CPS Community Forum (at CPS Week)
The CPS Program, largely through NSF's guidance, has experienced significant progress in advancing innovative technology in an array of domains, including agriculture, energy, manufacturing, medical, security, and transportation, to name a few. Over the next five years, we envision the need for increased fundamental CPS research to address the growth in global demand for innovation in these and new domains. The importance of fundamental CPS research has rapidly expanded from that of a national government programmatic interest, to that of state and municipal government interests, as well as to a growing interest to the commercial world. For example, NIST's CPS Public Working Groups and the Industrial Internet Consortium, are recent developments underscoring the importance of government and industry moves to help accelerate the growth of innovative CPS technologies into the industrial economy as well as to influence the consolidation of best practice standards for these technologies.
Thus, the CPS Community Forum is a community organized event that provides an open environment for all CPS Week participants to learn about and engage in discussion on current and future government initiatives and growing innovative community collaborations impacting the CPS Program.

2006 High-Confidence Software Platforms for Cyber-Physical Systems (HCSP-CPS) Workshop
Some of the most challenging R&D software problems for cyber-physical systems are those associated with producing, and where computer processors control physical, chemical, or biological processes or devices.
