FUSE at Mason Square is a separate, newer building located immediately adjacent to the main GMU Arlington Square buildings. 

The goal of the workshop is to review and assess the past two decades of CPS research advancements, identify enduring challenges, and develop a forward-looking research agenda for the next twenty years. The workshop can be viewed as a reflection and celebration of the CPS program and its road ahead to an even brighter future. This workshop is part of the NSF Small Workshops Series as requested by the NSF CPS Program Directors.
