***** IMPORTANT DATES *****
- Submission of full papers: March 18, 2019
- Notification of acceptance: May 24, 2019
- Camera-ready copies due: June 08, 2019
- Workshop: August 26 - 29, 2019


***** PUBLICATION *****
The workshop papers will be published by Springer in "Communications in
Computer and Information Science." Best papers of the workshop, after
further revisions and independent reviews, will be considered for
publication in a special issue of Wiley Journal of Software: Evolution
and Process (IF 1.167).


***** SCOPE *****
The design of modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) comprises systems of
systems that include several heterogeneous components. Manufacturers of
such systems have to 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, contemporary 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 big
data.


***** 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 & validation
- System architecture, design, decisions and tradeoffs, e.g.,
correct-by-design or privacy-by-design
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning approaches
- Regulation, homologation, legalization and certification
- Case studies, experience reports, benchmarking and best practices
- Healthcare, transportation, aerospace, energy, robotics, finance,
business, etc


***** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *****
In order to encourage participation and discussion, this workshop
solicits two types of submissions: regular papers and short papers.
- Regular paper submissions about original work not exceeding 15 pages.
- Short paper submissions on recent or ongoing work on relevant topics
and ideas not exceeding 6 pages.
- Submissions to IWCFS 2019 workshop must be original and must not have
been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere.
- Formatting guidelines refer to
http://www.dexa.org/formatting_guidelines
- Submission is made electronically in PDF format using our conference
management system (http://www.dexa.org/paper_submisjudged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical
and presentation quality, and relevance to the workshop. Short papers
are meant for timely discussion and feedback at the workshop.
- At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for
the DEXA'19 conference, attend the IWCFS2019 workshop, and present the
paper.
