CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) is seeking original manuscripts for Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the January - June 2013 issue. The coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the quality of life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world.
Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using digital communications and security technologies, and intelligent monitoring and control of the delivery network and electricity consumption b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, (ground, aerial, aquatic) robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical and intelligent transportation systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation; d) Smart Living technologies: smart city (e.g. increasing security, comfort and convenience, green energy), intelligent park and space, healthcare systems. Ambient intelligence, context-awareness, data mining, embedded system and software, evolutionary computation, modeling environments and human behavior, social networks, big data, security, privacy and trust, ubiquitous computing and other technologies and methodologies applied in CPS are also welcome.
Towards merging the information-centric character and node-centric physical world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Architectural framework for distributed CPS - Resource Management in large scale CPS - Evaluations and field trials of CPS and solutions Security, privacy, scalability, and reliability issues - Design and cross-layer optimizations - Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems - Scalable monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices - Smart Living and Smart grid technologies - Modeling and fault tolerance
