Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ongoing technology advancements in transportation, smart cities, healthcare, and other fields have continued to increase the integration of cyber–physical systems (CPS) within our daily lives. While these adoptions have dramatically enhanced the human experience, they have also considerably increased safety risks to end-users. This Special Issue delves into the multifaceted realm of "Safety of Real-Time and Cyber–Physical Systems". It encompasses a rich tapestry of research and insights aimed at addressing the critical challenges, innovations, and best practices that ensure the secure and reliable operation of these systems. These include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
(1) Cybersecurity and resilience in CPS: Cyber–physical systems are vulnerable to cyber threats, making cybersecurity and resilience crucial. Papers in this collection may be related to security protocols, intrusion detection, and resilient system designs to safeguard against cyber-attacks.
(2) Human–Machine Interaction and User-Centered Safety: Recognizing that humans are integral to many of these systems, papers in this collection will highlight research on user-centered design, usability, and the impact of human factors on safety.
(3) Emerging Technologies and Safety: Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in enhancing safety in these systems. Papers in this collection will examine how emerging technologies such as machine learning and edge computing are transforming the safety landscape of CPS for anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and decision support.
(4) Ethical AI and Safety: As technology evolves, so do regulations and ethical concerns. Papers in this collection will discuss the regulatory landscape, ethical considerations in AI and safety, and the role of standards in ensuring safety in CPS.
