Boeing is a Key CPS Stakeholder The Boeing Company is working a rich set of application areas that are benefiting from CPS research Air (military and commercial) Space (high-reliability applications) Land Applications involve multiple networked CPS systems Safety-critical aspects Security Need for predictability in face of dynamic environments Aircraft platforms Commercial Stringent Certification and V&V processes and standards Military Piloted and autonomous aircraft Support all services Varying levels of V&V requirements EOT_PW_Sub_no-icon.ppt 3
Testimony before House Committee on Science and Technology 31 July 2008 CPS are of great importance to Boeing, the Aerospace Industry The challenges today are far greater than those faced in even the recent past and continue to grow as individual systems evolve, operate with greater autonomy and intelligence, and operate as part of a networked system of systems, Requirements for cyber-physical systems and software are far more stringent than those for typical office automation applications. Our systems must support real-time behavior. We require ultra-high reliability and many of our systems are safety critical and require certification. EOT_PW_Sub_no-icon.ppt 4
