10th IEEE International Workshop on Factory Communication Systems Scope The WFCS workshop is the largest IEEE technical event specially dedicated to industrial communication systems. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers to review current trends in this area and to present and discuss new ideas and new research directions.

8th  HiPEAC Workshop on Reconfigurable Computing

The 10th IEEE International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems (ICESS) 2013 Embedded software and systems are closely related to our daily life, which reside from smart appliances to unmanned trains. As the fastest growing industry, embedded systems will have great societal and environmental impacts. Therefore, the design and implementation of safe and efficient embedded software and systems have utmost importance.

2nd Workshop on High-performance and Real-time Embedded Systems (HiRES 2014) January 20, 2014, Vienna, Austria To be held in conjunction with the 9th International Conference on High-Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC 2014) http://www.hipeac.net/hipeac2014

The 5th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems.

 

This talk is part of the Triangle Computer Science Distinguished Lecturer Series

Abstract:

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) represent a tight integration of computing and communications with the physics and real-time dynamics of engineered systems.  They will revolutionize many sectors including transportation, critical infrastructures, manufacturing, healthcare and medical devices, aerospace and defense.   In this talk, we will present some grand challenges that can be met by advances in cyber-physical systems.   This will be followed by a detailed description of 3 areas of CPS research projects that the speaker is working on: (1) Planetary-scale sensor-actuator networks with applications to the smart grid, (2) Smart Surveillance systems, and (3) Autonomous Driving Systems.   Current status of each project will be complemented by a description of research challenges that need to be addressed.   These systems will hopefully offer insights into why the integration of engineering and computer science into a master discipline that can enrich both domains while yielding significant, perhaps even revolutionary, practical benefits.
