The Second International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Networking Systems (CPNS 2012) In conjunction with ICDCS 2012 Macau, China, June 18 - 21, 2012
CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop Goals
The Second International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Networking Systems(CPNS 2012) is a forum to bring together people from academia and industry to explore research issues and challenges related to Cyber-Physical Networking Systems (CPNSs) and discuss innovative ideas and promising cutting-edge solutions (methodologies, techniques and approaches) on diverse CPNS-related topics. This forum aims to help researchers from academia and industry understand the broad, novel scope of CPNSs and grasp new thinking, challenges, and approaches underlying the issues, technologies, and solutions exchanged from mutual communities.
The topics of interest for CPNS 2012 include, but not limited to, the following:
*Theoretical foundations of CPNSs *Modeling and analysis of CPNSs *System-level designs and implementations of CPNSs *Evaluation approaches and metrics *Control issues in CPNS *Real-time services and QoS support in CPNSs *Wireless sensor networking in CPNSs *Mobile and participatory sensing *Internet of things in CPNSs *High-performance computing with CPNSs *Cloud computing with CPNSs *Security and privacy issues in CPNSs *Safety, fault tolerance, and robustness of CPNSs *Intelligent sensing and processing in CPNs *Networking issues in emerging CPNS applications including healthcare, transportation, automation, the environment, smart grid and so on.
