We are currently on the brink of a revolutionary transformation from stand-alone embedded systems to ubiquitous cyber-physical systems (CPS) that bridge the virtual world of computing and communications and the real world. Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects, in which embedded devices are networked to sense, monitor and control the physical world. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. In particular, there is a trend to build CPS upon wireless and mobile networks as a consequence of unprecedented proliferation of these technologies in recent years. In addition to wireless sensors and actuators, the number of mobile devices that can support wirelessly networked cyber-physical applications has exploded. Some usual examples include smartphones, PDAs, autonomous robots, wearable computers, among others. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by mobile CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of mobile CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome.

The MobiCPS workshop is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of mobile cyber-physical systems, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, and practical applications. Besides research papers, the workshop will feature Invited Talks and a Panel Discussion session.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical foundations of CPS
- Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical interaction
- Sensing and actuation policies
- Distributed computing and control
- Architectures, design methodologies and tools for mobile CPS
- Mobile devices and embedded software platforms for cyber-physical computing
- Mobile cyber-physical applications and services
- Energy-efficient (green) computing and communications
- Wireless networking and mobile communications
- Wireless sensor networks
- Mobile and participatory sensing
- Location-based services
- Internet of things
- Information consensus
- Trust, security, and privacy
- Validation, testing, and certification
- Prototypes, testbeds, practical experiences, and case studies
- Emerging applications in healthcare, transportation, automation, environment, etc.
