The design of modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) comprises systems of systems that include several heterogeneous components. Manufacturers of such systems must address several networking, dynamic and uncertain environmental constraints. CPSs are often safety-critical, i.e., any malfunctioning of the system may seriously harm its user. However, the involved communicating peripherals also necessitate the consideration of security issues so that the proper functioning of a CPS is not affected by cyber-security threats.
The engineering of a CPS requires high safety integrity levels and strong assurances for their fitness for public use against safety hazards and cyber-security threats. Considering safety and security requirements in the design of CPS increases their reliability, confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This also ensures the continuous provision and protection of essential services and assets. However, modern systems and software engineering methods and approaches are often not adequate for the high-confidence design and manufacturing of CPSs. This is especially true within the era of artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

List of Topics
The overall aim of this workshop is to address a broad range of issues related to cyber-security, functional safety, and their interplay within the context of CPSs – including but not limited to:
- Functional safety, cyber-security, and their interplay
- Model-driven engineering
- Privacy and confidentiality
- Specification, verification, and validation
- System architecture, design, decisions, and tradeoffs, e.g., correct-by-design or privacy-by-design
- Security, safety, and CPSs in the era of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and quantum computing
- Regulation, homologation,legalization, and certification
- Case studies, experience reports, benchmarking, and best practices
- Healthcare, transportation, aerospace, energy, robotics, finance, business, etc.
