** ENHANCE @ HiPEAC 2022 **



This workshop is part of a three day segment in HiPEAC 2022 (https://www.hipeac.net/2022/budapest/#/) with spotlights

on bridging between contributing communities of Cyber-Physical Systems. Comprising ENHANCE, FORECAST & STEADINESS, the

Segment overview is presented in the programs tab. 



ENHANCE encourages participation from enabling technology communities including IoT, AI and Big Data. Product-side and

market influencers, such as from product-lines and policy making, are also invited to participate.



** WORKSHOP FOCUS & TOPICS OF INTEREST **



Cyber-physical systems (CPS) have been adopted in many industrial sectors thanks to development of several new enabling

technologies both on software and hardware side. Examples of topics advancing CPS are: Artificial Intelligence, model-driven

software engineering, formal modelling and verification, wireless communication, novel embedded and Edge controllers. These

technologies are evolving at a fast pace. Nonetheless dependability is a “must have” requirement and we must prove that the 

CPS life cycle is always compliant with it. As CPS become more prominent across the globe, building trustworthy CPS and CPS 

of Systems (CPSoS) is paramount.



Therefore, the workshop seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical cutting-edge solutions to advance the 

design and implementation of CPS and formal evidence that they are trustworthy. Hence, papers that are pertinent to the following

topics are all welcome:



* IoT, IIoT and dependability: IoT systems are a class of systems that use the internet as the backbone technology.

 - In this topic, papers related to bridging best of security research and IoT and IIoT are encouraged, Ex: Authentication

   and Authorization in IoT. The Time-Sensitive Networking task group of the IEEE 802.1 working group is adding new capabilities,

   especially bridging wired and wireless devices. Papers related to this topic and its impact on dependability are encouraged.

* Software Engineering methods for dependable CPS: the amount of software in CPS is growing and the key factor defining its functionality.

 - In this topic, papers related to reducing the software engineering effort while at the same time ensuring quality for dependable

   CPS are encouraged. However, treating the software in isolation would be short sighted. Therefore model driven approaches addressing

   cross domain concerns of CPS are as well encouraged.

* Artificial Intelligence and dependability: AI and CPS now go hand in hand. One cannot exist without the other.

 - In this topic, papers related to explainability and dependability analysis of AI algorithms in the area of CPS will be considered.

   Another topic of special interest is distributed/swarm intelligence. Flexibility requirements have become key to CPS in Industry 4.0

   context and papers related to learning the behavior and adapting to flexible factories, based on ML based agents are encouraged.

* Big Data and dependability: Data is now available in abundance, for example, AI algorithm training data.

 - Papers related to use of big data to construct models for use in dependability analysis are encouraged. Process mining is one such 

   example, which can be used to link model-based process analysis and data-oriented analysis techniques.
