia and industry Curriculum addressing specific CPS needs in education Targets 2013 First CPS service and application pilots 1 new start-up entering CPS arena 80 participants at new CPS summer school Status & Achievements so far Build-up of a strong CPS community of EIT ICT Labs partners Sensor network test-beds augmented with CPS-specific functionality Foster CPS innovations and take up of business opportunities

18 Role of EIT ICT Labs

19 Role of EIT ICT Labs Build-up of a community of experts from different disciplines, research organisations, and companies Two large-scale sensor network test-beds are augmented with CPS-specific functionality and offered for use to all EIT ICT Labs partners Innovation platform as open community to connect European embedded systems stakeholders in promoting Cyber-Physical Systems and addressing their fundamental challenges Business modelling and development for selected concepts to support market launch CPS-specific test-bed support to speed up application development and evaluation Curriculum development integrating knowledge from various engineering disciplines relevant to CPS, implemented in CPS summer school
