Abstract
As patterns in cyberspace, cyberpatterns shed light on research on the development of cyber systems from a new angle. They can help us move from an improvised craft to an engineering discipline because they help to transfer knowledge about proven solutions in an understandable and reusable format. They allow innovative applications in cloud, cyber-physical and mobile systems, and novel methods of use with data patterns for observation and analysis of ‘big data’ problems. The ultimate aim of research on cyberpatterns is an overall framework for cyberpatterns integrating all the cyber domains to help develop a better-understood and effective cyberspace. However, there are many research questions in cyberpatterns that remain unanswered regarding both their conceptual foundation and practical use. This chapter concludes the book by exploring some of the most critical and important problems needing to be addressed.
