Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate computing and communication capabilities
with monitoring and control of entities in the physical world. These systems are
usually composed of a set of networked agents, including sensors, actuators,
control processing units, and communication devices. While some forms of CPS are
already in use, the widespread growth of wireless embedded sensors and actuators
is creating several new applications in areas such as medical devices,
autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure, and is increasing the role that
the information infrastructure plays in existing control systems such as in the
process control industry or the power grid.

Many CPS applications are safety-critical: their failure can cause irreparable
harm to the physical system under control, and to the people who depend, use or
operate it. In particular, critical cyber-physical infrastructures such as
electric power generation, transmission and distribution grids, oil and natural
gas systems, water and waste-water treatment plants, and transportation networks
play a fundamental and large-scale role in our society. Their disruption can
have a significant impact on individuals, and nations at large. Securing these
CPS infrastructures is, therefore, vitally important.

Similarly because many CPS systems collect sensor data non-intrusively, users of
these systems are often unaware of their exposure. Therefore, in addition to
security, CPS systems must be designed with privacy considerations.

To address these issues, we invite original research papers on the security
and/or privacy of Cyber-Physical Systems. We seek submissions from multiple
interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS,
including but not limited to:

mathematical foundations for secure CPS
control theoretic approaches to secure CPS
high assurance security architectures for CPS
security and resilience metrics for CPS
metrics and risk assessment approaches for CPS
privacy in CPS
network security for CPS
game theory applied to CPS security
security of embedded systems, IoT and real-time systems in the context of CPS
human factors and humans in the loop
understanding dependencies among security, reliability and safety in CPS
economics of security and privacy in CPS
intrusion detection in CPS
model-based security systems engineering
experimental insights from real-world CPS or CPS testbeds

CPS domains of interest include but are not limited to:

health care and medical devices
manufacturing
industrial control systems
SCADA systems
Robotics
smart building environments
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
autonomous vehicles
transportation systems and networks

Also of interest will be papers that can point the research community to new
research directions, and those that can set research agendas and priorities in
CPS security and privacy.

Submitted papers can be up to 12 pages including appendices and references.
Submissions must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (available at the ACM
website) in double-column format with a font no smaller than 9 point. Only PDF
files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection
without consideration of their merits. Accepted papers will be published by the
ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library.

Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published
or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with
proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented by one registered author.
Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk immediate rejection. For questions
about these policies, please contact the chairs.
