We present a "Researcher's Hierarchy of Needs" (loosely based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs) in the context of interdisciplinary research in a "big data" era. We discuss multiple tensions and difficulties that researchers face in today's environment, some current efforts and suggested policy changes to address these shortcomings and present our vision of a future interdisciplinary ecosystem.

We describe a preliminary set of security requirements for safe and secure next-generation medical systems, consisting of dynamically composable units, tied together through a real-time safety-critical middleware. We note that this requirement set is not the same for individual (stand-alone) devices or for electronic health record systems, and we must take care to define rather than security goals for components. The requirements themselves build on each other such that it is difficult or impossible to eliminate any one of the requirements and still achieve high-level security goals.

Alarms are essential for medical systems in order to ensure patient safety during deteriorating clinical situations and inevitable device malfunction. As medical devices are connected together to become interoperable, alarms become crucial part in making them high-assurance, in nature. Traditional alarm systems for interoperable medical devices have been patientcentric.
