The National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded Iowa State University of Science and Technology $315,818 on September 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to establish scientific foundations for testing methods that assess cyber-physical system performance with statistical rigor and consistency. The project addresses repeatability in performance testing of software-intensive and autonomous systems used in transportation, manufacturing, and service technologies. Current testing produces inconsistent conclusions due to sensor noise, environmental variation, randomized computation, and software-physical interactions. The research will develop procedures that generate statistically defensible conclusions while making efficient use of costly or unsafe physical experiments. Deliverables include open-source tools, shared data, reporting practices, and curriculum integration to prepare engineers to evaluate complex systems with greater transparency. Results will inform standards, certification, and responsible deployment of intelligent technologies. Iowa State University performs the work at its Ames, Iowa campus through August 31, 2029. The assistance type is Project Grant, classified as a parent award.
