Call for Papers

Cyber physical system (CPS), a distributed, networked system that highly fuses computational processes with the physical devices, exhibits a multidisciplinary nature. In the context of CPS, wireless networking, sensing, computing and control advances have changed the way that society interacts with the physical world. As one of the typical applications of CPS, ground mobility is also being in a paradigm shift towards more efficient and intelligent transportation. Thus, vehicle-cyberphysical systems (V-CPS) become highly multidisciplinary and require an ever increasing integration of mechanical, electrical, electronic, control and information disciplines. This further offers ample prospects for the integration of various mechatronic components and subsystems, towards enhanced safety, sustainability and smartness of ground mobility. The aim of this special session is to compile recent research and development efforts contributing to advances in cyberphysical systems with their applications in vehicle electrification and intelligence. The special session will also welcome contributions addressing the state-of-the-art of V-CPS in associated developments, methodologies, and the perspectives on future developments and applications. High-quality articles are invited that explore this growing area and provide vision for future research activities.
