CPS: Technical Program of the 2025 Cyber-Physical Systems Principal Investigator Meeting

The purpose of this project is to plan the technical program of the 2025 National Science Foundation (NSF) Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Principal Investigator (PI) Meeting. The meeting is expected to take place in the Spring of 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee. The CPS PI meeting annually brings together the NSF-supported CPS Principal Investigators. It represents a unique opportunity to showcase research advancements, discuss upcoming challenges, research directions, and create new opportunities for collaborations within the CPS community. Additionally, this annual event provides a platform for CPS PIs, industry leaders, and Federal agency representatives to review recent advancements in CPS, explore emerging applications, and discuss technology challenges. Therefore, it represents a valuable opportunity for academic researchers to engage with industry and government stakeholders interested in advancing CPS research. The program will feature a comprehensive set of sessions and events. These will include keynotes from leaders in the research community; poster presentations and demos, to showcase CPS innovations and results; sessions on successful CPS projects as well as on Diversity and Inclusion (DEI) activities; and several opportunities for researchers to network, discuss, and foster new collaborations. In addition, the program will include panels, workshops and breakout sessions on emerging topics such as CPS and Artificial Intelligence (AI), CPS in Agriculture, and CPS Resilience. The meeting will be in-person, but plenary sessions as well as PIs'' lightning talks will be made available online to allow broader participation from researchers across academia, industry, and government. Overall, the meeting encourages increased government and industry participation and serves as a vital forum for exchanging ideas across the CPS community. It has been instrumental in expanding the field’s reach across various sectors and inviting others interested in participating as future collaborators or sponsors.
