Last chance to register: CPS PWG April 7-8 Face-to-Face meeting at NIST Gaithersburg
As a reminder, next week (April 7-8, 2015) we are having our Cyber-Physical Systems Public Working Group (CPS PWG) Face-to-Face Meeting at NIST in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
The CPS PWG April workshop will review the integrated CPS Framework being developed in phase two of the CPS PWG, and also will serve as the planning mechanism for our roadmapping activity (phase three) of the CPS PWG, which will focus on improving the draft CPS Framework and identify additional opportunities to address key technical challenges. There has been a lot of good work within the subgroups, including to develop an understanding of reference architecture concepts, and this April workshop will be a great opportunity to hear about and test drive the architectural "facets" and "aspects" concepts.

Some attendees may want to extend their Washington D.C. visit to take advantage of the now-underway National Cherry Blossom Festival, billed as "The Nation's Greatest Springtime Celebration."
