Abstract
Welcome to the 2nd International Workshop on Software Engineering for Smart Cyber-Physical Systems (SEsCPS 2016), which is held in in conjunction with the 38th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2016) in Austin, Texas, USA. Recent years have seen a growing interest in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which are distributed systems of systems that control the physical environment by means of collaborative sensing and actuating. We observe a trend to equip these systems with more "smartness" to deal with emergent situations, be more efficient and tolerant to threats, etc. Such "Smart" Cyber-Physical Systems (sCPS) heavily rely on software to provide the embedded intelligence to the extent that software becomes the most important and most complex constituent. This calls for systematic software engineering (SE) of sCPS, not only to address individual SE challenges, but to provide synergistic solutions that are resource efficient and respect the sCPS specifics, such as mobility, limited connectivity, partially uncertain environment, etc. Building upon the success of the first edition of SEsCPS (at ICSE 2015), the workshop aims at bringing together academics and practitioners from several disciplines with the overall objectives: (i) to increase the understanding of problems of software engineering for sCPS, (ii) to study the underlying foundational principles for engineering sCPS, and (iii) to identify and define promising software engineering solutions for sCPS. Based on the interest shown by participants at the previous edition of the workshop and research interest shown at related venues, the special themes of SEsCPS'16 are: (i) alignment of disciplines for engineering sCPS, (ii) uncertainty and human factors, and (iii) reference problems. Around these themes, the workshop strives to build understanding of sCPS and provide a basis for addressing the SE challenges brought by sCPS in a holistic manner.
