Dear researchers, There is only 1 week left until the final deadline for submissions to the 1st International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems, Applications and Technologies (CPS-AT), to be held in Melbourne, Australia on 26-28 September 2012. Proceedings of this workshop will be published on IEEExplore and selected papers will be invited to publish in The Journal of Intelligent Learning Systems and Applications (JILSA) or Journal of Internet Business (Australian ERA Ranked).

Call for Papers: ------------------ The Internet primarily deals with movement of data (virtual objects) and sharing of knowledge, which is accessed by millions of users worldwide through a web browser. Progressively, research and Internet technologies have moved from read only web (Web 1.0) to read/write web (Web 2.0) and more recently towards intelligent web (semantic web or so called Web 3.0). The next stage of Internet development is moving away from data only web to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) which allow direct manipulation of physical object through the Internet.The field of wireless sensor networks brought information about the physical world into the cyber world as sensors (which determine the state of real world objects) would monitor the physical environment and transmit the physical state information over a network to a database for further processing. While this was predominantly a one-way process, researchers have been developing new techniques for providing two-way interaction between the cyber world and physical world. The very recent development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) provides a vision of interconnectedness between the physical world with the cyber world, allowing for robust and flexible systems with multi-scale dynamics and integrated wired and wireless networking for managing the flows of mass, energy, and information in a coherent way through integration of computing and communication capabilities with the monitoring and/or control of entities in the physical world in a dependable, safe, secure, efficient and real-time fashion. This workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems, Application and Technologies brings together innovative research in this emerging field, which was named the top research priority for tackling numerous scientific social and economic issues by the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. This workshop is ideally suited to be held in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Networked-Based Information Systems (NBiS) as it builds upon and extend the work presented at NBiS. This workshop provides an international forum for researcher and participants to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges and present original ideas in all aspect of CPS, its applications and technologies. We do not welcome only research papers on CPS technology but also reports on innovative applications of CPS in all domains, particularly in the domains of health, transportation and energy distribution. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Architectures and theoretical foundations of Cyber-Physical Systems - Cyber-Physical Systems application design, implementation and evaluation - Sensor and actuator network protocols, models and architectures in Cyber-Physical Systems - Quality of Service (QoS), reliability, and safety in Cyber-Physical Systems - Robustness, Adaptation, Reconfiguration of Cyber Physical Systems - Security, Trust, Privacy, and Risk in Cyber Physical Systems - Verification, Testing and Certification of Cyber Physical Systems - Information and data processing in Cyber Physical Systems - Networking and communication for Cyber-Physical Systems - Distributed, self-organized, autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems - Cyber-Physical Systems as part of System of Systems - Situational awareness for assistive technologies using Cyber-Physical Systems - Real-world applications of Cyber-Physical systems Important Dates: -------------------- Submission Deadline: May 15, 2012 (FINAL DEADLINE) Author Notification: May 25, 2012 Author Registration: June 22, 2012 Final Manuscript: June 22, 2012 Workshop Dates: September 26 - 28, 2012 I look forward to your submission and meeting you in Melbourne. Regards, Jaipal Department of Electrical & Computer Enginnering, Curtin University, Australia. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
