Special Issue on Convergence of Mobility, Networking, and Computing in Cyber-Physical Systems !!!!!!!! Deadline extended to March 21, 2011 !!!!!!!!

Scope The convergence of cyber and physical spaces has transformed traditional embedded systems into cyber-physical systems (CPS), which are characterized by tight integration and coordination among computing, networking, and physical processes. Examples of CPS encompass a wide range of man-made systems such as avionics, healthcare, transportation, automation, and smart grid systems. In addition, the recent proliferation of smart phones and mobile Internet devices, equipped with multiple sensors, can be leveraged to enable mobile cyber-physical applications. In these systems, it is of critical importance to properly resolve the complex interactions between various computational and physical elements.

This special issue aims to identify emerging research topics in CPS from the mobile communication and networking perspective. In particular, by properly addressing complex interactions between cyber and physical elements of CPS, we focus on challenging issues in networking that need to be resolved for deriving eventual working solutions for CPS. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

*Theoretical foundations of CPS *Modeling, analysis, and simulation of CPS *Architectures for CPS *Emerging CPS applications *Empirical case studies for CPS *Security and privacy in CPS *Energy-efficient design of CPS
