2nd International Workshop on
Verification and Validation of Cyber-Physical Systems
co-located with iFM 2017, 19 September 2017, Torino, Italy
http://v2cps17.mpi-sws.org/

Workshop on Verification and Validation of Cyber-Physical Systems is
targeted at verification, validation, and synthesis methods related to
different aspects of cyber-physical systems with an emphasis on
non-functional properties initiated from the physical world. A
cyber-physical system (CPS) is an integration of networked computational
and physical processes with meaningful inter-effects; the former monitors,
controls, and affects the latter, while the latter affects the decisions of
the former.
CPS have applications in a wide-range of systems spanning robotics,
transportation, communication, infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing.
The advanced capabilities of CPS require complex software and synthesis
algorithms, which are hard to verify, i.e., to show that the system behaves
as specified. In fact, most of the interesting problems in this area are
undecidable. Thus, a major research activity is to discover algorithmically
tractable abstractions describing the partial/overall behaviors of CPS
while respecting key properties.
The ultimate goal of this event is to bring together researchers and
experts of the fields of formal methods, control theory, and CPS to cover
the theme of this workshop, through verification, validation, and synthesis
methods for different aspects of safe and secure cyber-physical systems.

Topics of interest:
We welcome extended abstracts and paper submissions for presentation on
topics relating to verification, validation, and synthesis of
cyber-physical systems as described above. Typical, but not exclusive,
topics include:

-- Modeling and simulation of CPS
-- Monitoring and testing of CPS
-- Formal Verification and Synthesis methods for CPS
-- Security and Resiliency in CPS
-- Dependability of CPS
-- Hardware/Software co-design for CPS
-- CPS and natural models of computation (quantum, biological, ...)
-- Semantics of CPS
-- Power/Energy/Temperature-Aware modeling and verification of CPS
-- Approaches towards non-classic formal control methods in CPS
-- CPS and fault-tolerance
-- Resource management and processor scheduling
