Workshop on Cyber - Physical Social Systems 2019 in conjunction with ACM IoT 2019 -

22-25/10/2019 - Bilbao (Spain)

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are related to the integration of computing and communication capabilities into physical systems. An example of CPSs is the smart city model, which is growing around the prototype of an urban (physical) environment with a new generation of innovative services for transportation, energy distribution, healthcare, environmental monitoring, business, emergency response, and social activities developed in its digital twins.

Smart cities are also an example of how CPSs must include the presence of people, which can’t be neglected in the loop of producing, collecting and consuming data, information and services. Enabling the technology for such a setting requires a viewpoint of smart Cities as system of cyber-physical and social systems (CPSSs) which are the result of the integration of several technologies that cooperate to provide seamless services to end users. Such technologies enable the collection, storage, and processing of massive amount of data gathered from the environment and/or produced by citizens themselves. Social interactions amongst participants are promoted as well.

CPSS 2019 wants to present innovative research trends and to explore new challenges in the field of smart cities as a system of cyber – physical systems crossed with the social perspective. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, smart city operators and industries working in the field in order to cross-fertilize theoretical and practical aspects.
