2008 Lecture Series Schedule
California Center for Innovative Transportation (CCIT), Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), and Nokia present the Distinguished Lecture Series on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are computing systems that interact with physical processes. The tight integration between the computation and the physical system is what differentiates CPS from other forms of computing, making CPS a kind of embedded system. However, unlike more traditional embedded systems, CPS are typically designed as networks of interacting elements instead of as standalone devices.
All lectures will begin at 12:10pm in 290 Hearst Memorial Mining Building. Lunch will be served at noon. Free and open to the public
