Call For Papers - CFP

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)

IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) is seeking original

manuscripts for Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to

be published in the January ? June 2013 issue. The coordination and tight

link between computational, virtual and physical resources will drive the

potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life,

satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the

introduction of services that will enhance the quality of life of the

society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to

transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in

terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency,

precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and

user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came

into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous

connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close

interaction of digital world with physical world.

Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas

and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid

technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of

electricity to consumers using digital communications and security

technologies, and intelligent monitoring and control of the delivery network

and electricity consumption b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking:

to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and

actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, (ground, aerial, aquatic) robots etc.,

which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented

density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c)

Vehicular cyber-physical and intelligent transportation systems: that

integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring

and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand

challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation; d) Smart Living

technologies: smart city (e.g. increasing security, comfort and convenience,

green energy), intelligent park and space, healthcare systems. Ambient

intelligence, context-awareness, data mining, embedded system and software,

evolutionary computation, modeling environments and human behavior, social

networks, big data, security, privacy and trust, ubiquitous computing and

other technologies and methodologies applied in CPS are also welcome.

Towards merging the information-centric character and node-centric physical

world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and

experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable

of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various

parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

- Architectural framework for distributed CPS

- Resource Management in large scale CPS

- Evaluations and field trials of CPS and solutions Security, privacy,

scalability, and reliability issues

- Design and cross-layer optimizations

- Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems

- Scalable monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart

phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices

- Smart Living and Smart grid technologies

- Modeling and fault tolerance
