                       IEEE/ACM Second International
                Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS)

                             April 11-14, 2011
                          Chicago, Illinois, USA 
                           http://www.iccps.org/ 
     In conjunction with CPS Week - http://cpsweek2011.cs.illinois.edu/ 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sponsored by the 
     IEEE Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems (TCRTS)
     ACM Special Interest Group on Embedded Systems (SIGBED)

Cyber-physical systems are systems with a tight coupling of the cyber 
aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of 
dynamics and engineering that must abide by the laws of physics. The 
objective of this conference is to be a primary forum for reporting state-
of-the-art advances and innovations in theoretical principles, tools, 
applications, systems infrastructure, and testbeds for cyber-physical 
systems.  

Contributions should emphasize the cross-cutting, system-wide themes. 
Sectors of applicability include, but not be limited to, transportation 
(automotive, aerospace, marine, rail), SCADA systems (electricity 
generation including smart grids and the like, other utilities), smart 
physical infrastructure (smart bridges, buildings and highways), energy 
efficiency (energy-aware buildings), environmental monitoring, defense 
systems, intelligent medical devices, tele-operations and robotics. 

Submissions must report results from original research and not have been 
submitted to or published in other conferences or journals. Submissions 
must be a maximum of 10 pages, in 2-column format, and use font sizes of 
no less than 10 pt. Instructions for submission can be found at:

http://www.iccps.org. 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Theoretical foundations of CPS
- Modeling, Analysis and Synthesis Techniques
- Architectures for Cyber-Physical Systems
- Building blocks for Cyber-Physical Systems
- Systems Abstractions, Services and OS Support
- Evaluation approaches and metrics
- Novel CPS applications
- Detailed Case Studies
