The DeCPS 2017 will be held on 16 June 2017, Vienna, Austria.

Co-located with the 22nd International Conference on Reliable Software
Technologies Ada-Europe

In recent years, the Internet-of-things has experienced an extraordinary
development with a broad impact on society, however, there is still a gap
between the physical world and the cyber one. This has been made possible
by rapid advances in the information and communication technologies, in
parallel with highly sophisticated embedded systems. As a consequence, the
way systems are engineered needs to be changed, as cyber and physical
systems cannot be considered disconnected anymore. Cyber Physical Systems
(CPS) constitute a new class of engineered systems, integrating software
control and decision making with signals from an uncertain and dynamic
environment. Internet transformed the way people interact and deal with
information. CPS technology transformed the way people interact with
engineered systems.

The interest in Cyber Physical Systems research has tremendously increased
in the last five years, as proved by the considerable attention that
funding agencies and programs, namely National Science Foundation (NSF) and
H2020, devote to the field. On the other hand United States of America has
placed CPS on the top of the priority list for federal research investment
since 2008, (report of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and
Technologies (PCAST)). Challenges addressed are adaptability, scalability,
resiliency, dependability, and usability. CPS are considered a disruptive
technologie which will transform the traditional manufacturing into
Industry 4.0 solutions, and are used in a very wide spectrum of
applications: smart mobility, autonomous driving, digital healthcare, smart
grids and buildings, digital consumer products and services. ''In
conclusion, the emerging Digital (R)-evolution relies heavily on Embedded
Intelligent Systems technologies in domains where it is paramount that
Europe takes leadership role'' (Laila Gide, ''The pathway to digital
transformation: an opportunity for Europe'', ARTEMIS Magazine 20 May 2016).

The explosive growth of the world's population and of the related people
connectivity poses the challenge to design and develop enhanced mobility
and transportation options for sustainable and intelligent solutions like
autonomous vehicles, sharing transport systems, connected roads with
embedded sensors, smart traffic systems, and improved services to the
users. AENEAS Strategic Agenda 2016/17 shares the following visions for
Automotive and Transport:

   - Autonomous and zero - accidents driving based on highly reliable and
   affordable electronic systems and components. Technologies for new ways of
   interacting between driver and car.
   - Cars will become IoT devices and will connect with other IoT-devices,
   as e.g. road infrastructure, buildings, other cars, other models of
   transport (train, metro, ships, planes, ets.), vulnerable road users, etc.
   A key challenge will be the protection of the privacy of the driver and the
   security aspects when a car becomes an element in the cloud.
   - Needs-based, user-friendly, affordable and sustainable electric
   vehicles embedded in a flexible and smart mobility infrastructure satisfy
   the need for individual mobility. Need for non-fossil-powered vehicles and
   different technologies to reduce the CO2 footprint. Nanoelectronics and
   embedded systems will provide essential features.

Scope

The workshop will gather together industrial practitioners and researchers
in the topics of interest which include, but are not limited to:

   - * Vehicle of the Future *
   - * Transport and Mobility *
   - * Industry 4.0 in transportation sector *
   - * Security and comfort of the end-user *
   - * Human/Machine Interaction *

DeCPS promotes * gender equality * in research and innovation. The
strength-in-depth represented by the female scientists in our team will
hopefully inspire a new generation of women to pursue an interest in
science as a career. Some of the expected impacts are:

   - Increase the participation of women in research, improve their careers
   and achieve gender balance in decision making.
   - Increase the scientific quality and societal relevance of produced
   knowledge, technologies and innovations by integrating an in-depth
   understanding of both genders needs, behaviors and attitudes. It also
   contributes to the production of goods and services better suited to
   potential markets.
