How to Improve IT Specialists Training for Designing Cyber-Physical Systems
Vasiliy Pinkevich, Alexey Platunov, Arkady Kluchev · 2021
Many universities today offer special courses or entire master programs for cyber-physical systems (CPS) developers training. A multi-aspect design route of the CPS creation is considered as the methodological vector, which should provide a parallel, balanced, and integrated movement from the task to the product. The most important part is knowledge and skills in computing, aimed at designing computing platforms and CPS application software. However, the ongoing segmentation in computing reduces the interdisciplinary interaction effectiveness. We consider the development of an integral perception of a computing system based on a multi-level and multi-domain representation model and a deep understanding of the fundamental universal mechanisms of its functioning as a way to improve the quality of design and the efficiency of interaction between computer specialists. This can be achieved by the development of microarchitectural descriptions of a computing system and its components, filling the gap between architectural representation and implementation-level documents. These principles should be implemented even during specialists training. The means of creating such models and descriptions, as well as the educational laboratory complex of distance learning, which supports the proposed approach, are demonstrated.
