NIST Cyber-Physical Systems Public Working Group What are Cyber-Physical Systems or CPS? Is a CPS any engineered system with a microprocessor? Do all CPS need to be connected to the internet? Are there a set of basic functions and architectural elements common to all CPS? You are invited to join us in answering these questions and charting the path to the future.

The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Intel Labs recently announced a new partnership to support novel, transformative, multidisciplinary approaches that address the problem of securing current and emerging cyber-physical systems, the infrastructures they form, and those integrated with them. A key goal of this activity is to foster a long-term research community committed to advancing research and education at the confl

The RIPS information webcast has been re-scheduled for Tuesday January 28th at 11am to discuss the RIPS program and answer questions about the solicitation was postponed due to the recent weather related Fed Gov’t closure. Please click here to view more information concerning this webcast including the webcast slides.

The CPSWeek brings together five leading conferences - HSCC, ICCPS, IPSN, HiCoNS, RTAS - as well as several workshops and tutorials on various aspects on the research and development of cyber-physical systems: Embedded Systems, Hybrid Systems, Real-Time and Sensor Networks.

As with prior summits, the event was invite-only, but inclusive of the NSF CI community, with no attendance fee. Invited attendees included cybersecurity practitioners, technical leaders, and risk owners from within the NSF Large Facilities and CI community, as well as key stakeholders and thought leaders from the broader scientific and information security communities.

Abstract: One of the most important challenges in the design and deployment of Cyber-Physical Systems is how to formally guarantee that they are amenable to effective human control. This is a challenging problem not only because of the operational changes and increasing complexity of future CPS but also because of the nonlinear nature of the human-CPS system under realistic assumptions.
