Inquiries about the nature and structure of concepts, data- vs. model-based knowledge, have become central in CPS research. It is not surprising that the philosophical rivals, empiricism and rationalism have been battling for many hundred years. Despite advances in machine learning and success stories in social and mass media, learning is still very challenging.

This workshop is a consequence of the transition of the CPS community from the model-based to data-based methods. From the position of having only a few high-quality sensors to the case where data is omnipresent, but often of varying quality. We strive to learn the machines and infrastructures, to work autonomously, work together and collaborate with people.

We need new paradigms for the theory and practice of CPS. This workshop is the first step of joining research forces in formalizing and subsequently solving learning, safety assessment and verification problems.
