Dear Colleagues

You are invited to submit to and/or attend The First Australasian 
Workshop on Computation in Cyber-Physical Systems (CompCPS-2010):
<http://www.prokopenko.net/CompCPS-2010.html>http://www.prokopenko.net/CompCPS-2010.html
to be held on 15-16 July, in Marsfield Lecture Theatre at CSIRO Marsfield site.

The name "cyber-physical system" (CPS) was chosen by the NSF and 
other United States federal agencies for systems that coherently 
combine computational and physical elements.

The CPS field builds up on knowledge and practical experiences of 
embedded systems, sensor networks, multi-robot teams, modular/swarm 
robotics, amorphous computing, programmable materials, 
evolvable/adaptive hardware, etc., and yet promise to form a unique 
field.

This Workshop will focus on distributed computation in CPS - the 
computation processes that integrate multiple data streams, compress 
and structure high-dimensional information, synchronise the 
distributed dynamics, adapt to topological changes within networks, 
optimise multiple sensorimotor loops, etc.

Several prominent invited speakers from Australia, Spain and USA will 
present different aspects of this rapidly developing research field.

Anyone interested in participating in the workshop is encouraged to 
submit a two-page extended abstract by May 16, 2010. Notifications 
will be sent by June 11, 2010 to all those who will be invited to the 
workshop. All accepted submissions will be allocated an oral 
presentation slot.

The workshop is registration-free and is open to researchers in 
Cyber-Physical Systems. If you are interested in submitting and/or 
attending, please reply/submit-an-abstract by email to 
<mailto:mikhail.prokopenko at csiro.au>mikhail.prokopenko at csiro.au. 
Following the Workshop, a formal call for papers will be issued for a 
special journal issue.

Regards,
CompCPS-2010 Program Committee
