CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS
Cyber Physical Systems: Architectures, Protocols and Applications,
by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Groups, USA
Editors: Harold Liu and Yan Zhang
*******************************************************************************
The cyber-physical systems (CPS) represent an evolution in computerized
interconnectivity. Not only traditional computers, but also smart
autonomous devices will seamlessly interconnect via machine-to-machine
(M2M) technologies to provide and consume new classes of services such as
intelligent shopping, smart product management and home automation. Such
devices will largely include physical sensors and RFID tags embedded in
various hosts (e.g., vehicles, buildings, habitats, humans, utility grids,
containers, garments, smart phones, etc.), enabling constant analysis of
their environmental and operational states. Examples include real-time
supply chain monitoring, remote patient monitoring, and infrastructures
monitoring. Further goals include using such capabilities to enable highly
intelligent and responsive actuation, for example through dynamic public
transit scheduling or efficient and predictive utility (electricity, water)
management.
The book will be written for people interested in the CPS research,
development and implementations at all levels. The primary audience
includes senior undergraduates, postgraduates, educators, scientists,
researchers, developers, engineers, innovators and research strategists.
The book is about to be 1,000 pages and 16 chapters with each chapter 60
pages. It aims to systematically introduce the detailed design and
implementations of the architecture of CPS, and followed by its enabling
technologies, and then moves to describe a few emerging application
scenarios of CPS.
[Call for Book Chapter Contributions]:
Authors expected to contribute to an existing chapter from the suggested
outline should submit a 1-2 page letter by *15 June, 2013* to
chi... at ieee.org and yanzh... at ieee.org, clearly explaining the mission,
content, number of pages, and number of figures/tables of the chapter.
[Call for Book Chapter Proposals]:
We also strongly encourage other topics related to the theme of this book
yet not listed in the suggested outline. Authors should submit a 2-3 page

clearly identifying the title, abstract and descriptions that explaining
the mission, content, number of pages, and number of figures/tables of the
proposed chapter. In particular, the authors are welcome to propose other
promising applications of CPS like in smart grid, connected vehicles, smart
building, etc., besides those in the outline.
