ReCPS 2026: 1st Workshop on Reactive Cyber-Physical Systems

ReCPS 2026 (Reactive Cyber-Physical Systems: Design, Simulation, and Coordination) is the first edition of a workshop dedicated to foundational methods and emerging trends in the design, simulation, and coordination of reactive cyber-physical systems. As cyber-physical systems evolve into hyper-connected systems-of-systems—driven by pervasive sensing, distributed interactions, and growing adoption of AI/ML—ensuring predictability and reliability becomes a central challenge. ReCPS brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss approaches that enable deterministic and composable concurrency for CPS, including reactor-based models of computation and the Lingua Franca coordination language.

Co-located Event

ReCPS 2026 is co-located with the Design, Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) Conference and will take place in Verona, Italy, during April 20–22, 2026.

Topics of Interest

The workshop welcomes contributions and discussions on topics including (but not limited to):

  • Cyber-physical production systems (CPPS)
  • Safety-critical CPS
  • Distributed CPS
  • Real-time scheduling and coordination
  • Simulation of CPS
  • Digital twins
  • Verification and testing of CPS
  • Predictability and determinism of CPS
  • Integration and deployment of CPS
  • AI/ML-driven autonomous CPS
  • Modeling & simulation of human-in-the-loop CPS
  • CPS-human interaction via LLMs

Submission Types

  • Research Papers (up to 4 pages, including references): Original research contributions on reactive CPS design, simulation, verification, and deployment.
  • Demo Abstracts (up to 2 pages, including references): Working prototypes, tools, or demonstrations related to reactive CPS and the Lingua Franca ecosystem.

Key Dates

  • Submission deadline: February 16, 2026 (Anywhere on Earth)
  • Acceptance notification: March 2, 2026
  • Workshop dates: April 20–22, 2026
  • DATE early-bird registration deadline: March 5, 2026

Submission & Formatting

Submissions must follow the IEEE Conference template and be submitted via EasyChair.

Publication Policy

Accepted manuscripts will be distributed to workshop attendees but will not be formally published, allowing authors to further develop and submit extended versions to archival venues.
