Special sessions

Special session 1:
Title: Enhancing the Security and Resilience of Cyber-Physical Systems

Proposers: Dr. Cédric Escudero
Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon (INSA Lyon), France
Dr. Jakub Mozaryn
Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Mechatronics, Poland

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate computational and physical components, effectively
bridging the digital and physical domains to enable advanced monitoring, control, and
automation capabilities. These systems are prevalent across various sectors, including
transportation, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, smart cities, and infrastructure,
where they drive innovations such as autonomous vehicles, smart grids, and intelligent
buildings.
The growing reliance of industries on remote access has underscored the critical need to
protect essential facilities from cyber threats. The current global context has amplified the
urgency of cybersecurity in safeguarding CPS against operational failures and cyberattacks.
While integrating cyber and physical elements in CPS enhances system efficiency, it also
introduces new research challenges due to the heightened vulnerability to cyberattacks.
A key research focus within this domain is the development of fault detection and diagnosis
schemes for controllers, sensors, and actuators, aimed at mitigating malfunctions arising from
cyberattacks. Additionally, there is increasing interest in the secure configuration of
controllers, networks, and sensors/actuators to protect these systems by design.

In this special session, we will explore innovative solutions and methodologies that address
the growing concerns around CPS’s safety, security, and resilience, particularly in light of
increasing uncertainty and complexity in system operations. We encourage contributions
covering fundamental research and practical implementations, fostering a comprehensive
understanding and discussion.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  1. Security threats and vulnerabilities in cyber-physical systems
  2. Resilient control, estimation, and data fusion amidst cyber-attacks
  3. Privacy-preserving control and secure communication protocols
  4. Techniques for attack detection, diagnosis, and mitigation
  5. Fault detection, diagnosis, and mitigation strategies
  6. Control and network reconfiguration for enhanced security
  7. Data-driven approaches to cybersecurity in CPS
  8. Practical applications in domains such as smart grids, microgrids, multi-robot systems, transportation networks, and more

We invite researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to participate and actively contribute
to this session. Your insights and experiences will be invaluable in advancing cyber-physical
systems’ secure and resilient development.
