[TYPES/announce] CyPhy'19 Call for Papers -- Extended Deadline

Sat Jun 15 11:17:43 EDT 2019

The Ninth International Workshop on Model-Based Design of Cyber-Physical
Systems (CyPhy’19)
www.cyphy.org

Part of ESWeek (www.esweek.org) in NYC, NY. The conference will take place
at the Kimmel Center for University Life.

Call for Papers -- Extended Deadline

Model-Based Design of Cyber-Physical Systems (CyPhy'19) takes a broad
interpretation of the area and aims to facilitate the timely consolidation
and sharing of new knowledge from its diverse sub-disciplines.
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) integrate computing and communication
capabilities into physical systems and are therefore an important domain
for innovation, encompassing robotics; smart homes, buildings, and mobility
solutions; medical implants; drones, and numerous others. CPSs are also the
medium through which next-generation Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning applications will be deployed, and are a growing source of big
data. CyPhy'19 brings together researchers and practitioners working on
next-generation technologies for modeling, development, analysis,
simulation, optimization, evaluation, and deployment of CPSs.

This year, Professor Edward A. Lee (UC Berkeley) will give the invited talk.

Important Dates

Abstract submission August 12th, 2019
Paper deadline August 16th, 2019
Notifications September 6th, 2019
Camera-ready October 25th, 2019
Workshop October 17-18th, 2019

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Case studies and applications: Experience and case studies in the
development of industrial and/or research-oriented cyber-physical systems
in domains such as smart mobility, health innovation, medical and
healthcare devices, smart homes, emerging communication and networking
technologies (for example 5G and 6G), Internet-of-Things,

* Methods: Systematic, rigorous, and set-based methods for modeling,
implementation, simulation, optimization, manufacturing, testing, and
verification of cyber-physical systems; model-based engineering, systems
engineering; the use of formal verification and reachability analysis
tools; counterexample-guided abstraction refinement (CEGAR), safe/verified
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML),

* Tools: New tool technologies, evaluations of novel research tools,
extensive case studies and industrial experiences, comparisons of state of
the art tools in realistic contexts, and

* Foundations: Domain-specific languages (DSLs) including hybrid automata,
hybrid process calculi, and differential games; models of computation;
multi-domain modeling languages; correctness of implementations, interval
computation and validated numerical methods; experimental model validation.

Submission Types and Proceedings

Three types of papers will be solicited and evaluated: 1) research papers,
2) advanced tutorials, and 3) tool demonstrations. Papers are expected to
be around 15-25 pages long in LNCS format.

* Research papers will be evaluated according to the traditional standards
of novelty, technical contribution, clarity, and overall quality of
presentation. Such papers may contain theoretical results, experimental
results, or cases studies that go beyond the scope of what prior art has
been able to address. Research papers may also address open problems. Such
papers will be evaluated based on the extent to which these problems were
not articulated previously and the extent to which they are clear and
actionable. Research papers may also be surveys. Such papers will be
evaluated based on their timeliness, the absence of comparable surveys, how
comprehensive they are, and the extent to which they organize existing
information in a useful manner.

* Advanced tutorials will be evaluated based on the extent to which they
make it clear that there is a need for expository material on this subject,
that there is currently a shortage of such material, the technical depth of
the material covered, and the accessibility and overall quality of the
presentation.

* Tool demonstrations will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the
presentation of the tool, the extent to which the tool can address problems
that are currently much more difficult or impossible by existing tools, and
the accessibility and overall quality of the presentation.

As with previous years, the proceedings are expected to be published in the
Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. To
maximize the benefit from the workshop, authors will be asked to first
prepare a camera-ready copy of accepted papers before the meeting, and to
submit a revised version that takes into account workshop feedback after
the meeting.

Submission

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair web site:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=cw19

Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS Style:
https://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Papers should be submitted in PDF. Except for regular research papers, the
paper category must be indicated at the end of the title in parenthesis at
the time of the initial submission and in the final camera-ready version.

Simultaneous submission to other venues with a formal publication
(workshops, conferences, symposia, and journals) is not allowed. Duplicated
submissions or other types of plagiarism will result in rejection and a
report will be sent to the corresponding institution's dean or manager.

Papers not adhering to the format or page limit may be rejected without a
review.
