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 This workshop solicits unpublished research work in the following topics of interest including but not limited to: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
