Guest Editorial Special Section on Control and Automation From the 2015 International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS)

The papers included in this special section were presented at the Sixth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS 2015) that was held on April 14-16, 2015 in Seattle, WA, USA, as part of the Eighth Annual Cyber-Physical Systems Week. ICCPS is the premier single-track conference for reporting advances in all aspects of cyber-physical systems, including theory, tools, applications, systems, testbeds, and field deployments. Its focus includes the core science and technology for developing fundamental principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements, with application domains that include transportation, energy, water, agriculture, ecology, supply-chains, medical and assistive technology, sensor and social networks, and robotics.
