CyPress: 6th Workshop on Sofware Techniques for Engineering Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) refer to systems comprising of software components, physical components and social entities which monitor, control, and coordinate processes within a physical environment. CPSs apply to a wide range of mission-critical applications that span from the intelligent management of logistics in complex supply chains, advanced manufacturing systems and smart contracts, all the way to autonomous systems, and systems that support the smart interactions between humans and machines (M2H), or between machines (M2M). In this respect, the engineering of CPSs goes beyond existing Software Engineering concepts, tools and techniques because of the very nature of CPSs that spans three realms (cyber, physical, social) and therefore need to address requirements that span these realms.

The workshop aims to bring together leading researchers, as well as experts from software and hardware companies and technology receptors to discuss and debate the latest developments in software engineering techniques for specifying, building, testing, deploying and evolving Cyber-Physical Systems.

CyPress welcomes work grounded in real cyber-physical use cases, including model-driven engineering, collaborative human–machine and machine–machine systems, smart contracts, predictive maintenance, security, and regulatory compliance. We are especially interested in approaches that connect modelling, data platforms, cloud and distributed systems, digital twins, adaptive architectures, and trustworthy AI. The workshop is a place to share practical challenges, exchange reusable techniques, and build collaborations across software engineering, distributed systems, data management, and AI.
