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).
