CPSWeek 2016

Date: Apr 11, 2016 1:00 am – Apr 14, 2016 10:00 am
Location: Vienna, Austria

CPS Week is the premier event on Cyber-Physical Systems. It brings together four top conferences, HSCC, ICCPS, IPSN, and RTAS, 10-15 workshops, a localization competition, tutorials and various exhibitions from both industry and academia. Altogether the CPS Week program covers a multitude of complementary aspects of CPS, and reunites the leading researchers in this dynamic field.

Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC) has long been the leading, single-track conference on foundations, techniques, and tools for analysis, verification, control, synthesis, implementation, and applications of dynamical systems that exhibit continuous and discrete (hybrid) dynamics. Applications deal broadly with cyber-physical systems (CPS), and include mixed signal circuits, robotics, large-scale infrastructure networks, as well as natural systems such as biochemical and physiological models. 

HSCC 2016 Call for Papers

7th International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS)is the premier single-track conference for reporting advances in all aspects of cyber-physical systems, including theory, tools, applications, systems, testbeds and field deployments. This year, the conference features two focus areas for submissions: one on CPS foundations (the traditional focus of ICCPS), and one on secure and resilient infrastructure CPS (the focus of the former HiCoNS conference).

The CPS foundations (CPSF) area focuses on core science and technology for developing fundamental principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements. Application domains include transportation, energy, water, agriculture, ecology, supply-chains, medical and assistive technology, sensor and social networks, and robotics. Among the relevant research areas are security, control, optimization, machine learning, game theory, mechanism design, mobile and cloud computing, model-based design, verification, data mining / analytics, signal processing, and human-in-the-loop shared or supervisory control.

The secure and resilient infrastructure CPS (HiCoNS) area focuses on the confluence of cyber-security, privacy, and CPS that impacts the operation of critical infrastructures such as the smart grid, water distribution, transportation, healthcare, building automation, and process control. Of particular interest is foundational work that cuts across multiple application areas or advances the scientific understanding of underlying principles for the development of high confidence (secure, reliable, robust, and trustworthy) networked CPS.

The 15th International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) is a leading, single-track, annual forum on research in networked sensing and control, broadly defined. IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of a multiple of these areas. 

In addition to IPSN's traditional focus areas, IPSN 2016 is inaugurating a new track on the Internet of Things (IoT). The entire program committee is eligible to review any submitted paper, but in order to aid in reviewer selection, authors are encouraged to indicate in the submission site whether their submissions are related to theIoT track.

IPSN 2016 Call for Papers

The 22nd IEEE Real-Time Embedded Technology & Applications Symposium (RTAS) will consist of three tracks:

Track 1: Applications, RTOSs, Run-Time Software and Tools.

This track focuses on applications, tools, and run-time software for real-time systems. Relevant areas include, but are not limited to, real-time operating systems, middleware, system utilities, and case studies. Papers submitted to this track should focus on specific systems and implementations. Authors must introduce the application context and clearly define motivating application examples. The papers must also introduce the related research challenges, illustrate the theoretical foundations, and explain the method used in the evaluation. Authors must include a section with experimental results performed on a real implementation, or demonstrate applicability to an industrial case study or working system. The experiment or case study discussions must highlight problems and bottlenecks encountered in the implementation. Simulation-based results are acceptable only if the authors clearly motivate why it is not possible to develop a real system. Submissions that do not consider real-time requirements will not be accepted.

Track 2: Applied Methodologies and Foundations.

This track focuses on basic methodologies, algorithms, and analyses that are applied to real systems to solve specific problems. Papers failing to address applicability as defined in the following guidelines will not be considered as acceptable. Authors must introduce the application context and clearly define motivating application examples. The system models and any assumptions used in the derivation of the results must be applicable to real systems and reflect actual needs. Papers must include a section on experimental results, preferably on real case studies or models of real systems, although the use of synthetic workloads and models is acceptable if appropriately motivated. Submissions that do not consider real-time requirements will not be accepted.

Track 3: Embedded Systems Design for Real-Time Applications.

This track focuses on hardware/software co-design, integration methodologies, design-time tools and architectures for modern embedded systems for real-time applications. General topics relevant to this track include, but are not limited to, architecture description languages and tools, WCET analysis, software and hardware architectures, design space exploration, synthesis and optimization. Of special interest are SoC design for real-time applications, special purpose functional units, specialized memory structures, multi-core chips and communication aspects, FPGA simulation and prototyping, software simulation and compilation for novel architectures and applications, as well as power, timing and predictability analyses. Papers must include a section on experimental results, preferably on real case studies or models of real systems, although the use of synthetic workloads and models is acceptable if appropriately motivated. Submissions that do not consider real-time requirements will not be accepted.
