A Vision of Cyber-Physical Internet
Ref: HURRAY-TR-070905 Publication Date: 1 to 3, Jul, 2009Abstract:
When the Internet was born, the purpose was to
interconnect computers to share digital data at large-scale. On
the other hand, when embedded systems were born, the objective
was to control system components under real-time constraints
through sensing devices, typically at small to medium scales.
With the great evolution of the Information and Communication
Technology (ICT), the tendency is to enable ubiquitous and
pervasive computing to control everything (physical processes
and physical objects) anytime and at a large-scale. This new
vision gave recently rise to the paradigm of Cyber-Physical
Systems (CPS). In this position paper, we provide a realistic
vision to the concept of the Cyber-Physical Internet (CPI),
discuss its design requirements and present the limitations of
the current networking abstractions to fulfill these requirements.
We also debate whether it is more productive to adopt a
system integration approach or a radical design approach for
building large-scale CPS. Finally, we present a sample of realtime
challenges that must be considered in the design of the
Cyber-Physical Internet.
