The First International Workshop on Communication, Computing, and Networking in Cyber Physical Systems (CCN-CPS)



https://sites.google.com/site/ccncps/



in association with



35th IEEE International Performance Computing and Communications Conference (IPCCC 2016)



Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, December 9-11, 2016

The new paradigms and tremendous advances in computing, communications and control have provided and supported wide range of applications in all domains of live, in particular, bridging the physical components and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use recent computing, communication, and control methods to design and operate intelligent and autonomous systems that can provide using cutting edge technologies. This require the use of computing resources for sensing, processing, analysis, predicting, understanding of data, and then communication resources for interaction, intervene, and interface management, and finally provide control for systems so that they can inter-operate, evolve, and run in a stable evidence-based environment. CPS has extraordinary significance for the future of several industrial domains and hence, it is expected that the complexity in CPS will continue to increase due to the integration of cyber components with physical and industrial systems.





This workshop solicits unpublished research work related to the latest challenges, technologies, solutions, techniques and fundamentals pertaining to communication, computing, networking, control in CPS.



Topics of the track consist of all aspects related to Communication, Computing, and Networking in CPS. They include but are not limited to:





·       Cyber-physical issues in next-generation communication systems



·       Real-time Sensing, Reasoning and Adaptation for Cyber-Physical Systems



·       Cloud-integrated Cyber-Physical Systems.
