Special Issue on Cross-Layer Design of Cyber–Physical Systems
| • | Guest Editors’ Introduction: Cross-Layer Design of Cyber–Physical Systems |
| View full article (PDF). |
| • | Cross-Layer Design of Automotive Systems |
| This article presents multiple cross-layer methods to ensure security as well as functional correctness of automotive systems. These approaches tie together multiple abstraction layers, going all the way from vehicular networks responsible for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, to in-vehicle hardware/software architectures. read more View full article (PDF). |
| • | Reconfigurable Pipelined Control Systems |
| As sensor data processing, e.g., from video cameras, is becoming more compute intensive, it is also introducing higher sensor-to-actuator delays. This article studies cross-layer schemes that co-design a controller together with sensor data processing in a pipelined fashion on multicore embedded processors. read more.

| • | Cloud-Ready Acceleration of Formal Method Techniques for Cyber–Physical Systems |
| Controller synthesis using formal specifications has shown considerable promise in recent years. However, it is computationally very expensive. This article shows how cloud computing can come to the rescue. read more. View full article (PDF). |
| • | Integrating Interobject Scenarios with Intraobject Statecharts for Developing Reactive Systems |
| An important role of cross-layer design is to reconcile model-implementation differences, often stemming from how the two layers are specified. This article shows how a single method and tool can support both the specification and implementation stages, resulting in better closing the “model-implementation. read more.

| • | Breaking Silos to Guarantee Control Stability with Communication over Ethernet TSN |
| Editor’s notes: The cross-layer approach presented in this article involves co-designing a feedback controller’s parameters together with the schedule of an Ethernet network used for communicating state information and control signals. read more View full article (PDF). |
| • | Lifelong Exploratory Navigation: An Architecture for Safer Mobile Robots |
| Editor’s notes: This article studies a layered architecture for robotics design, proposes a contract-based interface between the layers, and shows how cross-layer adaptation between these layers can be done in response to different scenarios read more View full article (PDF). |
| • | Hardware Virtualization and Task Allocation for Plug-and-Play Automotive Systems |
| Editor’s notes: Today, automotive hardware architectures have become extremely complex and heterogeneous. To tackle this complexity and enable seamless plug-and-play, this article proposes hardware virtualization using an OS hypervisor. read more View full article (PDF). |
| • | The AXIOM Project: IoT on Heterogeneous Embedded Platforms |
| Editor’s notes: IoT constitutes an important area of cyber–physical systems, whose design and programming involve interactions between multiple abstraction layers. This article describes a new IoT node, its hardware architecture, programming environment, and two application scenarios where it may be used. read more View full article (PDF). |
