Call For Papers

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), sensing, communication, computation and storage techniques have improved the way CPS interact, exchange and process information. Especially in recent years, Intelligent Cyber-Physical System (ICPS), such as unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and robots, have emerged for various applications without surveillance by human. Yet, the success, prosperity, and advancement of these intelligent systems strongly depend on the security and safety of the cyber-physical devices, system software, and application software. These systems are prone to suffering from various security and safety issues, such as hardware defects, system and application vulnerabilities, network eavesdropping, side-channel attacks and so on. These successful attacks targeted to the Intelligent CPS do not only affect the security of information but also the safety of system, which may lead to malfunction of systems with severe financial, environmental and health losses.The goal of the 2020 SecICPS workshop is to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results to meet the security and safety requirements of future ICPS’s applications in various fields.

Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Attacks on ICPS including spoofing, eavesdropping, side-channel attack and so on.
  • Adversarial machine learning on ICPS
  • Hardware’s vulnerabilities detection for ICPS
  • Security protection for ICPS based on TPM (Trust Platform Model)
  • Modelling, simulation and tools for secure and safe design of ICPS
  • Software’s vulnerabilities detection for ICPS
  • Automatic security and safety verification for ICPS software
  • Efficient authentication and key management between ICPSs
  • End-to-End secure communication between ICPSs

Planned Format

SecICPS 2020 will be a full-day workshop. We are expecting somewhere between 30-50 people for the workshop. The tentative plan is to have two keynote talks and 3 technical sessions comprising of 9 papers including technical and short papers.

We solicit three types of paper submission:

  • Technical Papers: up to 6 pages (including everything except references), reporting on novel research, to be presented at the workshop as an oral presentation;

  • Short Papers: up to 3 pages (including everything), reporting on new research directions and/or a controversial debate of past research, to be presented at the workshop as a short pitch with interactive discussion;

  • Poster Papers: up to 2 pages (including everything), to be presented at the workshop as a poster.
