MT-CPS'17
2nd International Workshop on
Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems

Pittsburgh, PA, USA
21st April 2017
Collocated with CPS Week

DESCRIPTION

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are integrations of heterogeneous collaborative entities that interact between themselves and with their physical environment. CPS exhibit complex and unpredictable behaviors, thus making their correctness and robustness analysis a challenging task. In order to address their full complexity, there is an emergent need for formal, yet efficient and scalable methods for the verification and analysis of CPS. Light-weight verification techniques, such as monitoring and testing, achieve both rigor and efficiency by enabling the evaluation of systems according to the properties of their individual behaviours.
The MT CPS workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in the problems of detecting, testing, measuring and extracting qualitative and quantitative properties from CPS behaviors. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
· Specification languages for monitoring and testing
· Runtime verification and monitoring
· Black-box and white-box testing
· Measuring and statistical information gathering
· Simulation-based verification and parameter synthesis
· Diagnostics, error localization and repair
· Combination of static and dynamic analyses
· Applications and case studies

WORKSHOP FORMAT

MT CPS workshop is intended to be a forum for exchanging the latest scientific trends between researchers and practitioners interested in the field of light-weight verification and analysis of CPS. As a consequence, the workshop will NOT have formal proceedings. We encourage submission of abstracts that address any of the aforementioned topics of interest and cover recently published results as well as work in progress.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Abstracts are submitted via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mtcps2 . Abstracts should be in PDF form, up to 2 pages in length with 1-inch margins and at least 10-point font size, and may contain up to two figures. Abstracts should list the full names, affiliations, and contact information of all authors, and the submission should indicate whether the abstract will be presented as a poster, orally, or both.
