6th Workshop on Monitoring And Testing Of Cyber-physical Systems
MT-CPS 2021

Part of CPS-IoT Week 2021
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Cyber-physical systems (CPS) model the integration of computational
modules, like decision logic, with physical phenomena in the environment,
such as the phenomenon being controlled by the logic. Several CPS
applications, such as self-driving cars and other autonomous
ground/aerial/underwater vehicles, medical devices, surgical robots, as
well as many Internet of Things (IoT) applications, particularly for
Industrial IoT or Industry 4.0, are safety-critical, where human lives can
be at stake. CPS exhibit complex and unpredictable behaviors, thus making
their correctness and robustness analysis a challenging task. Given the gap
between the complexity of such systems and the scalability of current
formal methods, exhaustive formal verification remains an elusive goal.
However, simulation-based lightweight verification techniques, such as
monitoring and testing, achieve both rigor and efficiency by enabling the
evaluation of systems according to the properties of their exemplar!
  behaviors. The Workshop on Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical
Systems (MT-CPS) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
interested in the problems of detecting, testing, measuring, and extracting
qualitative and quantitative properties from individual behaviors of CPS.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Specification languages for monitoring and testing
* Runtime verification and monitoring of CPS
* Model/Software/Hardware/Processor-in-the-loop (MIL/SIL/HIL/PIL) testing
* Testing the integration of heterogeneous components
* Monitoring and testing of streaming and/or historical IoT data
* Interpretation of multi-dimensional counter-examples
* Black-box and white-box testing
* Measuring and statistical information gathering for data-driven analyses
* Simulation-based verification and parameter synthesis
* Fault diagnostics, localization, and recovery
* Combination of static and dynamic analysis
* Applications and case studies from safety-critical domains


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop format


MT-CPS is intended to be a forum for exchanging the latest scientific
activity and emerging trends between researchers and practitioners. We
encourage submission of abstracts that address any of the aforementioned
topics of interest and cover recently published or work in progress. In
addition to the contributed material, the workshop will include a
combination of invited talks from leading researchers and/or practitioners
from industry, academia, and government research labs around the world.
The workshop is intended to be an informal gathering about latest results
and, as such, it will not have formal proceedings. However, we will make
accepted abstracts and presentation material publicly available on the
website of the workshop.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important Dates:
* Abstract submission deadline: March 18, 2021 23:59pm (AoE)
* Notification: April 19, 2020
* Final version: May 4, 2020
* Workshop: May 18, 2020
