Overview:
********************
Future generation wireless systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are networked, organized, configured, optimized, and recovered automatically based on their operating situation. With the emergence of software defined networks, context awareness and dynamic adaptive services and application are gaining much attention since they allow automatic configuration of devices and their parameters, systems, services, and applications to user's context change. In addition, context awareness, with the help of software defined and cognitive systems, allows customization of operating parameters of devices, users, applications, and networks based on the current context. Such systems are playing an increasingly prevalent and important role in this electronic era such as healthcare, manufacturing, civil infrastructure, aerospace, entertainment, transportation and many automated physical systems. Cloud has infinite resources for computing for context-aware cognitive networks. Clo!
ud-assisted will not only enhance p
erformance of context-aware cognitive networks itself but also process, analyze and manage big data efficiently.

********************************************************************

Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of computing, communications and control to provide wide range of applications in all domains. This advancement provides the opportunities to bridge the physical components/processes and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use computing (sensing, analyzing, predicting, understanding, etc.), communication (interaction, intervene, interface management, etc.) and control (inter-operate, evolve, evidence-based certification, etc.) to make intelligent and autonomous systems. Such systems are playing an increasingly prevalent and important role in this electronic era such as healthcare, manufacturing, civil infrastructure, aerospace, entertainment, transportation and many automated physical systems. Computing and networking are two major components of CPS and Cloud has infinite resources for both. Cloud-integrated CPS will not only enhance CPS itself but also process, analyze!
and manage (CPS) big data efficien
tly. However, there are many issues and hurdles of Cloud-integrated CPS that need discussions.

Our aim is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present their research results in the area of Cloud-integrated Cyber-Physical Systems. The proposed workshop CloudCPS-2014 will serve as a forum for researchers from academia, government and industries to exchange ideas, present new results and provide future visions on these topics.

Topics of interest include but not limited to:

- Cloud-CPS Architecture
- Cloud-CPS Modeling and Simulation
- Virtualization of Physical Components in Cloud-CPS
- Design and Performance Optimization in Cloud-CPS
- Cloud-assisted Situation-aware and decision support
- Big-data Processing and Visualization in Cloud-CPS
- Mobile Cloud-CPS
- Game Theory for Cloud-CPS
- Tools and Methods for Cloud-CPS
- Sensor-actuator Networks
- Security, Privacy, and Trust in Cloud-CPS
- Intelligent (Road/Air) Transportation Cloud-CPS

Scope:
======

Over the years, we have witnessed the merging of wireless communications
and transportation technologies. This excellent combination of two
important fields has propelled our capabilities even further, allowing
us to communicate anytime and anywhere, thereby improving the traffic
safety, reducing the travel costs, and increasing our life quality
tremendously.
Once the new Intelligent Transportation Systems are deployed, our roads
and highways will be able to provide enhanced services to users through
the combination of V2X and cellular communications, thus completely
revolutionizing when and how we communicate, commute, and navigate, in
the coming future.
Under such conditions, several issues remain open in the field on
vehicular networking, including message dissemination in congested
environments, Quality of Service (QoS), efficient and adaptive routing,
MAC layer enhancements, mobility prediction, efficient handovers, and
also in Intelligent Transportation Systems, such as efficient road
traffic managing, optimal emergency services operation, etc.
This workshop is soliciting original technical papers addressing the
main research challenges in the vehicular networking and the intelligent
transportation systems area.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope:

- Wireless vehicular networking
- Congestion and admission control in dense vehicular networks
- Content distribution in wireless vehicular environments
- Smartphone/vehicle integration
- Service oriented architectures, service portability, P2P
- Cooperative sensing of road conditions
- Network and system architectures for mobile vehicular computing
- DSRC/WAVE communications. DSRC alternatives and supporting technologies
- Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc.
- Cross-layer protocol design
- Statistical analysis, prediction and management of vehicular mobility
- Multimedia communications in vehicular scenarios
- Models, simulators and tools for vehicular environments
- Communications for safety of vulnerable road users
- Communications for automated driving
