Theme and Scope
The cyber-physical systems (CPS) deeply intertwine computational and physical components, enabling monitoring and controlling physical processes in real time, as well as sensing, collecting and analyzing data for decision making. These systems can be used in various domains, including manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, healthcare, energy, etc. As cyberphysical systems continue to be deployed in critical applications, safeguarding their security and privacy has become a crucial concern. Thus, it is vital to ensure that these systems are shielded from potential cyber-attacks to prevent significant consequences.
This special issue seeks original submissions that address security and privacy issues in cyber-physical systems. Both technical and survey papers are welcome. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer review process, and accepted articles will be published as a collection in the journal.
Submission Instructions
