| Scope
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) emerge from the
integration of embedded computing devices, smart objects, people and physical
environments, typically tied by a communication infrastructure (Ochoa et al,
2017). CPS application domains include health monitoring systems,
manufacturing, robotics, transportation, energy control, smart building,
agriculture, waste management, etc. All of these applications have a complete
potential to serve substantial economic and social benefits. According to
recent statistics, 20.4 billion of IoT devices will be online by 2021, and the
number expected to rise to 38,6 billion devices by 2025. The wide spread of
IoT-based solutions is driving more and more data into enterprises and
industries, therefore big data analytics has become an essential component for
extracting valuable information. This represents an opportunity that also
brings several challenges to data processing systems for improving data
collection, cleaning and storage, and performing real-time analytics. Thus, the
design and development of IoT-enabled CPS face several challenges incurred by
the ever-increasing system scale and complexity, the interaction with the
complex physical world, the adoption of distributed embedded systems and the
stringent requirements on scalability, reliability, privacy, and security.
The goal of this
workshop is to report original research papers on recent advances related to
the use of the CPS paradigm in industry as well as in research. Researchers are
highly encouraged to submit research works from interdisciplinary backgrounds
focusing on tools, technologies, architectures and infrastructures for building
CPS systems. Relevant research areas include security, optimization, machine
learning, cloud computing, data mining and analytics. Obviously, papers
describing CPS application in different domains including transportation,
energy, water, agriculture, medical technology, smart cities, supply chain, and
robotics are of great interest.
This workshop
aims to offer an event in order to highlight the potential and challenges of
CPS systems, exchange ideas among practitioners and researchers from different
areas, identify promising research directions, and ultimately create a special
interest community.
