The field of cyber-physical systems (CPS) is witnessing significant advancements in development methodologies, simulation frameworks, and virtualization techniques. Researchers are focusing on creating structured approaches to integrate mixed-criticality software into centralized architectures, ensuring real-time, safety, and scalability. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on developing unified frameworks for maritime autonomy, enabling simulation, testing, and validation of autonomous surface vessels.
Notable papers in this area include: PyGemini, which introduces a novel Configuration-Driven Development process for maritime autonomy development, and MultiCoSim, a Python-based multi-fidelity co-simulation framework that supports distributed, component-based co-simulation. These innovative approaches are expected to advance the field of CPS, enabling the development of more efficient, scalable, and reliable systems.
