CALL FOR PAPERS

Submission deadline (full paper): January 31st, 2023

11th International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems

June 6-10, 2023 | Budva, Montenegro | https://mecoconference.me/cpsiot2023/

Contemporary Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are smart compound systems engineered through seamless integration of embedded information processing sub-systems and physical sub-systems. The modern smart collaborating CPS, that started to form the Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems (CPSoS) and Internet of Things (IoT), have important applications in virtually all economic and social segments, and their huge economic and societal impact rapidly increases. The CPS and IoT area undergoes a revolutionary development.

CPS&IoT'2023 Conference addresses all aspects of CPS and IoT, as well as related applications, specification, analysis, validation, architectures, technology, hardware, software, design and development methodology, and design automation tools. It includes a strong keynote programme by outstanding professionals from industry and academia. It gives an excellent opportunity to disseminate, publish and discuss fresh research results from international, European, and other R&D projects. It is indexed in all the main Databases or Digital Libraries as IEEE xPlore, SCOPUS, WoS, etc. Selected conference papers will be invited for publication as extended journal papers in the journal Microprocessors and Microsystems, operated by our strategic partners EUROMICRO and Elsevier. CPS&IoT'2023 Conference together with CPS&IoT'2023 Summer School constitute a premier Europe based conference event in CPS and IoT.

Its target participants are industrial and academic researchers, developers, engineers and decision-makers; academic teachers, Ph.D. and M.Sc. students; entrepreneurs, investors, research funding agents, and policy makers; and other participants who want to discuss or learn the CPS and IoT engineering.
CPS&IoT'2023 Conference builds on the success the series of nine EUROMICRO/IEEE Workshops on Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems (ECYPS) and ten Mediterranean Conferences on Embedded Computing (MECO), as well as, very successful annual CPS&IoT' Summer School. It will be collocated with CPS&IoT'2023 Summer School and MECO'2023 Conference.

Topics of CPS&IoT'2023.

Submission

Submission deadline for MECO&CPSIoT is January 31st, 2023 (full papers)

All submission for MECO, CPSIoT and associated Workshops and sessions has to be done through the EasyChair System.

Choose your Track (Workshop/Special Session). If you are not sure about track submit material under "CPSIoT 2023" and we will later categorize it.

To submit your material use the EasyChair link and follow the following steps:

• STEP 1: Submit initial PDF version of your paper for reviewing.
• NOTE: The data in manuscript (PDF) and EasyChair fields must be the same, titles, the names of the authors, orders of the authors, affiliations etc. Put the names and surnames without abbreviations.
• THE SUBMISSIONS WITH INCONSISTENT DATA IN EASY CHAIR AND MANUSCRIPT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REJECTED!
