Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As automation and autonomy are incorporated in more-and-more cyberphysical systems, the protection of the command and control of this equipment becomes of paramount importance. A cybersecurity failure for machines that operate in the physical world can cause injury (possibly very severe) to bystanders and co-working humans, as well as significant property damage. Public trust in mechanized systems may also be eroded by security failures.
This Special Issue focuses on the cybersecurity of cyberphysical systems, providing an opportunity to present research on all areas of cyberphysical system cybersecurity as well as more general cybersecurity topics and their application to cyberphysical systems. In addition to technical content, papers on technology policy and law, considering cyberphysical system cybersecurity topics, are also welcomed.
