Objectives and Scope
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) track is to foster multidisciplinary exchange on the emerging challenges and innovations shaping the next generation of CPS. CPS are engineered systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled, and integrated by a computing and communication core embedded in all types of objects and structures in the physical environment. CPS has emerged as a unifying name for systems where the cyber parts, i.e., the computing and communication components, and the physical parts are tightly integrated, both at the design time and during operation. Such systems use computations and communication deeply embedded in and interacting with physical processes to add new capabilities to physical systems. Such systems must be operated safely, dependably, securely, efficiently and in real-time. CPS span diverse application domains that underpin critical social infrastructure, including transportation, healthcare, energy, manufacturing, aerospace, and robotics. Therefore, advances in this field will have significant technical, economic and societal impacts in the near future. However, the vision of CPS faces core multidisciplinary research challenges, as relevant technologies span diverse areas of science and engineering. Thus, there is an emerging consensus that new methodologies and tools are urgently needed to support CPS.
