The First Australasian Workshop on Computation in Cyber-Physical Systems

You are invited to submit to and/or attend The First Australasian Workshop on Computation in Cyber-Physical Systems (CompCPS-2010).
We are organising this event here in Sydney, on the 15-16 July, in the Lecture Theatre at the CSIRO Marsfield site.

The name “cyber-physical system” (CPS) was chosen by the NSF and other United States federal agencies for systems that coherently combine computational and physical elements.

The CPS field builds up on knowledge and practical experiences of embedded systems, sensor networks, multi-robot teams, modular/swarm robotics, amorphous computing, programmable materials, evolvable/adaptive hardware, etc., and yet promise to form a unique field.

This Workshop will focus on distributed computation in CPS – the computation processes that integrate multiple data streams, compress and structure high-dimensional information, synchronise the distributed dynamics, adapt to topological changes within networks, optimise multiple sensorimotor loops, etc.

Several prominent invited speakers from Australia, Spain and USA will present different aspects of this rapidly developing research field.

Anyone interested in participating in the workshop is encouraged to submit a two-page extended abstract by May 16, 2010. Notifications will be sent by June 11, 2010 to all those who will be invited to the workshop. All accepted submissions will be allocated an oral presentation slot. See the Workshop Web Page for details.
