London CPS Workshop

Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems |

Workshop Scope and Purpose
Recent technological developments in sensing, communications, control and computation have created an emerging class of complex systems, called Cyber-Physical Systems. Cyber-Physical Systems are characterized by large numbers of tightly integrated heterogeneous components in a network, which may expand and contract dynamically. Cyber-Physical Systems are very common and are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The control of such systems presents huge challenges and requires designs drawn from approaches such as those in traditional control, hybrid control systems, discrete event systems, and networked control. In addition, robustness, reliability and security issues for reconfiguring dynamical systems must also be addressed. This integration of different technologies and scientific domains presents new and challenging fundamental problems underlying the theoretical foundations for this class of systems.
Date and Location
The workshop will be on Saturday and Sunday, October 20-21, 2012. It will start Saturday morning and end at approximately noon on Sunday. It will be held at the London Centre of the University of Notre Dame.
