Call for Papers: IEEE INFOCOM 2020 Workshop NI-CPS: Modeling, Analysis and Advancement of Network Infrastructure in Cyber-Physical Systems ======================================================================

Modern societies are witnessing the prevalence of a wide assortment of cyber-physical systems (CPS) built upon network infrastructure for mission-critical applications, such as industrial control systems (ICS), and society-enabling services, such as intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Such applications and services may demand various levels of performance of their CPS network infrastructure, from strict and deterministic to lenient or probabilistic ones, for system agility, safety, stability and resilience. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in modeling and analyzing network infrastructure in CPS and advancing its design and application.

For example, there is a technological convergence in realizing delay-constrained CPS based on real-time-capable Ethernet. IEEE TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) technologies have been discussed to be incorporated into Profinet (Process Field Net) and AFDX (Avionic Full-Duplex Ethernet). Moreover, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has established a working group for Deterministic Networking (DetNet) that is closely collaborating with IEEE TSN in order to bring its concepts to the Internet. Additionally, in the context of 5G networks, the Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) require new methods to prove guaranteed low latency for safety-critical CPS (e.g. self-driving vehicles) in the presence of highly volatile wireless channels potentially affected by deep fades and cell edge situations.

In this workshop, any topics related to modeling, analysis, and advancement of network infrastructure in CPS will be considered. For example:

· Delay performance or timeliness property of network infrastructure in CPS

· Time-sensitive networking

· Reliability analysis of network infrastructure in CPS

· Ultra-reliable and low-latency communication networks

· Modeling, analysis, and advancement of SDN (Software Defined Networks) in CPS

· Deterministic networking

· Modeling, analysis, and advancement of 5G and beyond for CPS

· Network infrastructure and ad-hoc networking for industrial control systems

· Application, comparison and advancement of CPS-specific performance evaluation methodologies, such as network calculus, rare-event simulation, extreme value theory, reinforcement learning, etc. · Standards for network infrastructure in CPS
