Support for CPS Week 2010 and ICCPS 2010 Conference Travel and Activities

信息物理系统 (CPS) 是将计算、通信和存储功能与物理和工程系统的监视和/或控制集成在一起的系统。此类系统必须安全、可靠、安全、高效和实时地运行。 CPS 研究预计将在不久的将来在多个领域产生重大的技术、经济和社会影响，包括交通系统、智能电网、节能建筑、农业、水/污水处理、环境管理和制造系统。 CPS 的一个核心方面是其多学科性质，需要专家的团队合作、合作与协作，包括计算机科学家、硬件工程师、控制专家、软件工程师、网络专家、计算机架构师、传感器专家、电气工程师、材料工程师和结构工程师。该奖项用于支持学生参加 2010 年 CPS 周以及将于 2010 年 4 月 12 日至 16 日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的第一届网络物理系统国际会议 (ICCPS) 和一些初创企业首届 ICCPS 的活动。更具体地说，目标有三个方面： 1. 鼓励美国学生参加 2010 年 CPS 周，聆听有关网络物理系统前沿主题的主题演讲、演示、海报和演示并从中学习。 2. 促进网络物理系统新兴领域研究团体的强劲发展。 3. 支持首届 ACM/IEEE 国际网络物理系统会议的活动，该会议的目标是成为举办针对网络物理系统跨学科性质的原创研究的主要论坛。 本论坛关注嵌入式系统、混合系统、实时系统和传感器网络之间交互的特定领域。

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are ones that integrate computation, communication and storage capabilities with the monitoring and/or control of the physical and engineering systems. Such systems must be operated safely, dependably, securely, efficiently and in real-time. CPS research is expected to have significant technical, economic and societal impacts in the near future in multiple sectors including transportation systems, smart grids, energy-aware buildings, agriculture, water/sewage treatment, environmental management and manufacturing systems. A core aspect of CPS is its multidisciplinary nature requiring the teamwork, cooperation and collaboration of experts including computer scientists, hardware engineers, control experts, software engineers, network specialists, computer architects, sensor experts, electrical engineers, material engineers, and structural engineers.The award is for support for student travel to CPS Week 2010 and the First International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS) to be held April 12-16, 2010 in Stockholm, SWEDEN and some start-up activities for the inaugural ICCPS. More specifically, the goals are three-fold: 1. Encourage attendance at CPS Week 2010 by students based in the US to listen to and learn from the keynote speeches, presentations, posters and demos on cutting-edge topics on cyber-physical systems. 2. Promote the robust growth of a research community in the nascent area of cyber-physical systems. 3. Support activities of the inaugural ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems, whose aim is to become a main forum for hosting original research which targets the inter-disciplinary nature of cyber-physical systems. The specific areas of interactions across embedded systems, hybrid systems, real-time systems and sensor networks are of interest in this forum.
