CaPSICuMS 2011: International Workshop on Cyber Physical Systems: Integration of Cloud, Mobility and Sensing

Website: http://cnds.ece.nus.edu.sg/CaPSICuMS2011/

Summary: There has been significant interest in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) in recent years. CPS refers to systems which have a tight coupling between the digital and physical worlds. Although CPS was initially of interest in defence and security domains, it is increasingly viewed that CPS can play an important role in civilian and commercial domains in a world grappling with climate change and concerned with improving sustainability and efficiency in a wide range of activities. Examples are energy management, congestion control in transportation systems, disaster recovery, healthcare, fleet and supply chain management and business process management etc. However, significant research and development challenges remain. Information resides in silos and it is difficult to correlate different strands of real-time and historical data with evolving physical events, sometimes occurring over a wide geographical area. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from research organizations, academia, government agencies and industry to share information and ideas on leading edge techniques and ‘hot’ areas in CPS so as to advance the field and bring about beneficial impact to society.
