CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS

1st International Workshop on Next-Generation Operating Systems for
Cyber-Physical
Systems (NGOSCPS): On Beyond POSIX
at CPS-IoT Week 2019, in Montreal, Canada

https://www.cse.wustl.edu/~cdgill/ngoscps2019/

IMPORTANT DATES

Position paper submission deadline: Monday, February 18, 2019
Acceptance notification:            Monday, February 25, 2019
Final copies of papers due:         Monday, March 11, 2019
Workshop:                           Monday, April 15, 2019

This first NGOSCPS workshop solicits position papers from researchers, and from
other stakeholders in academic, industry and government organizations, with
a focus on real-time and embedded systems, operating systems, formal
methods, cyber-physical systems, and other disciplines, towards framing and
moderating a conversation among the workshop participants to identify,
document, and discuss important open problems, potential approaches, and
promising research agendas towards a new generation of operating systems
for cyber-physical systems.

Interested participants are encouraged to submit position papers of 2-3 pages
in length (including references) in two-column ACM conference format by
Monday, February 18, 2019 (anywhere on earth), at the workshop's submission
site:

https://ngoscps2019.hotcrp.com/paper/new

Authors of position papers that are selected to appear at the workshop will
be invited to give a brief presentation on the topic of their position
papers and to participate in a moderated panel with audience interaction
that will follow the set of individual presentations in each topic area.

ACM formatting templates are available at

https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

To ensure uniform style across the workshop's position papers, authors should
please not change the ACM template in terms of font sizes or page margins.

Topics of interest for this year's workshop papers and presentations include,
but are not limited to:

- What assumptions that are embodied by the current state of the art need to
be re-examined to realize a new generation of more effective operating systems
for cyber-physical systems?

- How must the current operating system approaches evolve, and what
new abstractions,
semantics, architectures, designs, implementations, etc. will be needed to
achieve such a vision fully?

- How could existing operating systems, particularly those developed through
research to refine real-time, embedded, and cyber-physical systems semantics,
be leveraged towards those goals?

- What opportunities may exist for colleagues in different
cyber-physical systems
research areas to collaborate towards developing new approaches that
cross-cut two or more disciplines?
