  • Secure CPS architectures

  • Authentication mechanisms for CPS

  • Access control for CPS

  • Key management in CPS

  • Attack detection for CPS

  • Threat modeling for CPS

  • Forensics for CPS

  • Intrusion and anomaly detection for CPS

  • Trusted-computing in CPS

  • Energy-efficient and secure CPS

  • Availability, recovery, and auditing for CPS

  • Distributed secure solutions for CPS

  • Metrics and risk assessment approaches

  • Privacy and trust

  • Blockchain for CPS security

  • Data security and privacy for CPS

  • Digital twins for CPS

  • Wireless sensor network security

  • CPS/IoT malware analysis

  • CPS/IoT firmware analysis

  • Economics of security and privacy

  • Securing CPS in medical devices/systems

  • Securing CPS in civil engineering systems/devices

  • Physical layer security for CPS

  • Security on heterogeneous CPS

  • Securing CPS in automotive systems

  • Securing CPS in aerospace systems

  • Usability security and privacy of CPS

  • Secure protocol design in CPS

  • Vulnerability analysis of CPS

  • Anonymization in CPS

The workshop is planned for one day, April 26, 2022, on the last day of the conference.

Instructions for Paper Authors

All submissions must describe original research, not published nor currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Submissions should clearly state the author names and their affiliations. All papers must be submitted electronically via the Easychair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmsatcps2022

Full-length papers

Papers must be at most 10 pages in length in double-column ACM format (as specified at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. The presenter must register for the workshop before the deadline for author registration.

Position papers and Work-in-progress papers

We also invite short position papers and work-in-progress papers. Such papers can be of length up to 6 pages in double-column ACM format (as specified at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template), and must clearly state "Position Paper" or "Work in progress," as the case may be in the title section of the paper. These papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
