Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) integrate the executive ability of the physical world and the intelligence of the cyber world to add new
capabilities to real-world physical systems. Networked computing at multiple, sometimes extreme, scales plays a crucial rule in CPSs
as such systems use computation and communication deeply embedded in and interacting with physical processes to drive the cyber-physical
coupling. The theme of this workshop is to provide an open forum to discuss the scientific foundations, technologies, and research challenges
in Cyber-Physical Networking Systems (CPNSs), and to present an overarching view of state-of-the-art research and technological advances in CPNSs.
Specifically, this workshop will address CPNS methodologies, modeling, theory, protocols, systems, architectures, and implementations and emerging
CPNS technologies. The presentations will also feature industry representatives from prestigious R&D labs who will provide diverse views to facilitate
collaboration between academia and industry.
The Second International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Networking Systems (CPNS 2012) is a forum to bring together people from academia and
industry to explore research issues and challenges related to Cyber-Physical Networking Systems (CPNSs) and discuss innovative ideas and
promising cutting-edge solutions (methodologies, techniques and approaches) on diverse CPNS-related topics. This forum aims to help researchers
from academia and industry understand the broad, novel scope of CPNSs and grasp new thinking, challenges, and approaches underlying the issues,
technologies, and solutions exchanged from mutual communities.
The topics of interest for CPNS 2012 include, but not limited to, the following:
Theoretical foundations of CPNSs
Modeling and analysis of CPNSs
System-level designs and implementations of CPNSs
Evaluation approaches and metrics
Control issues in CPNS
Real-time services and QoS support in CPNSs
Wireless sensor networking in CPNSs
Mobile and participatory sensing
Internet of things in CPNSs
High-performance computing with CPNSs
Cloud computing with CPNSs
Security and privacy issues in CPNSs
Safety, fault tolerance, and robustness of CPNSs
Intelligent sensing and processing in CPNs
Networking issues in emerging CPNS applications including healthcare, transportation, automation, the environment, smart grid and so on.

CPNS 2012 will consider original papers not previously published or under review by other journals or conferences. All submissions will be peer
reviewed and evaluated according to their originality, significance, correctness, presentation, and relevance. The URL link for CPNS 2012 paper
submission will be available soon. Manuscripts will be limited to 6 pages following IEEE ICDCS conference proceedings style and guidelines.
Papers that present novel ideas, criticize existing work, and discuss practical studies and applications are especially encouraged. Accepted
papers will appear in IEEE Xplore and be EI indexed. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant
of the workshop to have the paper published in the proceedings. The expected number of submissions is 30 to 50, 10 to 15 of which will be accepted.
Paper Submission Deadline (Extended): March 12, 2012.
Workshop Author Notification: March 21, 2012
Workshop Camera-ready: Please contact ICDCS'12 Organizing Committee who are overseeing
the organization of ICDCS'12 (camera-ready version, registration, etc).
