International Symposium on Networked Cyber-Physical Systems

位于大学园区的马里兰州大学（UMD）的系统研究所（ISR）将与德国慕尼黑技术大学（TUM）高级研究所（IAS）一起组织一次网络化信息物理系统（CPS）国际研讨会。这是第一次在新兴的网络CPS领域举行的研讨会，将于2016年9月19日至20日在慕尼黑工业大学（TUM）的高级研究院（IAS）举行。计划是每年举行一次研讨会，地点每年在慕尼黑的TUM和大学公园的UMD之间交替。本次研讨会的目的是在国际层面上建立网络CPS新领域的合作。由于其与新一代行业（即利用物联网（IoT））的密切相关性，拟议工作的更广泛的社会影响可能很高。在这一新的发展中，涉及代表性不足群体的培训、教育和劳动力发展将发挥关键作用，并将进行讨论。在这次研讨会上，来自几个国家的世界知名研究人员将确定关键的研究挑战。（美国、德国、英国、瑞士、希腊和荷兰），他们是与网络CPS跨学科领域相关的各个领域的专家。研讨会还将探讨一个非常重要和新兴领域的知识基础，由于其与新一代行业的密切相关性，即涉及所谓的物联网（IoT），因此可能具有巨大的全球和技术影响。讲习班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应邀来自美国的演讲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.
