@inproceedings{bibcite_73, author = {Jane Cleland-Huang and Michael Vierhauser and Sean Bayley}, title = {Dronology: an incubator for cyber-physical systems research}, abstract = {Research in the area of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is hampered by the lack of available project environments in which to explore open challenges and to propose and rigorously evaluate solutions. In this {\textquotedblleft}New Ideas and Emerging Results{\textquotedblright} paper we introduce a CPS research incubator {\textendash} based upon a system, and its associated project environment, for managing and coordinating the flight of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS). The research incubator provides a new community resource, making available diverse, high-quality project artifacts produced across multiple releases of a safety-critical CPS. It enables researchers to experiment with their own novel solutions within a fully-executable runtime environ- ment that supports both high-fidelity sUAS simulations as well as physical sUAS. Early collaborators from the software engineering community have shown broad and enthusiastic support for the project and its role as a research incubator, and have indicated their intention to leverage the environment to address their own research areas of goal modeling, runtime adaptation, safety-assurance, and software evolution.}, year = {2018}, journal = {40th International Conference on Software Engineering: New Ideas and Emerging Results Track}, chapter = {109}, pages = {4}, month = {01}, url = {https://par.nsf.gov/biblio/10076567}, doi = {10.1145/3183399.3183408}, }
