First Open EIT ICT Labs Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering
Fondazione Bruno Kessler Trento, May 24th, 2013
Call for Contributions
General Information
The First Open Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering will be held in Trento on May 24th, 2013. The Centre for Information Technology (Irst) of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler together with the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) of the University of Trento make up Trento RISE, an EIT ICT pole for excellence located in the Trentino Region, the heart of one of the most innovative areas of Italy and Europe. The FBK is a hotspot where education, research, and industry meet.
Context and Motivation
The ongoing integration of software-intensive embedded systems and global communication networks into Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is considered to be the next revolution in ICT with a great deal of game-changing business potential and novel business models for integrated products and services. Many technology leaders are already in the midst of a global race of repositioning and reinventing themselves by developing new dynamic CPS-inspired business models.
Mastering the engineering of complex and trustworthy CPS is crucial to implementing such business models. Current systems engineering frameworks, however, do not enable a conceptualization and design for the deep interdependencies among engineered systems and the natural world. Thus, there is a clear need for a new Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering (CPSE) framework for apprehending the development and operation of highly efficient CPS upon which people can almost blindly depend.
The workshop will be a venue to share and consolidate results, to plan joint work, and to catalyse a joint industry-academia platform to accomplish these ambitious goals. The organization committee welcomes the submission of position papers, short papers and presentations about any topics related to:
- Integrated processes based on the design-operation life-cycle continuum
- Multidisciplinary modelling and analysis of discrete-continuous systems
- Composition and integration frameworks for heterogeneous systems
- Scalable and evolvable system and software architectures
- Open and standardized tool integration frameworks for performance and trustworthiness analysis
- Industrial experience on engineering CPS
Venue
The workshop will take place in the FBK research centre located in the suburban hills of Povo, few minutes from the Trento's downtown, which contains a picturesque Medieval and Renaissance historic centre, with ancient buildings such as Trento Cathedral and the Castello del Buonconsiglio.
