Best papers of the workshop, after further revisions and independent reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Wiley Journal of Software: Evolution and Process (IF 1.305).
SCOPE
The design of modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) comprises systems of systems that include several heterogeneous components. Manufacturers of such systems have to address several networking, dynamic and uncertain environmental constraints. CPSs are often safety-critical, i.e., any malfunctioning of the system may seriously harm its user. However, the involved communicating peripherals also necessitate the consideration of security issues, so that the proper functioning of a CPS is not affected by cyber-security threats.
The engineering of a CPS requires high safety integrity levels and strong assurances for their fitness for public use against safety hazards and cyber-security threats. Considering safety and security requirements in the design of CPS increases their reliability, confidentiality, integrity and availability. This also ensures the continuous provision and protection of essential services and assets. However, contemporary systems and software engineering methods and approaches are often not adequate for the high-confidence design and manufacturing of CPSs. This is especially true within the era of artificial intelligence.
The overall aim of this workshop is to address a broad range of issues related to cyber-security, functional safety and their interplay within the context of CPSs – including but not limited to:
- Functional safety, cyber-security and their interplay
- Model-driven engineering
- Privacy and confidentiality
- Specification, verification & validation
- System architecture, design, decisions and tradeoffs, e.g., correct-by-design or privacy-by-design
- Security, safety and CPS in the era of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning
- Regulation, homologation, legalization and certification
- Case studies, experience reports, benchmarking and best practices
- Healthcare, transportation, aerospace, energy, robotics, finance, business, etc.
