Welcome to the home page of the 4th International Workshop on Emerging Ideas and Trends in Engineering of Cyber-Physical Systems (EITEC’ 18). This workshop will be held as part of CPS Week 2018 to take place in Porto, Portugal on April 11-13, 2018.
Cyber-physical systems are based on networked embedded software systems which connect computational entities in a collaborative manner with physical entities of the real world to achieve an overall purpose of its users. Together with available content and services on the World Wide Web, they build networks of systems that integrate with the physical environment. This will lead to radical changes in many application fields (e.g. energy, mobility, healthcare) and will have an impact on our daily lives. Many technology leaders are already in the midst of a global race of repositioning and reinventing themselves by developing new dynamic CPS inspired business models. However, mastering the engineering of complex and trustworthy CPS faces serious challenges, which have to be addressed by the engineering methodologies of the future.
The EITEC workshop series aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from various domains relevant to CPS dedicated to mastering the challenges in engineering of CPS today and in the future. The workshop will be a venue to share results and new ideas, discuss upcoming research directions, and to catalyze a joint industry-academia platform that bridges the gap between scientific results and transfer into practice.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

Submissions for this category shall describe open issues in the engineering of CPS of theoretical or practical nature and discuss / present corresponding solution ideas or describe industrial and academic challenges for the engineering of CPS. -
Category 2: Demonstration papers
Submissions in this category will present and demonstrate prototypical features of development tools that address the specific challenges in engineering of CPS. -
Category 3: Roadmap papers
Submissions in this category shall describe where the research in the field of engineering CPS should be heading and address proposals how to shape future research. -
Category 4: Empirical Evaluations
Submissions in this category shall discuss contributions that address empirical evaluation work, case studies and analysis related to research in the engineering of CPS.
