CPSNA 2012 - International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems, Networks, and Applications

Cyber-physical systems represent a next generation of embedded systems featuring a tight integration of computational and physical elements. Emerging applications of cyber-physical systems include transportation, healthcare, energy, manufacturing, entertainment, consumer electronics, environmental monitoring, and aerospace, all of which will be essential pieces of our social infrastructure. A grander vision of cyber-physical systems, however, faces a core challenge of multidisciplinary research collaborations, as their relevant technologies appear in diverse areas of science and engineering.
The objective of this workshop is to explore innovative, exciting, and fresh ideas for cyber-physical systems. Contributions should emphasize on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, networks, and applications. The scope of CPSNA'11 will give due consideration in all areas of research that facilitate collaborations between cyber-physical systems and existing technologies. Topics of special interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Embedded and real-time systems
Sensor networks
Verification methods and tools
Dependable computing
Ubiquitous and pervasive computing
Cloud and distributed computing
Data-intensive computing
Multicore and GPU programming
Architecture, compiler, and OS support
Experimental prototype systems
Project report on multidisciplinary research collaborations
Emerging applications of cyber-physical systems: autonomous vehicles, healthcare robots, smart buildings, smart grids, medical devices, virtual reality interfaces, infrastructure monitoring systems, etc.
CPSNA'11 especially seeks papers from, but not limited to, students and young researchers. Case studies and evaluation of existing technologies are also welcome.
