DYNAMIC DATA DRIVEN APPLICATION SYSTEMS: RESEARCH CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Dynamic Data Driven Applications Systems (DDDAS) is a paradigm where data is dynamically integrated into an executing application, and in reverse, the application dynamically steers the measurement process in a feedback control loop. Since its inception in 2000, the DDDAS concept has been successfully applied to a host of application areas. New technologies are emerging such as big data, the Internet of Things, and cloud/edge computing. With these trends DDDAS is poised to have large-scale impacts in areas such as smart cities, manufacturing, health care, and security, to name a few. Each author describes their views concerning the important research challenges facing the DDDAS paradigm and opportunities for impact in the years ahead.
