CyberPhysical Systems critically rely on an infrastructure that couples sensing, computation, networking and distributed control to reliably deliver services for a wide spectrum of application domains ranging from smart grids, smart buildings, health, transportation, to entertainment, among others. In this context, the notion of reliability/resilience varies vastly based on the domain context and the delivered services. For instance in the domain of deeply instrumented CyberPhysical Spaces, sensors and multimedia data capture technologies, coupled with mechanisms for low power wireless networking need to work reliably to deliver the ability to detect, monitor and respond to unusual events. Situational awareness of activities in the instrumented space applications require embedded sensors and data capture devices to digitally capture the state of the evolving physical systems and processes, requiring differential needs for resilience at multiple levels of abstraction. While the need for reliability/resilience in CPS is well recognized, its realization poses numerous challenges which are being actively pursued by the research communities in different disciplines ranging from embedded computing, networking, distributed systems, middleware, data management, software engineering, machine learning, to privacy and security. The purpose of this workshop is to serve as a multidisciplinary forum to bring researchers from diverse disciplines to discuss the state of the art, identify new emerging challenges and opportunities.

While the potential of sensor enabled situational awareness is well recognized, its realization poses numerous challenges which are being actively pursued by the research communities in different disciplines ranging from embedded computing, networking, distributed systems, middleware, data management, software engineering, machine learning, to privacy and security. On the application side, sensor enabled situational awareness forms a critical core for several of the emerging applications including environmental monitoring, Internet of Things and Cyber Physical Systems. The purpose of this workshop is to serve as a multidisciplinary forum to bring researchers from diverse disciplines to discuss the state of the art, identify new emerging challenges and opportunities. The workshop will comprise contributed and invited papers, a keynote and a panel on related topics.
