Workshop Scope

Cyber-physical systems underpin many of the critical infrastructures that our society depends on. As a consequence, they have very high reliability and availability requirements. Recently, there have been a number of high-profile cyber-attacks to critical infrastructures, which include cyber-physical systems, that have resulted in major disruptions in the physical domain. These threats include a sophisticated cyber-attack component, whose aim is to manipulate the control behaviour of a target system.

To address these threats, a multi-disciplinary approach is necessary that draws on and integrates research findings from cyber security, resilient control, formal methods, human factors, and applied knowledge of the cyber-physical system under attack, for example. The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers in disciplines that are related to ensuring the security and resilience of cyber-physical systems, to discuss hot topics and research directions that will lead to (reusable) solutions that are applicable to numerous forms of cyber-physical system.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following aspects of CPS security and resilience:

  • Security and resilience measurement
  • Resilient control
  • Hyperproperties in CPS
  • Cyber-physical intrusion detection
  • New forms of attack to CPS
  • Human performance
  • Secure and resilient CPS architectures
  • Applications of machine learning

Paper submissions

Papers are encouraged that present early research or position statements, which preferably include initial results, or mature (previously published) findings that could benefit from being discussed in a workshop setting. Submitted papers, written in English, should not exceed four pages in length. Please follow the IEEE conference format guidelines and submit your work via the EasyChair submission system. Please note that papers will not be published in a proceedings, but distributed to attendees at CPS Week and made available at the workshop website.
