Special Issue of
IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC)
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
