 Call for Papers:

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
