--------- CPS Track in WETICE'14 CFP --------- =================================================================== Call for Papers - CPS 2014 4th Track on Capacity driven Processes and Services for Cyber Physical Society (CPS) http://events.telecom-sudparis.eu/cps/ June, 23rd-25th, 2014 University Campus Parma - Italy In conjunction with WETICE'14 23th IEEE International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises http://cmt.dmi.unipr.it/wetice14/ =================================================================== Along with the stronger capability of computing devices and the cheaper and faster communication networks, computing will be embedded in all types of physical resources, and applications with big societal impact and economic benefit will be created in time and across space. The tight conjoining of, and coordination between, computational (or cyber) and physical resources for achieving this kind of applications are the objectives of cyber physical systems. Generally, cyber physical systems feature a tight integration between computation, communication, and control in their operation and interactions with the task environment in which they are deployed. The concept of capability, that is the semantics of an action or specific functionality, is therefore a cornerstone in modern cyber physical society, especially those service or process aware. Dedicated techniques for capability management and engineering can be applied and reused in a large number of areas such as SOA, BPM, Clo ud Computing and Internet of Things and will certainly boost several related research efforts in these areas. While the cyber physical society describes the future environment of collaboration, nowadays, service oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) are coined to specify how the computational resources can coordinate and collaborate, and (wireless) sensor networks (SNs) provide means to sensing the physical resources and interconnecting physical and cyber resources. Leveraging existing techniques (SOA, BPM, and SNs, for instance) for achieving the vision of cyber physical society is promising. The core scientific problems include the scalability, heterogeneity, integration, security, and the dynamics of the underlying infrastructures. The data management, as well as the semantic interoperability, in the cyber physical society is also posing a great challenge. Many key techniques for service and process engineering involve capability-based engineering at first. However, despite the importance of this concept, it has not been treated as a first-class citizen and has always been hidden behind other encompassing concepts such as the notions of service and business process. Capability management and engineering techniques need to deal with several research problems that arise in different contexts. These problems include, among others, capability complexity, different levels of abstraction and granularity, and capability configurability and dynamicity. This track aims at shedding the light on the importance of capability engineering as well as at bringing together researchers and practitioners working in capability engineering to achieve the vision of cyber physical society by means of current techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scopes: * Capability Engineering in Cyber physical systems * Capability description, modeling, matching and composition * Capability catalogues/repositories: organisation, navigation and visualisation * Non Functional properties of capabilities in cyber physical society * Heterogeneous resources integration for SOA/BPM/SNs in Capability-based cyber physical society * Semantic interoperability for SOA/BPM/SNs in Capability-based cyber physical society * Semantic web for the Collaboration in Capability-based cyber physical society * Semantic data management in the sensor networks/cyber physical society * Service oriented computing in Capability-based cyber physical society * Business process management in Capability-based cyber physical society * Sensor networks in Capability-based cyber physical society * Capability-based application classification and indexing * SOA, BPM and SNs for Capability-based pervasive systems * Ontologies and vocabularies for domain-specific capabilities * Capability-based cloud computing management Submission Guidelines Papers should be submitted in the English Language, in the PDF format and in conformance with IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines format. Instructions for authors are available at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting. Two types of papers can be submitted: Regular papers, with a size, from 6 pages, describing mature and complete work. Short papers, with a size from 3 pages, describing a work in progress that is soon going to reach a mature stage. Papers have to present original research contributions and must not have been submitted elsewhere. All papers will be evaluated through a rigorous peer-review process, based on originality, scope (relevance to the workshop), and technical quality. Authors must upload their paper as PDF file using the EasyChair submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wetice2014. The review process will be a double-blinded peer-review. Proceedings and Special Journal Issue All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of "Wertice 2014", published by IEEE. Selected papers will be considered for extension and publication in a special issue of a journal.
