As the Internet of Things becomes part of our every day lives, forming a complex system that spans across digital, physical and social boundaries, there are significant challenges to engineering the software that forms the core of these cyber-physical-social systems. These include:

• Dynamic composition and evolution of systems of systems
• Ensuring security, privacy and trust
• Enabling M2M, M2P and P2P collaboration (M=machine; P=person)
• Knowledge representation and reasoning techniques
• Human factors relating to the design, construction and use of CPSSs
• Transparency engineering for CPSSs
• Adaptive systems
• Analytical methods for design and construction of CPSSs

The workshop brings together a community of software engineers whose work relates to the above challenges, with the aim of exploring potential research directions and collaborations.
