Scope and Topics
Introduction
As an emerging
cross-disciplinary research area,
the Cyber Physical System (CPS) is
attracting attention worldwide. A
Cyber-Physical System is a system
featuring a combination of
computational and physical elements,
all of which are capable of
interacting, reflecting and
influencing each other. Furthermore,
social systems are evolving with
cyber systems and physical systems
along with the popularity of online
social networking. With the advent
of ubiquitous sensing and
networking, future social networks
turn into cyber-physical
interactions, which are attached
with associated social attributes.
The emergence of the
cyber-physical-social computing will
significantly change the way we see
the world. In the mean time, the
convergence of the physical, cyber,
and social spaces will exhibit a
variety of complicated
characteristics, which brings more
open issues and challenges for
research communities.
Scope and Topics
A. Networks
and Networked Systems where
intelligent entities exchange
information to achieve improved
overall performance for both cyber
and physical components. Particular
areas of interests include:
• sensor, vehicular, robot, camera,
aerial and social smartphone
networks
• wireless networking technologies
and autonomous ad hoc networks
• internet of things and
machine-to-machine communications
• networked infrastructure
management with applications such as
smart power grids and transportation
systems
• network enabled computation,
coordination, and actuation
• scalability of complex networks
B. Modelling and Control
where mathematical and computational
methods are developed and applied to
facilitate innovative design,
in-depth analysis, and novel
insights of the fundamental
principles.
Particular areas of interests
include:
• control theory with a clear
cyber-physical tone such as
networked control, distributed
optimization, and distributed
learning
• autonomy with applications in
mobile sensor networks, internet
connected cars, etc.
• modelling of tightly integrated
physical processes, software,
computation platforms, and networks
C. Data Management where
novel methods are developed to
reliably gather, store, transfer,
and analyse large amount of data and
dataflow.
Particular areas of interests
include:
• data management and processing
(e.g. big data, cloud computing)
• location and tracking based
services
• smart cameras and computer vision
based context management
• web of things.
D. Software and Hardware
where novel designs and
implementations of test-beds,
platforms, and software will
significantly improve the speed,
efficiency, and reliability of next
generation CPS. Particular areas of
interests include:
• embedded systems applications
(pervasive computing, real-time
control technologies)
• resource-constrained systems (low
power, energizing, device
miniaturization)
• standards and middleware.
E. Other Emerging Areas where
new challenges, new ideas, and new
principles are shaping. For example,
• incentive, security, trust, and
privacy issues in CPS
• smart living technologies such as
smart city, smart home and office,
wearable devices, learning devices,
etc.
• social M2M networks, social impact
of CPS, creative aspects.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions must include an
abstract, keywords, the e-mail
address of the corresponding author
and should not exceed 8 pages for
main conference, including tables
and figures in IEEE CS format. The
template files for LATEX or WORD can
be downloaded
here. All paper submissions must
represent original and unpublished
work. Each submission will be peer
reviewed by at least three program
committee members. Submission of a
paper should be regarded as an
undertaking that, should the paper
be accepted, at least one of the
authors will register for the
conference and present the work.
Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at
the submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/cpscom2015/submission.htm.
Publications
Accepted and presented papers will
be included into the IEEE Conference
Proceedings published by IEEE CS
Press. Authors of accepted papers,
or at least one of them, are
requested to register and present
their work at the conference,
otherwise their papers may be
removed from the digital libraries
of IEEE CS after
the conference.
Distinguished papers presented at
the conference, after further
revision, will be published in
special issues of Concurrency and
Computation: Practice and
Experience,
Journal of Network and Computer
Applications, Journal of
Computer and System Sciences
and IEEE Transactions on Big Data.
