Self-Awareness in Cyber-physical Systems
-----------------------------------------

Proposed as a foundational topic requiring further research.

Insight that concepts related to "self-awareness" will be needed to handle
- HW faults
- SW and functional failures
- Malicious attacks (e.g. HW trojans)
- the significant adaptivity needed in autonomous systems, safety
  critical systems.

Two recent books:
- Self-Aware Computing Systems
  Editors: Kounev, S., Kephart, J.O., Milenkoski, A., Zhu, X. (Eds.)
  http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319474724
  coming out of a 2015 Dagstuhl seminar

- Self-aware Computing Systems - An Engineering Approach
  Editors: Peter R. Lewis, Marco Platzner, Bernhard Rinner, Jim Tørresen, Xin Yao
  http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-39675-0

  based on a European project.
