National Workshop on High-Confidence Automotive Cyber-Physical Systems. To be Held April 3-4, 2008 in Troy, Michigan.

本次研讨会将于2008年4月3日至4日在密歇根州特洛伊市举行，目的是为研究领导者和有远见的人提供一个开放的论坛，为汽车行业部署网络物理系统（CPS）制定路线图。参与者来自学术界、工业界和政府。研讨会考虑了CPS在汽车行业变革影响的机会，以及要求苛刻的汽车应用给CPS研究界带来的挑战。研讨会的目标是发展远景，确定和突出技术和科学挑战，并确定有前途的研究方法。就知识价值而言，研讨会为美国在全球市场上的工业竞争力提供了一个重要的机会，并为网络物理系统研究社区提供了一个将要求苛刻的应用领域纳入考虑的机会。就更广泛的影响而言，研讨会本身以及后续的研究和其他活动有可能对美国汽车工业的竞争力以及重要的社会问题产生重大影响，包括汽车的能源效率和公路安全。该研讨会也有可能为工程和计算机科学研究人员提供对一个重要且具有挑战性的应用领域的见解，从而提高大学研究的智力深度和实际应用。

The purpose of this workshop, to be held April 3-4, 2008 in Troy, Michigan, is to provide an open forum for research leaders and visionaries to develop a roadmap for the deployment of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in the automotive sector. Participants come from academia, industry, and government. The workshop considers both the opportunities for transformative impacts of CPS in the automotive sector as well as the challenges presented to the CPS research community by demanding automotive applications. The goals of the workshop are to develop a vision, determine and highlight technical and scientific challenges, and identify promising research approaches.With respect to intellectual merit, the workshop addresses an important opportunity for an industry segment that is important to U.S. industrial competitiveness in the global market and that provides an opportunity to bring a demanding application domain into consideration by the cyber-physical systems researcher community.With respect to broader impact, the workshop itself and follow-on research and other activities have the potential to have a significant impact on the competitiveness of the U.S. automotive industry, as well as on important societal issues including energy efficiency for automobiles and highway safety. The workshop also has the potential to provide engineering and computer science researchers with insight into an important and challenging application domain that can improve the intellectual depth and the practical application of university research.
