Call for Workshops, Tutorials and Competitions

Researchers from academia and industry are invited to submit proposals for workshops, tutorials, and competitions to be held during CPS-IoT Week 2027 in New York City, USA, on May 11–14, 2027.

Important Dates:

  • Proposal submission deadline: November 20, 2026

1. Workshop Proposals

Workshop proposals should include:

  • The workshop's name and duration (half or full day).
  • A brief description, motivation, and rationale, emphasizing its relevance to the CPS/IoT community.
  • A draft version of the CFP, including workshop deadlines.
  • Organizer details: names, affiliations, contact information, and short bios. The complete organizing committee should be listed; post-submission changes aren't permitted.

2. Tutorial Proposals

Tutorial proposals should include:

  • The name, affiliation, contact info, and short bio of each organizer.
  • The planned format and technical requirements in detail.

Tutorials should interest a broad audience in CPS and IoT; they should instruct attendees about specific topics, teach the use of new systems or tools, or provide the necessary background to understand critical technical advances in CPS- and IoT-related topics.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the general interests of the CPS-IoT Week participants, the proposal’s quality, and the presenters’ qualifications.

If accepted, the tutorial organizers must provide a beta website containing links to the tutorial materials to the chairs one month before the conference.
