=== Special Issue: IOT and SCADA Cybersecurity Education ===

** AIMS:
By 2020 various estimates put the number of "things" on the Internet at 
26-30 billion. These networked things will be found in every facet of 
our lives. This is in addition to the SCADA systems that are so critical 
for functioning of modern civilization. In the excitement of creating 
these new systems, it seems clear that not enough attention is being 
paid to cybersecurity of the IOT and SCADA systems. In particular, this 
aspect of cybersecurity is not addressed in most cybersecurity programs. 
This is most unfortunate since it is widely believed that these new 
systems are less secure than the traditional networked systems. It is 
also clear that vulnerabilities in the IOT and SCADA systems can be 
exploited to produce vulnerabilities in traditional systems. Therefore, 
this special issue aims to an international platform for the discussion 
of IOT and SCADA cybersecurity education.

** TOPICS:
This special issue will focus on the state of IOT and SCADA 
Cybersecurity Education. Of special interest are determining which 
institutions are active in these areas and how people interested in 
bringing these topics into their cybersecurity curriculum should 
proceed. We invite contributions that look at all aspects of the 
cybersecurity of the Internet of Things and SCADA systems. This includes 
such devices as ATMs, home and automobile control systems, and medical 
devices as well as the traditional systems such as power grids, 
pipelines and water systems.

** IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission Deadline: August 15, 2014
