Abstract
We present an approach for swarm system software in order to realize a swarm operating system providing a common interface to system resources which mediates between the sum of different devices and swarm applications developed by different programmers. The system guarantees isolation of swarm applications by coordinating access to shared resources. We introduce virtual swarms as an abstraction of the physical swarm representing an execution environment for swarm applications enabling multi-program operation. In order to program the swarm, we introduce a programming abstraction enabling a systemic view to virtualized system resources and present a design pattern to achieve high level functionality facilitating application development for CPS. Finally, we present an execution model that states how the virtualization and management of swarm applications is realized.
