Focus

This call for papers invites submissions focusing on the cutting-edge developments in data-driven wireless connectivity, poised to transform monitoring, control, and efficiency within cyber-physical systems (CPS). Papers should offer innovative, interdisciplinary strategies utilizing data to enhance sensing, control, and resource allocation across interconnected systems. Papers should present original research that tackles the evolving demands of contemporary industrial CPS, emphasizing reliability, sustainability, and resilience against disruptions, thus paving the way for further technological breakthroughs in this domain.

Topics under this session include (but not limited to)

  • Resilient learning methods to deal with communication failures and incomplete data streams, including, but not limited to
  • Resilience against system failures such as transmission failures, channel distortion, or asynchronization
  • Security against malicious actors, for example, malicious data injection, deliberate signal distortion, etc.
  • Novel edge computing solutions to enable scalable interactions between distributed industrial cyber-physical systems, including
