Third International Workshop on Software Engineering for

Cyber-Physical-Social Systems 2018

in Hakone (CPSS-2018-Hakone)

20-22 December 2018
Hakone, Japan

The Workshop

As the Internet of Things becomes part of our every day lives, forming a complex system that spans across digital, physical and social boundaries, there are significant challenges to engineering the software that forms the core of these cyber-physical-social systems. These include:

  • Dynamic composition and evolution of systems of systems

  • Ensuring security, privacy and trust

  • Enabling M2M, M2P and P2P collaboration (M=machine; P=person)

  • Knowledge representation and reasoning techniques

  • Human factors relating to the design, construction and use of CPSSs

  • Transparency engineering for CPSSs

  • CPSSs for Smart-City/Home/Building

  • Dependable Machine-learning based Systems

  • Adaptive systems

  • Analytical methods for design and construction of CPSSs

The workshop brings together a community of software engineers whose work relates to the above challenges, with the aim of exploring potential research directions and collaborations.

Marin Litoiu

PhD, PEng

Associate Professor
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Lassonde School of Engineering
School of Information Technology, LAPS

Short Bio. Marin Litoiu is Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and in the School of Information Technology, York University. He leads the Adaptive Software Research Lab and focuses on making large software systems more versatile, resilient, energy-efficient, self-healing and self-optimizing. His research won many awards including the IBM Canada CAS Research Project of the Year Award,  the IBM CAS Faculty Fellow of the Year Award for his “impact on IBM people, processes and technology,” three Best Paper Awards and one Most Influential Paper Award.  Prior to joining York University, Dr. Litoiu was a Research Staff member with the Centre for Advanced Studies in the IBM Toronto Lab where he led the research programs in software engineering and autonomic computing. He received the Canada NSERC Synergy Award for Innovation in recognition for these collaborative university/industry activities. He was also recipient of the IBM Outstanding Technical Contribution Award for his research vision on Cloud Computing. Dr. Litoiu   is one of the founders of the SEAMS Symposium series—ACM/IEEE Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems and the Chair of the SEAMS Steering Committee. He has been the General Chair of SEAMS in 2013, and also serves on the steering committees of IEEE MESOCA and CASCON.  Dr. Litoiu is also member of IEEE CS Conference Advisory Committee and Vice-chair of IEEE Technical Council on Software Engineering.
