Important Dates
Submission due: June 30, 2023 Notification to authors: July 25, 2023 Camera-ready due: September 18, 2023

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are physical and engineered systems that interact with the physical environment, whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by information and communication technologies. These systems exist everywhere around us, and range in size, complexity and criticality, from embedded systems used in smart vehicles, to SCADA systems in smart grids to control systems in water distribution systems, to smart transportation systems, to plant control systems, engineering workstations, substation equipment, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other Industrial Control Systems (ICS). These systems also include the emerging trend of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that will be the central part of the fourth industrial revolution.

CyberICPS invites submissions that present innovative ideas, proof of concepts, use cases, and results from a variety of topics relevant to ICS and CPS security, including (but not limited to) the following ones:


• Security governance
• Security policies
• Risk analysis and management
• Vulnerability assessment and metrics
• Awareness, training and simulation
• ICS/CPS security standards
• Privacy and Anonymity in ICS/CPS
• System and network security
• Threat modeling
• Security architectures
• Access control
• Malware and cyber weapons
• Intrusion detection and visualization
• Defense in depth
• Monitoring and real time supervision
• Applied cryptography
• Perimeter security
• Safety-security interactions
• Cyber security engineering
• Secure communication protocols
• Formal models for ICS/CPS security
• Hardware Security
• Resilient ICS/CPS
• Application Security
• Secure Firmware
• Incident Response and Digital Forensics for ICS/CPS
• Forensics in ICS
• Incident Response
• Accountability
• Case Studies
• Case studies in the energy, utility, chemical, transportation, manufacturing, and other industrial and critical infrastructure sectors.

Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that have been simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 20 pages long, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and should follow the LNCS style. Submissions are to be made to the submission web site. Only pdf files will be accepted. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. LaTeX templates for Springer’s proceedings are also available in Overleaf. Like in all previous editions of CyberICPS, it is expected that the conference proceedings will be published in the LNCS series. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the submission deadline listed below (11:59 p.m. American Samoa time). Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the workshop.
