 Call for Papers:

a Special Issue of
IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC)
on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)  

IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) is seeking
original manuscripts for Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS),
scheduled to be published in the January  June 2013 issue. The
coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical
resources will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the
citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new
opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the
quality of life of the society as a whole. Research advances in
cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that
will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability,
autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability,
scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently
the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining
distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of
the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with
physical world.
Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas
and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid
technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of
electricity to consumers using digital communications and security
technologies, and intelligent monitoring and control of the delivery
network and electricity consumption b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and
networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart
sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, (ground, aerial, aquatic)
robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with
unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment
instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical and intelligent transportation
systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities
with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with
the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation; d) Smart
Living technologies: smart city (e.g. increasing security, comfort and
convenience, green energy), intelligent park and space, healthcare systems.
Ambient intelligence, context-awareness, data mining, embedded system and
software, evolutionary computation, modeling environments and human
behavior, social networks, big data, security, privacy and trust,
ubiquitous computing and other technologies and methodologies applied in
CPS are also welcome.
Towards merging the information-centric character and node-centric physical
world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and
experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable
of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various
parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Architectural framework for distributed CPS
Resource Management in large scale CPS
Evaluations and field trials of CPS and solutions Security, privacy,
scalability, and reliability issues
Design and cross-layer optimizations
Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems
Scalable monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones,
robots, and other wireless mobile devices
Smart Living and Smart grid technologies
Modeling and fault tolerance
