Abstract
Parallel, concurrent, and distributed software plays a key role in user-centric cyber-physical systems. It handles a multiplicity of streams of sensor data, extracts and fuses models of the physical environment, and coordinates distributed reactions. Humans require that such software behave in ways that would be expected of physical processes. Achieving that illusion, however, is challenging using today's prevailing technologies for software design. These technologies are rooted in abstractions that have only poor analogies in the physical world. This talk will critically examine these abstractions and suggest replacements. The goal is software design techniques that naturally lead to software behaviors that emulate physical processes.
