International Symposium on Networked Cyber-Physical Systems

马里兰大学(UMD)系统研究所(ISR)将与德国慕尼黑工业大学(TUM)高级研究所(IAS)共同举办网络网络物理系统(CPS)国际研讨会。这是网络CPS新领域和新兴领域的第一次此类研讨会，暂定于2016年9月19-20日在慕尼黑工业大学(TUM)高级研究所(IAS)举行。计划每年举办一次研讨会，地点每年在慕尼黑的TUM和UMD的大学公园之间轮换。本次专题讨论会的目标是在国际一级建立联网合作伙伴关系新领域的合作。拟议的努力可能会产生更广泛的社会影响，因为它与新一代行业(即使用物联网(IoT))具有很强的相关性。涉及代表不足群体的培训、教育和劳动力发展将在这一新的发展中发挥关键作用，并将进行讨论。在这次研讨会上，来自多个国家(美国、德国、英国、瑞士、希腊和荷兰)的世界知名研究人员将确定关键的研究挑战，他们是与联网CPS跨学科领域相关的各种领域的专家。研讨会还将旨在探索一个非常重要的新兴领域的知识基础，由于其与新一代行业的强烈相关性，可能会产生巨大的全球和技术影响，即涉及所谓的物联网(IoT)。研讨会的结果将以报告的形式向公众公布。所要求的资金将主要用于支付全体会议和美国特邀发言者和研究人员的费用。

The Institute for Systems Research (ISR), at the University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, will organize an International Symposium on Networked Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) together with the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany. This first symposium of its kind in the new and emerging area of Networked CPS is to be held at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) tentatively on September 19-20, 2016. The plan is to have this Symposium on an annual basis, with the location alternating each year between TUM, Munich, and UMD, College Park. This symposium will aim at the establishment of collaboration in the new area of Networked CPS at an international level. The broader societal impact of the proposed effort is likely to be high due to its strong relevance to a new generation of industry, namely exploiting the Internet-of-Things (IoT). The training, education, and workforce development involving under-represented groups are going to play a critical role in this new development and will be discussed as well.At this workshop, the critical research challenges will be identified by world renowned researchers from several countries (USA, Germany, England, Switzerland, Greece, and The Netherlands), who are experts in a variety of fields related to the interdisciplinary area of Networked CPS. The workshop will also aim to explore the intellectual underpinnings of a highly important and emerging area, potentially having great global and technological impact due to its strong relevance to a new generation of industry, namely involving the so called the Internet-of-Things (IoT). The results of the workshop will be made available to the public in the form of a report. Requested funds will be used primarily to cover the expenses of plenary and invited speakers and researchers from the USA.
