 Newsletter No. 8 April 2015 Welcome! In this issue: This is the eighth issue of the regular newsletter of CyPhERS ("Cyber-­‐Physical European Roadmap and Strategy") – a FP7-­‐project funded by the EU, which aims at developing a European strategic research and innovation agenda for cyber-­‐physical systems (CPS) to ensure Europe's competitiveness in this emerging field. New deliverable D5.2 – “CPS: Significance, Challenges and Opportunities” CyPhERS has published deliverable D5.2 “CPS: Significance, Challenges and Opportunities”. This deliverable provides a gap analysis of CPS for Europe as a basis for the final deliverable of the project. The gap analysis compares the vision of “possible future scenarios and capabilities” to “the current state in science and technology”. This deliverable extends D5.1 with a complete SWOT analysis and a further elaboration of the characterization of CPS, relating to concepts such as IoT, Big data, SoS, Mechatronics and Embedded systems. This and the past deliverables are available for download at http://cyphers.eu/project/deliverables. Final European Experts’ Workshop on Cyber-­‐Physical Systems CyPhERS held its final European Experts Workshop on CPS, in Munich on February 23, 2015. Experts were invited to exchange vision and challenges on CPS, and to elaborate strategies to achieve the vision. The goal of the workshop was to evaluate the completeness of our research agenda and recommendations, understand the priorities, validate our SWOT analysis, and in general gather feedback to refine the recommendations. The outcome thus helps towards the shaping and definition of the project final results, the Integrated CPS Research and Innovation Agenda, encompassing technical as well as policy aspects of relevance for CPS. • Project deliverable “CPS: Significance, Challenges and Opportunities” • Report on: Final European Experts’ Workshop on CPS, Munich, February 23, 2015. • English translation of the German CPS roadmap Project Information "CyPhERS -­‐ Cyber-­‐Physical European Roadmap and Strategy" Support Action Project reference: 611430 Programme FP7-­‐ICT, area ICT-­‐2013.3.4 Start date: 01-­‐JULY-­‐2013 Duration: 20 months Partners: English translation of the German CPS roadmap CyPhERS has released the English translation of the acatech STUDY “Living in a networked world. Integrated research agenda Cyber-­‐Physical Systems (agendaCPS)”. The study was carried out under the auspices of acatech’s “Information and Communication Technology” topic network. Following on from the “Smart Objects” project, it addresses the mega-­‐trend of the “Internet of Things” by investigating the opportunities and challenges associated with the technological trend of Cyber-­‐Physical Systems.
