SEsCPS 2015 - International Workshop on Software Engineering for Smart Cyber-Physical Systems

The workshop will be set up in a highly interactive way, equally involving participants with and without accepted paper. The workshop will center the keynote by distinguished speaker, the paper presentations and group discussions around the following three research questions: (1) What are the principles and specifics that underlie sCPS? (2) What are the distinct challenges for software engineers of sCPS? (3) What are the promising SE solutions that reflect (and possibly take advantage of) the specifics of sCPS?
After the workshop, we will consolidate the results from the workshop in terms of the research agenda and prepare a joint report to be submitted to Software Engineering Notes. A formal follow-up publication will be considered in which interested attendees can be involved.
