Proposal Abstract Submission Deadline: May 15, 2017
INTRODUCTION
The new paradigms and tremendous advances in computing, communications and control have provided and supported wide range of applications in all domains of life, in particular, bridging the physical components and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use recent computing, communication, and control methods to design and operate intelligent and autonomous systems using cutting edge technologies. This requires the use of computing resources for sensing, processing, analysis, predicting, understanding of data, and then communication resources for interaction, intervention, interface management, and finally provide control for systems so that they can inter-operate, evolve, and run in a stable evidence-based environment. CPS has extraordinary significance for the future of several industrial domains and hence, it is expected that the complexity in CPS will continue to increase due to the integration of cyber components with physical and industrial systems.
Also, all chapters will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers and there is no publication fee. However, authors will be asked to submit a copyright transfer to IGI.
OBJECTIVE
This book will provide current researchers and students in the area of CPS with a comprehensive reference for recent and up-to-date technologies in communications, control, and networking issues in CPS.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Libraries and universities. Institutes with graduate students and researchers who are active in the area can be targeted.
