Engineering of CPS System Design and Verification will be addressed—How can cyber physical walking systems (CPWS) be designed to be safe, secure, and resilient in a variety of unanticipated disturbances? How can this mixed autonomous system with a human in the loop be verified? CPS Real-time Control and Adaptation will also be targeted—How can real-time dynamic control and behavior adaptation be achieved in a diversity of environments?
