Our Goal
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that feature the seamless integration of computation and physical components. They are often in the form of decentralized systems in edge-cloud infrastructures in which Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) is embodied. The mission of the Technical Committee is to provide a focal platform for researchers and practitioners active in Cyber-physical systems to exchange state-of-the-art knowledge and collaborate to pioneer initiatives of impact.
Example areas include (but not limited to):
- CPS co-design methodologies of computing, communication, and control
- large-scale CPS
- human and societal CPS
- CPS reliability and resiliency
- UAV enabled mobile edge computing
- decentralized AI/ML in CPS
- smart data processing and data driven framework in CPS
- real-time data and stream analytics for CPS
- context-aware event processing for CPS
- security and privacy protection in CPS
- trust and blockchain for CPS
- CPS applications in smart healthcare, smart farming, Industry 5.0 and smart cities
