<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 11.25pt 3.75pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) such as autonomous vehicles, industrial
robots, medical devices, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, promise
relevant economic and societal benefits. The design and operation of CPS and
IoT, however, face serious challenges from the fast increase of system scale
and complexity, the close interaction with physical environment and human
activities, the adoption of multicore and distributed architectural platforms,
and the stringent and diverse requirements on performance, safety, security,
fault tolerance, extensibility, and energy consumption. In addition,
incorporation of Learning Enabled Components (LEC) in CPS and IoT architectures
is leading to new challenges in design flows that require re-thinking the
fundamentals of assurance and certification. Many key engineering processes in
current CPS and IoT design practices are ad-hoc (and often manual), and have
been shown to be incapable of coping with such challenges. It is thus critical
to have a new set of design automation methodologies, algorithms and
tools for improving the quality, scalability, reliability, and
productivity of CPS and IoT design processes. Emerging research directions investigate
the development of AI-based co-design tools that take advantage of machine
learning and artificial intelligence technologies in design flows. The new
vision is a symbiotic design automation process that fuses human ingenuity with
machine intelligence.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"></span></p>

premier forum for researchers and engineers from academia,
industry, and government to present and discuss pressing challenges, promising
solutions, and applications in design automation for CPS and IoT. The
workshop has a broad scope covering tools for modeling, simulation,
synthesis, validation and verification of CPS and IoT, and their applications
in a variety of domains, such as automotive and transportation systems,
avionics, buildings, grid, and medical devices.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"></span></p>
