the 5th CPSSI International Symposium on Cyber-Physical Systems (Applications and Theory) (CPSAT 2024), will be held on October 16-17, at the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), Tehran, Iran. CPSAT 2024 aims to bring researchers in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), embedded and real-time systems, Internet-of-Things (loT), and related research areas, from industry and academia. This event was held nationally from 1995 to 2014. In 2015, CPSAT (formerly RTEST) became a successful international symposium (visit https://cpssi.ir/rtest).

*** CPSAT 2024 is in the process of obtaining permission to index the accepted papers in IEEEXplore Digital Library (as done in the previous editions).
*** IEEE Iran Section Approved on the 20th of May 2024.

PLEASE NOTE: CPSAT 2024 solicits original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Extended versions of the accepted papers will also be considered for publication in Scientia Iranica Transactions on Computer Science & Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
