Self-Awareness in Cyber-Physical Systems, 5th edition

Event Dates

Apr 16, 2020 - Apr 17, 2020

Location

UC Irvine, CA, USA

Submission Deadline

Jan 22, 2020

**** LAST CALL, Extended deadline ****

DESCRIPTION:

Inspired by biological examples, self-awareness has become a hot research topic in a

variety of disciplines and its applicability has been explored in various application

domains. The topic owes its attractiveness to its promise to facilitate highly

resilient, adaptive and outstandingly efficient behaviors. Thus, self-awareness is

expected to promote dependability in all types of smart gadgets and artificial agents

in the interconnected world of future.

The main purpose of this workshop is to strengthen and extend the community and to try

to develop a shared and communal understanding of the main concepts underlying self-

awareness with respect to CPS. Currently, self-awareness is studied in a range of

different communities, where the underlying assumptions, definitions and goals differ

significantly. This workshop will provide a forum for reflections and in-depth

discussions of the pivotal concepts of this field which will serve as a basis for

building an integrated scientific community and for developing future research projects.

*** We seek previously published or unpublished contributions for oral and/or poster

presentations on research relevant to self-awareness in cyber-physical systems on, but

not limited to, the topics and application

TOPICS:

– Self-awareness in resource constrained distributed systems

– Self-awareness in HW, Operating System, and applications

– Self-awareness facilitating autonomous, adaptive or

resilient behavior

– Architectures & Design methods

– Systems with other Self-* properties

– Quantifying Self-Awareness

– Benchmarks for Self-awareness

APPLICATION AREAS:

– Sensor Networks

SUBMISSION:

The workshop submissions (one page extended abstract, IEEE Conference format, PDF only)

has to be sent to workshop organizers (contact below). Organizers will sort the abstracts

according to their relevance and expected impact to the workshop outcome. We will

inform the authors of accepted submissions about the decision and proposed presentation

format by the selection deadline.

Authors of accepted submissions will have opportunity to make their work public at the

workshop website, but there will be no obligation to do so. Selected contributions will

be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue of a reputable

journal and/or an edited book.

*** Deadline for extended abstracts: 22 January 2020
