Elsevier Computer Communications: Special Issue on Convergence of Mobility, Networking, and Computing in Cyber-Physical Systems Scope: The convergence of cyber and physical spaces has transformed traditional embedded systems into cyber-physical systems (CPS), which are characterized by tight integration and coordination among computing, networking, and physical processes. Examples of CPS encompass a wide range of man-made systems such as avionics, healthcare, transportation, automation, and smart grid systems. In addition, the recent proliferation of smart phones and mobile Internet devices, equipped with multiple sensors, can be leveraged to enable mobile cyber-physical applications. In these systems, it is of critical importance to properly resolve the complex interactions between various computational and physical elements. This special issue aims to identify emerging research topics in CPS from the mobile communication and networking perspective. In particular, by properly addressing complex interactions between cyber and physical elements of CPS, we focus on challenging issues in networking that need to be resolved for deriving eventual working solutions for CPS. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Theoretical foundations of CPS * Modeling, analysis, and simulation of CPS * Architectures for CPS * Emerging CPS applications * Empirical case studies for CPS * Security and privacy in CPS * Energy-efficient design of CPS Tentative Schedule Submission deadline: March 21, 2011 Author notification: June 31, 2011 Revised paper due: July 31, 2011 Final author notification: September 15, 2011 Guest Editors Prof. Kyung-Joon Park Seoul National University, Seoul, Republic of Korea E-mail: kjp@snu.ac.kr Prof. Xue Liu University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska, USA E-mail: xueliu@cse.unl.edu Prof. Rong Zheng University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA E-mail: rzheng@cs.uh.edu Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Cyber-Physical Systems" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. |
