In recent years, cyber-physical system (CPS) has become one of the hottest research topics in both computing and engineering disciplines. CPS is a very important application of CNC (Computing, Networking and Communications). For example, we can use implanted pacemakers to sense abnormal heart beats and launch electrical pulses to stimulate the heart if necessary. In CPS, the "cyber objects" (such as sensors, actuators, etc.) can both sense and actuate the "physical object". This is different from general sensor networking systems that typically have only sensing functionalities without the capability of actuating the physical world.
A few decades ago, the invention of Internet started to transform the
way people interact with information. Today, CPS is transforming the way
we interact with surrounding physical systems. This is due to the following
CPS features: (1) the computing capability could exist in each physical
component to achieve comprehensive sensing or control; (2) the networking
capability could exist in multiple and extreme scales. This ranges from
nano-communications to large-scale networks; (3) the automation and control
loops could be applied to each physical sub-system.
This one-day workshop, co-located with ICNC 2013, brings the researchers together to exchange ideas on CPS advanced computing and networking design. It emphasizes the applications of accurate computing models and communication technologies for cyber-physical system design such as biomedical systems, structure health monitoring, smart grid, robots, GENI, and other systems with tight cyber and physical coupling. The authors should follow the general ICNC paper format guideline (see: http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/ ) to submit a paper to this workshop.
