DQ 1

Read the NSF Program Solicitation for research and development proposals for cyber-physical systems before attempting to answer this question.

In the solicitation, NSF asks technology researchers to address the following questions:

1. "How do we design CPS to be safe, secure, and resilient in a variety of unanticipated and rapidly evolving environments and disturbances?"

2. "How do we integrate privacy and security into CPS design?"

Pick one of these questions and discuss why finding answers to the question is important to the development of technologies for cyber-physical systems.

DQ2

Read the DHS Transition to practice (TTP) technology guide (FY 2015) (posted under Week 5 > Content). Choose one of the emerging applications of technology that was selected for testing by DHS.

Identify the critical infrastructure sector (https://www.dhs.gov/critical-infrastructure-sectors) that would best benefit from the adoption of this emerging application of technology. Then, explain how this application of technology could be used to build a resilient or attack resistant national infrastructure that has 24x7x365 availability.
