The 2012 International Workshop on Technologies and Applications for
Cyber-Physical Systems (TACPS 2012)
http://web.ftrai.org/tacps2012 (TBA)
Gwangju, Korea, September 6-8, 2012
TACPS 2012 will be the most comprehensive workshop focused on advances
in technologies and applications for cyber physical system. Cyber
Physical System (CPS) is not a new field, but a new type of system
which is reflected physical characteristics to embedded system and
emphasized importance of controlling between systems are connected
each other through network. Components of CPS, e.g. controller,
sensor, actuator, and etc. should transmit the information to cyber
space through sensing the environment of real world in real-time, and
also they should reflect policy of cyber space to real world in
real-time. Therefore, many components of CPS should be available to
communicate each other. In addition, CPS consists of controller,
sensor, and actuator could reflect the information of cyber space to
real world through monitoring a variety of information and controlling
actuator in real-time. So, high reliability technology and application
are needed for accurate real-time control in CPS, and data encryption
is needed for confidentiality and integrity of data which is
transmitted over the network.
Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to: Real-time
Architectures for CPS; Real-time Control Techniques for CPS;
Communications and Networks for CPS; Middlewares for CPS; Applications
and Services for CPS; Interoperation Systems for CPS; Fault Tolerant
System for CPS; Security Issues suitable for CPS

Subject: Moncrief Endowed Faculty Positions, ICES, UT-Austin
The Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) at The
University of Texas at Austin is engaged in a comprehensive initiative
to bring advances in mathematical modeling and computer simulation to
bear on the scientific and engineering Grand Challenges of the 21st
century. In support of this goal, we are searching for outstanding
researchers in computational science, engineering, and mathematics to
fill endowed faculty positions at the Associate Professor level or
higher. Searches this year are focused on three areas: 1)
computational geophysical fluid dynamics, with particular interest in
ocean modeling; 2) structural bioinformatics, the computational
modeling of structure and function of biological macromolecules; and
3) the broad area of predictive science and uncertainty quantification
in computational science and engineering. Candidates for these
positions are expected to have an exceptional track record in
interdisciplinary research at the intersection of advanced
mathematical and computational techniques and target scientific and
engineering problems. The Moncrief endowed faculty positions will
provide the successful candidates with the resources and environment
needed to tackle frontier problems in science and engineering via
advanced modeling and simulation. For additional information and
application instructions, please see
