9th International Workshop on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems (VECoS 2015) Important dates Paper submission: May 15, 2015 Decision notification: July 12, 2015 Camera-ready submission: July 23, 2015 Workshop: September 10-11, 2015 Aims and scope

Abstract: Telerobotic systems are cyber-physical systems where human operators and robots exchange information using a combination of publicly available communication networks and temporary ad-hoc wireless and satellite networks.

Abstract: We are at the end of a four­year effort that has dramatically improved the capability of the use of RF sensors, particularly those that measure received signal strength (RSS) to sense the locations and context of people in buildings and homes.  We have investigated both systems which use RFID tags to identify a person or object, and those which use a static deployed network of transceivers for device­free localization, to locate people moving in the environment who do not carry any tag or device.  Locating people who don’t wear a de

Abstract: Many practical barriers continue to exist for a blind individual who strives to live an independent and active life, despite decades of development of assistive technologies. This project addresses the following two most prominent challenges: (1) disparity in information-sharing among people with visual impairment and its limited understanding by the research community; and (2) lack of methods and tools for effectively addressing the disparity.

Abstract: With the increasing popularity of mobile computing, cyber physical systems are merging into major mobile systems of our society, such as public transportation, supply chain systems, health and wellness, and taxi networks. Mobile CPSs interact with phenomena of interest at different locations and environments, and where the context information (e.g., network availability and connectivity) about these physical locations might not be available.

Abstract: With the increasing popularity of mobile computing, cyber physical systems are merging into major mobile systems of our society, such as public transportation, supply chain systems, and taxi networks. Researchers have accumulated abundant knowledge for designing cyber physical systems, such as military surveillance, infrastructure protection, scientific exploration, and smart environments, mostly in relatively stationary settings, i.e., where spatial diversity is limited.

Abstract: Telerobotic systems, such as those used in rescue operations, remotely-operated vehicles or the next-generation robotic surgery, human operators interact with robots through a communi- cation network.
