1st International ESWEEK Workshop on Resiliency in Embedded Electronic Systems (REES 2015) With the sheer complexity of hardware and software systems, resiliency became a major challenge in embedded systems design, manufacturing, and operation. For industrial applications several standards such as ISO26262, IEC61508 or DO-254 prescribe a well-defined level of reliability, robustness, and fault-tolerance.

2nd International Workshop on Safety and Formal Methods Overview The SaFoMe workshop aims at providing a forum for people from academia and industry to communicate their latest results on theoretical advances, industrial case studies, and lessons learned in the application of formal methods to safety certification, verification and/or validation in (but not limited to) component-based systems.

Synopsis and Aim:

After successful deployment of Internet and wireless networks (cellular and Wi-Fi networks) over the past decades, we already have ubiquitous services that provide anywhere, anytime connectivity to the users. Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of computing, communications and control to provide wide range of applications in all domains. This advancement provides the  opportunities to bridge the physical components and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use computing (sensing, analyzing, predicting, understanding), communication (interaction, intervene, interface management) and control (inter-operate, evolve, evidence-based certification) to make intelligent and autonomous systems. Thus, advances made as well as complexity have increased due to the integration of cyber components with physical systems. Comprehensive knowledge base of CPS domain is required not only for researchers and practitioners, but also for policy makers and system managers. The process of building a knowledge-base for cyber physical systems is possible through the creation of a comprehensive collection of research and trends on the topic.  Unfortunately, such a collection of research on CPS does not exist. The forthcoming book “Cyber Physical Systems: From Theory to Practice” will address significant issues in the field.

The objective of this book is to provide (a medium for researchers and practitioners to present) state-of-the-art of research results and trends related to Science of Cyber-Physical Systems, Technology for Cyber-Physical Systems, and Engineering of Cyber-Physical Systems from theory to practice.

Topics of interest (but are not limited to):

• Cyber Physical Systems: Architecture
• Cyber Physical Systems: Modeling and Simulation
• Virtualization of Physical Components in Cyber Physical Systems
• Computing and Control in Cyber-Physical Systems
• Design and Performance Optimization in Cyber Physical Systems
• Cloud-assisted Situation-aware  and decision support in Cyber Physical Systems
• Big-data Processing and Visualization in Cyber-Physical Systems
• Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems
• Game Theory for Cyber Physical Systems
• Control Theory for Cyber Physical Systems
• Tools and Methods for Cyber-Physical Systems
• Sensor-actuator Networks
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Machine-to-machine (M2M) Communication
• Cyber-Physical System Security and Privacy
• Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks for Cyber Physical Systems
• Cyber Physical Systems for Smart Grid
• Intelligent  (Road/Air) Transportation Cyber Physical Systems
• Cyber Physical Systems for Health Care
• Cyber Physical Systems: Tools, test beds and deployment issues
• Cyber Physical Systems: Applications and standardization
• Intrusion Detection System/Intrusion Prevention System
• Standardization, Applications and Case Studies

Submission Procedure:

Chapter Proposals/Abstracts: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their chapter proposals/abstracts (2-3 pages) by the given deadline by clearly explaining the mission of their proposed chapters to db.rawat@ieee.org and CC to other editors. No specific page format is required for proposals/abstracts. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by the given deadline about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines.

Full Book Chapter: Complete  chapters are required to be submitted to db.rawat@ieee.org . Author could use LaTex or any word  processing tools (MS Word, OpenDocument, etc.) while preparing the chapters. A book chapter is required to be 15 to 25 pages (9,500 to 12,500 words).

https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/03/12/2014-05414/connected-vehicle-pilot-deployment-program-request-for-information Action

Notice.

Summary

This notice is a Request for Information (RFI) and comments that will be used to help refine the plans for one or more pilot deployments, which combines connected vehicle and mobile device technologies innovations to improve traveler mobility and system productivity, while reducing environmental impacts and enhancing safety. The FHWA anticipates a procurement action for one or more pilot deployment concepts in 2015. The FHWA is issuing this RFI in collaboration with, and on behalf of, other agencies within the DOT, specifically the Federal Transit Administration, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology. Feedback and comments on any aspect of the RFI are welcome from all interested public, private, and academic entities. While all feedback is welcome, DOT is particularly interested in feedback on the questions provided in the last section of this RFI.
