WS-14: Edge Computing for Cyber Physical Systems (EDGE-CPS)

Primary tabs

Scope

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are engineered systems with deep intertwined computation, communication, monitoring and control components with physical components of the system. Broad presence of CPS in various domains such as energy, transportation, and healthcare systems as well as many other critical infrastructures has transformed the way we operate and interact with these systems with time sensitive and critical services. The large volume of generated data and the real-time analysis and response requirements of CPSs call for new solutions to address such challenges. The new edge or fog computing technology is emerging as a new alternative to existing computation and cloud-based mechanisms deployed in CPSs. Edge computing provides geographically distributed, latency-sensitive and high-resilience computation and storage resources to the edge of the network, which are essential for many real-time and computationally intensive data handling and data analytics in CPS services. Therefore, it is essential to jointly discuss CPS and edge computing technologies and their co-design and co-implementation to address current CPS challenges. This workshop provides a platform for practitioners and researchers from different backgrounds to exchange and discuss their recent ideas, research achievements, design and implementation experiences in CPS and edge computing. This workshop solicits unpublished research work in the following topics of interest including but not limited to:

  • Edge/fog computing applications for CPS
  • Architecture design and implementation of edge-based CPS
  • Modeling and analysis of CPS and edge computing
  • Edge-based distributed analytics for CPS
  • Resource management and optimization for CPS edge computing
  • Security and privacy for edge-based CPS
  • Reliability of edge-based CPS
  • QoS/QoE in edge-based CPS
  • Network science analysis of edge-based CPS
  • Edge-based critical infrastructures
  • Experimental evaluations and testbeds for CPS and edge computing
  • Real-time data-analytics using CPS
