    Call for Papers and Demos

    Scope

    The Workshop on CPS&IoT Security and Privacy (CPSIoTSec 2022) invites academia, industry, and governmental entities to submit:

  • Original research papers on the security and privacy of CPS&IoT
  • Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers on the security and privacy of CPS&IoT
  • Demos (hands-on or videos) of testbeds/experiences of CPS&IoT security and privacy research

    • We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS&IoT, including but not limited to:

  • Mathematical foundations for secure CPS/IoT
  • Control-theoretic approaches
  • High assurance security architectures
  • Security and resilience metrics
  • Metrics and risk assessment approaches
  • Identity and access management
  • Privacy and trust
  • Network security
  • Game theory applied to CPS/IoT security
  • Human factors, humans in the loop, and usable security
  • Understanding dependencies among security, reliability and safety in CPS/IoT
  • Economics of security and privacy
  • Intrusion and anomaly detection
  • Model-based security systems engineering
  • Sensor and actuator attacks
  • CPS/IoT malware analysis
  • CPS/IoT firmware analysis
  • Hardware-assisted CPS/IoT security

    • Also of interest will be papers that can point the research community to new research directions, and those that can set research agendas and priorities in CPS/IoT security and privacy. All submitted papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references, for double blind reviews . There will be a best paper and best presentation award.

    New Process for Selecting the Best Paper Award: Following the success of the 2021 process and in the interest of increasing transparency, the PC will select upto 3 top-rated papers based on reviews and place them in a single session. Then the audience will vote on what they think should be the best paper after viewing the presentations.

    Submission Instructions

    Submissions include long papers (12 pages), short papers (6 pages), or 1-page abstracts:

  • Long papers include a) Original research on a CPS/IoT security and privacy topic, b) Systematization of Knowledge of CPS/IoT security and privacy;
  • Short papers include original work-in-progress research on a CPS/IoT security and privacy topic;
  • 1-page abstracts include demos/interesting findings/insights on CPS/IoT security and privacy, which will be accompanied by a hands-on demo during the workshop.

    • Submitted papers can be up to 12 or 6 pages excluding appendices and references. Submissions must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates, with a simpler version here: https://github.com/acmccs/format. Only PDF files will be accepted. 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 a registered author. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk immediate rejection. For questions about these policies, please contact the chairs.
