Secure and Trustworthy Cyber–Physical Systems

Dear Colleagues, 

Cyber–physical systems (CPSs) entail the seamless integration of computation and physical components. These systems illustrate the synergistic interactions among the cyber components, such as the computing and communication parts, and the physical devices, operating at a wide variety of spatial and temporal scales. CPSs are driving innovation and competition in a range of sectors, including agriculture, aeronautics, building design, civil infrastructure, energy, environmental quality, healthcare and personalized medicine, and transportation. These applications will empower the true vision of CPSs, allowing human beings to interact with the physical world and serve critical functions in our lives. CPS technologies are emerging as key drivers of future autonomous and smart connected worlds. With the wider adoption and popularity of the CPS applications, securing them against malicious activities is paramount. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications can cause enormous damage to individuals, businesses, and nations.
