THE 17TH INTERNATIONAL ACM SIGSOFT SYMPOSIUM ON COMPONENT BASED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (CBSE 2014)

The 19th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the industry and academia and provide them with a platform to report on recent advances and developments in the newly emerging areas of technology, as well as actual and potential applications to industrial and factory automation.

The International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign and System Synthesis is the premier event in the design, modeling, analysis, and implementation of modern embedded systems, from system-level specification and optimization to hardware/software implementation. The conference is a forum for active discussions on various topics of current and future importance to designers and researchers.

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.

20th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium RTAS’14, the twentieth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by the IEEE, will be held in Berlin, Germany, as part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPSWeek) in April, 2014.

SECURITY FABRIC SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP TO HOLD FORMATIVE MEETING IN NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ Part of Object Management Group’s quarterly technical meeting   Needham, MA—The Object Management Group (OMG®) will be hosting the formative meeting of a Security Fabric Special Interest Group (SFSIG) at its quarterly technical meeting at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, NJ on Wednesday, September 25th at 1:30pm EST.  

 

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.
