th 10 IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA 2015) http://www.ieeeiciea.org/2015/ June 15-17, 2015 Auckland, New Zealand Special session: Design technologies and methodologies for distributed cyberphysical systems Proposed by: Zoran Salcic, Valeriy Vyatkin, Kevin Wang Scope: Increasing number of cyber-physical systems (CPS) use combination of embedded and communication technologies that enable new classes of applications. The design of such systems is challenging with respect to hardware and software platforms on which they run as well as to the design methodology and use of novel tools. The special session is organised to invite the contributions in hardware, networking, software and Internet technologies used in CPS, hardware-software co-design, design flows, modelling, validation and verification of those systems. Application case studies where novel design methodologies are used are welcome.
