The 9th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2011) is a highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation capabilities allow for an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications.

The increasing complexity of real‐time embedded systems requires advanced methodologies that can reduce the cost of their design and analysis, while ensuring that requirements on functional correctness, real‐ time behaviour, and performance are met. Compositional theories and technologies facilitate the decomposition of a complex system into components, as well as their integration via interfaces. Component interfaces hide the internal details of the components, thereby reducing integration complexity.

The goal of this two-day, single-track event is to expose researchers to control and modeling challenges in cyber-physical systems (CPS) with the aim of exchanging knowledge and fostering collaborations between academia, industry, and government agencies. The proposed symposium will cover several applications of cyber-physical systems such as networked systems of unmanned vehicles, power grids, green buildings, transportation systems and health-care systems via invited talks, poster presentations and a panel discussion.

Embedded Systems Week is an exciting event which brings together conferences, tutorials, and workshops centered on various aspects of embedded systems research and development. Three leading conferences in the area - CASES, CODES+ISSS, and EMSOFT - will take place at the same time and location, allowing attendees to benefit from a wide range of topics covered by these conferences and their associated tutorials and workshops.

Special Interest Group: Medical Devices, Discussion Lead: Oleg Sokolsky (U Penn), This session brings together CPS researchers who work on topics related to health care.  The goal of the session is to seek a common vision for the field and pursue a coordinated agenda of Medical CPS (MCPS) research. Possible agenda items:

This session focuses on methods and design tools for the exploration, analysis, simulation, selection, synthesis, and optimization of E/E automotive architectures (e.g., software, hardware, communication, wiring harness, and power architectures). These methods and tools apply to technologies such as multi-core processors, distributed systems, AUTOSAR, Flexray, CAN, Ethernet, and DSRC among others. The methods and tools are usually (but not limited to) model-based.

WFCD - Foundations and Applications of Component-based Design 2010  The workshop aims to discuss recent results on component-based design with emphasis on design frameworks for real-time systems encompassing heterogeneous composition and models of computation. The focus is not only on fundamental results but also on their implementation in methods and tools and their concrete application in areas such as automotive, avionics, consumer electronics and automation.
