活动简介
Due to the proliferation of Information and Communication (ICT) and Internet Technologies, the manufacturing industry is undergoing substantial transformations. The emerging so-called Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) which are basically smart networked (embedded) technical systems consisting of sensors, actuators, and controllers within physical structures lead to an innovation jump from mechatronic to self-optimizing systems which collect and analyze information from the environment and thereby are able to adapt to changing contexts or requirements of users. The application of CPS for the domain of industrial production leads to the term Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS). While CPS can be employed in many different areas (e.g., ambient assisted living, smart buildings, smart grids, smart cities), CPPS are a basic building blocks to realize Smart Factories.
The aforementioned disruptive innovation step is a substantial advancement, not only in terms of hardware but especially in terms of the software and services used within production environments. Manufacturing processes of the future are more than ever required to be highly flexible and dynamic in order to satisfy customer demands for, e.g., large series production, mass customization, or changing orders. The organizations are also changing and manufacturing companies are not only part of sequential, long-term supply chains, but also part of (potentially) extensive manufacturing networks which require agile collaboration between partners. By integrating hardware and software, CPPS enable feedback loops – physical processes and computations have effects on each other and allow bidirectional control and data flow.
Within the inaugural International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS 2016), which will take place as part of the CPSWeek 2016 in Vienna, we will give researchers a platform for presenting their ideas in this upcoming field, including, but not limited to, research on Smart Factories, Factories of the Future, and Industry 4.0 topics. The CPPS workshop is explicitly multi-disciplinary, bringing together experts from various fields. We foster a multi-disciplinary approach based on the symbiosis of informatics and engineering sciences.

The topics to be covered in the workshop will range across the complete CPPS lifecycle, including, but not limited to the following topics:
- End-to-End Interoperability: CPPS comprise technologically heterogeneous components which are not necessarily compatible. In order to fully exploit CPPS intra- and cross-organizationally, interoperability needs to be realized. Specific research topics include syntactic and semantic data modelling and data integration for CPPS, knowledge representation, virtualization of CPPS functionalities and services, standardization of CPPS protocols and data models, and suitable middleware which is able to provide the necessary connectivity and interoperability of potentially world-wide distributed CPPS.
- System Design of CPPS: CPPS are complex systems and are indeed a perfect example for Systems of Systems, since they are composed from different layers. Hence, engineers and computer scientists need to be supported in designing CPPS in terms of both hardware and software. Specific research topics include user-centric modelling methods and tools for CPPS, virtual engineering support for CPPS, hardware/software co-design, verification, validation and testing, reference architectures, and architecture principles.
- Realization of Self-X Functionalities: The CPPS of the future will be able to provide self-x functionalities in the sense of smart systems or applicable for a smart factory, most importantly self-organization, self-optimization, self-configuration, self-healing, and self-protection. All these functionalities take into account the context of (a group of) CPPS and react accordingly to this context, facilitating the adaptive autonomic behavior of CPPS. Specific research topics include data exploitation for self-x, ad hoc integration and linking of CPPS, strategies and algorithms for anticipatory/proactive system behavior, or layer-crossing integration of self-x actions.
- Basic Technological Foundations: Since CPPS are integrated and networked systems, there is also a need for research in basic technologies. This includes self-organizing communication infrastructures, security and privacy, real-time sensor/actuator technologies, sensor sharing/fusion, fault tolerant systems, or machine learning.
