Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As innovations continue in the design of cyber-physical systems (CPSs), hardware and software vendors are attempting to create new economic value by connecting devices, applications, and services through the Internet of Things. With the increase in the application of CPSs in infrastructures, any system failure can seriously harm its users. The engineering of CPSs requires high-security integrity levels and strong assurances that they are suitable for public use against security breaches and cybersecurity threats. Ensuring the safety of CPSs is at the core of research on CPSs, and it is a top priority for next-generation designs. This Special Issue focuses on the reliability, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user-centric CPSs.
The objective of this Special Issue is to address challenges related to cyber-security and functional safety within the context of CPSs—including but not limited to:
- Cyber-threats, cyber-risks, attacks, and defenses;
- Privacy and security;
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning approaches;
- Case studies, experience reports, benchmarking, and best practices;
- Healthcare, transportation, energy, robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous vehicles, finance, business, etc.
