The proposed reference model extends the traditional SOC paradigm for handling hard real-time CPS aspects by introducing resource-aware service deployment and quality-of-service (QoS)-aware service operation phases along with support for the following formal guarantees: 1) functional equivalence between a CPS design specification and the corresponding service-based CPS field deployment and 2) non-interference between the co-deployed CPS services from the perspective of their timing performance. As a result, the proposed CPS reference model enables a provably-correct process for converting a new CPS application from a CPS design specification to a service-based CPS deployment in the field without affecting the timing performance of already-deployed CPS applications or disrupting the operation of already-deployed CPS applications for system upgrade. Therefore, unlike the traditional task-based reference model from the domains of automotive and avionics, the proposed service-oriented CPS reference model enables disruption-free, incremental system deployment and reconfiguration that are fundamental requirements of the emerging safety-critical but wide-area and \u0022always-online\u0022 CPS application domains such as smart grid and vehicular networks.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE PhD Dissertation Defense"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2016-03-31 17:25:07","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:17:18","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-04-18T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-04-18T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-04-18T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-04-18 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-04-18 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-04-18 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"},{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
