Call For Papers
Big Data Technologies for the Analysis and Control of complex Cyber-Physical Systems

Workshop in conjuction with INFORMATIK 2014
„BIG DATA: Mastering complexity“
23. September 2014, University of Stuttgart
www.twt-gmbh.de/CPSData

The availability of efficient embedded systems in combination with new communication technologies has led to an increasing application of cyber-physical systems (CPS). Such systems consisting of software modules, network-, communication- and physical components can be considered as the basis for addressing many upcoming challenges: sustainable transportation concepts, intelligent and adaptive power grids, self-optimizing platforms for managing buildings and flexible manufacturing processes for the industry. An important requirement for tackling these scenarios is the availability of standardized networked components as well as the intelligent application of CPS data. This requires techniques for the data management and algorithms for their (real-time) analysis, storage and processing.
Big data technologies, such as real-time processing of data streams or the parallelization through algorithms such as map-reduce in combination with NoSQL and in-memory databases, are promising tools for addressing the above mentioned needs and for coping with the extensive amount of data.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers and system operators to discuss research questions at the borderline between CPS and big data and to identify challenges and new opportunities for cooperation.
