CYBER PHYSICAL PRODUCTION SYSTEMS: THEORY AND PRACTICES (CPPS-2018)

*CYBER PHYSICAL PRODUCTION SYSTEMS: THEORY AND PRACTICES (CPPS-2018)*

*November 5-8, 2018, Leuven, Belgium*



*Organized by:*

CESI Research/LINEACT
CESI High Engineering School



*Aims:*

Industry 4.0 is the new generation of manufacturing systems called
Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) that are able to face the current
economic and societal challenges. Its implementation is based on a set of
new manufacturing technologies (IoT and Industrial IoT, Robotics and
Cobotics, Augmented/Virtual Reality, Additive Manufacturing, Cloud
Manufacturing …), data collection, storage and analysis, and digital twin
(Digital Factory, Simulation and Decision Tools …). In general, CPPS are
complex due to the composition and the combination of the system’s
components: digital, software, and physical elements. The physical parts
are connected to a network, which is controlled by software components or,
sometimes, manually. Examples of such systems can be found in
manufactories, avionics, automotive systems, nuclear power plants, etc.

Interoperability, safety, reliability, maintenance and security aspects of
CPPS is challenging due to the inherent complexity of CPPS. Moreover, it is
not sufficient to ascertain one aspect of the individual components in
isolation: faults and threats in CPPS systems could also be due to the
interaction between the physical, digital and software parts of CPPS.
Therefore, the system must be studied as a whole, which sets this emerging
discipline apart from these individually established fields. CPPS-2018
event provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and
industry to discuss how to address the increasing the issues challenges
facing CPPS.



*Scope:*

CPPS-2018 invites submissions discussing the employment of data-driven,
model-based, and statistical approaches in CPPS. Topics of either
theoretical, empirical or applied interest include, but are not limited to:

• Modeling CPPS (formalmodels, UML, SysML, ADAAL, etc).
• Formal methods for CPPS (abstraction, compositional verification, model
checking, theorem proving, simulation, testing, etc)
• Decision making process in CPPS
• IoT architecture and protocol for CPPS
• Design safe, reliable, and secure CPPS
• Data collection, extraction and analysis in CPPS
• Safety, reliability, and Risk analysis techniques for CPPS
• Threat modeling for CPPS
• Security requirements specification, Security policies and access control
for CPPS
• Human aspects and robot interactions in CPPS
• Case studies, tools, and experimental results for CPPS
