email: dexa at iiwas.org
Papers submission: https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/IWCFS2023
Virtual presentation is possible


*** IMPORTANT DATES ***
Paper submission: 7 March 2023
Notification of acceptance: 10 May 2023
Camera-ready copies due: 1 June 2023
Workshop days: 22-24 August 2023

*** PUBLICATION ***
The workshop papers will be published by Springer in "Communications in Computer and Information Science." In addition, the 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 1.972). 

*** SCOPE ***
The design of modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) comprises systems of systems that include several heterogeneous components. Manufacturers of such systems must 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, modern 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 artificial intelligence and quantum computing. 

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, and validation
- System architecture, design, decisions, and tradeoffs, e.g., correct-by-design or privacy-by-design
- Security, safety, and CPSs in the era of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and quantum computing
- Regulation, homologation,legalization, and certification
- Case studies, experience reports, benchmarking, and best practices
- Healthcare, transportation, aerospace, energy, robotics, finance, business, etc.

*** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ***
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 10 pages.
- Short paper submissions on recent or ongoing work on relevant topics and ideas not exceeding 5 pages.
Formatting Guidelines: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

*** SUBMISSION PROCEDURE ***
Papers submission will be managed using EquinOCS Springer Nature Conference Proceedings Submission System.
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ instructions (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings...) and use the proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers.

*** REVIEW PROCESS ***
Submissions to the workshop must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 reviewers and judged based on 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.
