Workshop motivation and topics
The recent technological advances in wireless
communications and the increasing availability of sensors,
actuators, and mobile devices have created an exciting new
ubiquitous computing environment that facilitates computing
and communication services all the time and everywhere. This
lays the foundation for so-called cyber-physical systems
(CPS). These are integrations of computational, network, and
physical systems, whose operations are monitored, coordinated,
controlled and integrated by a computing and communication
core. Relevant application areas are the areas of
transportation, health-care, manufacturing, agriculture,
energy, defense, aerospace, robotic and buildings.
Cyber-physical systems have the potential to transform how we
interact with the physical world around us. The design,
implementation, verification and management of cyber-physical
systems pose a multitude of technical challenges that need to
be addressed by researchers from a multitude of different
disciplines. Additionally, in any case, a paper to be
acceptable needs to be related to agent-technology.
Examples of areas of interest include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Architecture of CPS
• Engineering design techniques and tools for CPS
• Systems Software and Network Supports
• Verification, Validation, and Certification of
CPS:
• Robustness and Safety of CPS
• Real-time System Abstractions
• Agents and Cyber-Physical Systems
• CPS and QoS Composition Challenges
• Real-Time Embedded Systems Abstractions
• Interactions between engineering structures,
information processing, humans and the physical world
• Sensor and Mobile Networks
• Education and Training
• Computational Abstractions for CPS
• SOAs and middleware for CPS
• Security, privacy and trust in Cyber-Physical
Systems
• Applications of CPS in the areas of
transportation, health-care, manufacturing, agriculture,
energy, defense, aerospace, robotic and buildings
Structure of
CyPhySyA
CyPhySyA will be a full-day workshop and will
include several presentation sessions for the accepted paper
as well as invited papers on topics of overall interest in
order to kick off intense and lively discussions. It is
intended to end the workshop with a panel/discussion round in
which the relevant results of the workshop will be discussed.
Review Process
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3
Program Committee members. Selection criteria will include:
relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical
soundness, quality of presentation, practical applicability.
Some preference may also be given to papers which address
emergent trends or important common themes. In general, papers
to be acceptable, must be of substantial relevance for the
multi-agent systems research community.
Journal
publication of excellent papers
It is intended to invite authors of excellent
papers to submit an extended version of their paper to the IOS
Multiagent and Grid Systems journal (MAGS). This journal has a
high reputation and is often classified as a B-class journal.
If enough high quality papers will be submitted it is planned
to publish them as a special issue, otherwise as regular
papers.
