Workshop Challenges and New Approaches for Dependable and Cyber-Physical System Engineering (De-CPS 2016)


Workshop Challenges and New Approaches for Dependable and Cyber-Physical System Engineering (De-CPS 2016)

within the 21st International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies, Ada-Europe 2016, 

17th June 2016, Pisa, Italy

Following the success of the inaugural workshop in 2014 and of its second edition in Madrid in 2015, we are delighted to organize the third International Workshop on Challenges and new Approaches for Dependable and Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering (DeCPS2016) within Ada-Europe 2016 conference in Pisa on June 17th 2016. 

The two previous workshops proved popular, with a range of excellent presentations and some interesting and wide-raging discussions. Revised versions of papers presented at the workshop were published in the Ada User Journal, in December 2014 and in December 2015. 

The discussions, publications and collaborative work which arose from De-CPS2014 and De-CPS2015 have provided a vision for future research and industrial work/collaborations on the dependability of CPS. 

Domain and Topics

From the USA to Europe, there is a crescendo of industrial and research interest in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).  One distinguishing trait of CPS is that they integrate software control and decision making with signals from an uncertain and dynamic environment. CPS often involve heterogeneous and hierarchical systems, and their design makes extensive use of models. The Horizon 2020 program framework of the European Union devotes considerable attention in the current work program to various challenges associated with developing, integrating and providing assurance concerning CPS. The workshop will gather together industrial practitioners and researchers concerned with dependable and Cyber-Physical Systems engineering, and use the momentum provided by the 21st International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies to foster further collaborative initiatives.

The topics addressed by the workshop include the following:

·        Industrial challenges and experience reports on co-engineering for multiple dependability concerns in CPS engineering.

·        Modeling and analysis of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and IoT 

·        Tools and methodologies to guarantee dependability-related properties, including real-time and mixed-criticality cohabitation

·        Challenges posed for CPS design and verification by multi-core processors.

·        Smart Factoring, Industry 4.x

·        Platforms for IoT - CPS
