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 for areas such as manufacturing or power.
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 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 privacy of Cyber-Physical Systems. We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS.
List of Topics
- 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 direc- tions, and those that can set research agendas and priorities in CPS security and privacy. There will be a best paper award.
Submission Guidelines
- Paper Submission Deadline: July 1, 2018 (23:59 Anywhere on Earth time)

Submitted papers can be up to 12 pages including appendices and references. Submissions must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template, with a simpler version here: https://github.com/acmccs/format). 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.
