Workshop: From Embedded Systems to Cyber-Physical Systems: a Review of the State-of-the-Art and Research Needs

Monday, April 21, 2008

The workshop was held in conjunction with RTAS in St. Louis, MO at the Renaissance Grand Hotel in St. Louis

The CPS Workshop was sponsored in part by the European Community Artist Network of Excellence and COMBEST STREP.

EC ARTIST Network of Excellence   COMBEST STREP   CHESS

The theme of the workshop is presenting an overarching view of methodologies and theories for the design of embedded and critical systems as it has emerged in the past five years and discussing the future in terms of the extension of the notion of embedded systems to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). In the overview of the present status of the discipline, the workshop will address heterogeneous system composition, design methods based on abstraction and refinement, interface theories, mapping of abstract entities to implementation platforms and industrial applications. The presentations will also feature industry representatives who will give their perspective of what are the gaping holes in the state of the art in their business segment and how to bridge academic accomplishments with industrial practice. The discussion about the extension of the theories and methodologies to the new generation of CPS will review the necessary steps and a possible roadmap for research. The discussion will also include public research organizations. European Community representatives will provide the state-of-the-art and the research initiatives on embedded systems in the EU.

Workshop Organizers:

  • Tom Henzinger (Berkeley, EPFL)
  • Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli (Berkeley)
  • Jonathan Sprinkle (University of Arizona)
  • Janos Sztipanovits (Vanderbilt)

    • The program of the workshop is below:
