NET-CPS 2016: International Symposium on Networked Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are technological systems where physical components and cyber components are tightly integrated. CPS have become ubiquitous. Inexpensive yet powerful devices can communicate, sense, and act in the environment; intelligent interfaces make interaction between humans and machines natural and rewarding; and the global communication and computing infrastructure is expanding its reach and increasing its power by the minute. This new environment is often referred to as a network-immersed world to emphasize that humans are now an integral part of the overall system. Networked CPS (Net-CPS) emphasize that while in CPS a key challenge is the modeling, performance evaluation and design of the tight integration of cyber and physical components, additional critical challenges emerge when such CPS operate in a networked setting. The challenges start even for defining and modeling what is meant by by the abstraction “network” in these scenaria. Examples abound including interconnected and interacting sociotechnical systems, social networks over the Internet, heterogeneous energy systems, connected cars, smart transportation, collaborating robots, collaborating robots and humans and many others. Humans are an important component of such systems. This critical and emerging area has not received adequate attention by the research and development community.
The objective of the symposium is to provide a forum for presenting state of the art work and describe challenges in this emerging and critical area. A report and a road map would be developed. Topics of interest include: Modeling and Foundations of Net-CPS, Collaborative Autonomy, Architectures, Design and Life Cycle Management, Validation and Verification, Security and Trust, Reliability and Robustness, Internet of Things, Industrial Internet, Smart Grids, Smart Transportation, Manufacturing, Smart and Connected Communities, Health IT and Systems Medicine.
The Program of the Symposium consists of three plenary lectures, twelve invited lectures, two panel sessions and two poster sessions.
