Platforms for Cyber-Physical System Design

Model-based design is a powerful design technique for cyber-physical systems, though often ill-defined. In each step in a model-based design methodology, gaps exist in tools and processes used today. Poorly glued together design tools ("frankenware") result in failed designs and underscore the need for innovation in platforms for the design of cyber-physical systems.
