International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems (IWCPS’13)

Kraków, Poland, September 8-11, 2013

IWCPS - Call for Papers

Proliferation of computers in everyday life requires careful investigation of approaches related to the specification, design, implementation, testing, and use of modern computer systems interfacing with real world and controlling their environment. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are physical and engineering systems closely integrated with their networked environment. Modern airplanes, automobiles, or medical devices are practically networks of computers. Sensors, robots, and intelligent devices are abundant. Our life depends on them. Cyber-physical systems transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another.

The event is a continuation and extension of 2006-2010 Real-Time Software FedCSIS workshops. The objective of the workshop is to assemble and develop a community with main interest in cyber-physical systems.

• The total length of a paper must not exceed 8 pages IEEE style (including tables, figures and references). IEEE style templates are available here.
• Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference.
• Submitted papers must be unpublished and not under review in any other conference or journal (submissions that violate this requirement will be regarded as self-plagiarism).
• Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between FedCSIS events.
• Only papers presented at the conference will be included in the IEEE Xplore® database and submitted for indexation.
  • Proceedings of the FedCSIS 2012 conference were indexed in the  Thomson Reuters - Conference Proceedings Citation Index, where they will also be submitted in 2013.
  • Furthermore, FedCSIS proceedings will be submitted for indexation to: DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, Inspec, Scirus, and other repositories.
• Extended versions of selected papers presented during the conference may be published as Special Issue(s) of journal(s)to be announced later.
