Scope of the Workshop
Networked Cyber-Physical System (NCPS) includes a set of
connected heterogeneous systems ranging from sensors and Internet-of-Things
(IoT) devices to compute servers and data centers. More specifically, IoT
architecture aims to provide smart connectivity not only with existing
computers, but also with new context-aware computing resources, extending soon
beyond von Neumann devices for the purpose of mining, prediction and control of
cyber and physical components. These NCPS not only leads to the accumulation of
large amounts of data that can be used to build comprehensive mathematical
models, but also raise the quest for real-time analysis and control in diverse
application domains such as environmental, healthcare, avionics, smart
interconnected automobiles, and smart buildings. With the exponential growth of
NCPS, energy consumption is a serious concern. To improve the overall
energy-efficiency of the NCPS systems, this workshop will explore foundations
of energy-aware computing and communication to meet the QoS requirements of the
real-world applications. Since this is a highly-interdisciplinary research
topic, the workshop will bring together academic and industrial researchers working
in CPS, embedded systems, systems and
control, machine learning, and data science to exchange new ideas and
results, and future directions on the following (non-exhaustive) list
of topics:
- Energy-aware distributed architectures and communication
protocols
- Adaptive and reconfigurable connectivity among
heterogeneous systems
- Learning predictive models for energy-efficiency
- Distributed learning and data analysis
algorithms to optimize communication energy
- Frameworks for hardware and software co-design for
energy optimization
-
Control mechanisms in smart-grid and smart-city
- ...
All
submitted papers will be reviewed by 3 reviewers and accepted papers
will be published in the CPSWeek conference proceedings.
