2011 WASE International Workshop on Ubiquitous computing MANET and Cyber Physical System (UMC2011)In conjunction with 2011 WASE International conference on Information Engineering

More than 35 years of research in distributed computing systems, more than two decades of mobile computing, together with long-term work on intelligent control have made the rapid advances in ubiquitous technologies. Ubiquitous computers, networks and information are paving a road towards a smart world in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical environment to provide trustworthy and relevant services to people.

MANET have not yet achieved the envisaged impact in terms of real world implementation and industrial deployment. The research on MANET lacks realism from a technical standpoint and from a socio-economic standpoint. Researchers concentrated on large-scale and completely decentralized networks built upon user devices only, with no authority in charge of controlling and managing the network. Addressing a very general network model provides many interesting problems from the academic standpoint.
At the same time, as computers become ever-faster and communication bandwidth ever-cheaper, computing and communication capabilities will be embedded in all types of objects and structures in the physical environment. Such systems that bridge the cyber-world of computing and communications with the physical world are cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are physical and engineered systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by a computing and communication core. This intimate coupling between the cyber and physical will be manifested from the nano-world to large-scale wide-area systems of systems. And at multiple time-scales.
