N2 - Cyber-physical systems are a coordinated combination of computational and physical elements. This position paper calls for the design of a unified object model that blends the boundary of the two. The unified object model has the benefits of bringing classic software engineering technologies and tools - such as UML - to the new application domain of cyber-physical systems, and further equipping programs written for these systems with the traditional strengths of object-oriented languages, such as encapsulation, code reuse and customization, and strong guarantees for avoiding runtime errors.
