The closing workshop of the NSF PIRE Science of Design of Societal-Scale CPS project took place June 5-6, 2023 at the Garching campus of Technische Universitat Munchen (Technical University of Munich) in Munich, Germany. This international effort was co-funded by the NSF OISE PIRE program, NSF CISE CPS program, and the German Research Foundation. The partners in the project included Vanderbilt University and University of California, Berkeley from the USA and University of Oldenburg and Technical University of Munich from Germany.
The project focused on large-scale socio-technical Human-CPS systems with attention to transportation and energy domains. The research objective was the explicit consideration of social context in the design of connected and autonomous driving, low-altitude autonomous flying and transactive energy systems. The project incorporated extensive student exchanges, three international workshops, a body of publications in technical and social science forums, and a proposed Reference Architecture for Human-CPS Systems.
This in-person workshop will have sessions on Socio-Technical Systems in Human-CPS and a closing session on evaluating potential impact of the findings on socio-technical approaches to climate and energy challenges. The workshop will be two full days (~9 am to 4 pm daily) and include invited speakers, technical talks highlighting research results, poster presentations, and a faculty investigator meeting. It will also include a networking event the evening of June 5.
