Programme and Proceedings

The workshop will be held from 9:00-17:00 on Wednesday the 6th of April 2016. In line with the call for papers and focus of the workshop, this will be a working meeting. Presentations will be used to seed the discussion rather than being the sole focus of the workshop. The time slots in the programme below are, therefore, indicative. For instance, we may delay a presentation in order to let the discussion flow if key points are emerging.

09:00 - 09:30 Opening Remarks (Awais Rashid, Wouter Joosen, Simon Foley)

Opening remarks from the organisers - explaining the motivation and focus of the workshop and how the working sessions will run during the day.

9:30 - 10:30 Working Session 1: Reference Attack Model for CPS

In this working session, our focus will be on developing a comprehensive reference attack model for CPS as such a comprehensive model does not exist at present. The discussion will be seeded through two presentations

Paper Presentation 1: Composite vulnerabilities in Cyber Physical Systems, By: Pierre Ciholas and Jose Such, Lancaster University, UK. (10 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions)

Presentation 2: CPS Attack Scenarios, By Simon Foley, University College Cork, Ireland. (10 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions)

10:00-10:30 General discussion arising from points raised in the papers. We will then break up into groups to work on the attack model.

10:30 - 11:00 Coffee

11:00 - 12:00 Continue working in groups as part of Working Session 1

12:00 - 12:30 Report back from groups to conclude Working Session 1

12:30 - 13:30 Lunch

Afternoon - Focus Testbeds

13:30 - 14:30 Working session 2: The importance of diversity

Presentations/demos of the following testbeds:

Water Treatment, Distribution, and Electric Power Testbeds for Research in the Design of Secure Interdependent Critical Infrastructures, By: Nils Ole Tippenhauer, Martín Ochoa and Aditya P. Mathur, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore. (10 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions)

Testbed Diversity as a Fundamental Principle for Effective ICS Security Research, By: Benjamin Green, Sylvain Frey, Awais Rashid and David Hutchison, Lancaster University, UK. (10 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions)

The presentations will be followed by discussion in the light of the reference attack model emerging from the morning session.

14:30 - 15:00 Working Session 3: Simulated vs. Physical Testbeds

Presentations/demos of the following testbeds:

Experimental Platform for Internet Contingencies, By: Yannis Soupionis and Thierry Benoist, European Commission, Joint Research Centre, Italy. (10 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions)

A Microgrid Testbed for Interdisciplinary Research on Cyber-Secure Industrial Control in Power Systems, By: David Laverty, Mats-Robin Jacobsen, Kieran McLaughlin, Ivo Friedberg, Xiaodong Zhao, Rafiullah Khan and Sakir Sezer, Queen's University, Belfast, UK. (10 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions)

15:00 - 15:30 Coffee

15:30 - 16:00 Working Session 3: Simulated vs. Physical Testbeds (Continued)

The presentations will be followed by discussion in the light of the reference attack model emerging from the morning session.

16:00 - 17:00 Working Session 4: Planning the Working Paper

We will identify key themes from the workshop, define the structure of a working paper and key elements; establish timeline for preparation of the working paper, responsibilities and potential venues for publication.
