Dear Colleague,
We would like to cordially invite you to contribute a book chapter to a forthcoming book entitled " Security and Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems: Foundations and Applications", which will be published by Wiley (https://sites.google.com/site/wileycpsspbook/).
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. Advances in CPS will enable capability, adaptability, scalability, resiliency, safety, security, and usability that will far exceed the simple embedded systems of today. CPS are subject to threats stemming from increasing reliance on computer and communication technologies. Security threats exploit the increased complexity and connectivity of critical infrastructure systems, placing the Nation’s security, economy, public safety, and health at risk. CPS blur the lines between infrastructural and personal spaces when they provide convenient access to public services or bridge the gap between personal property and public infrastructure. This blurring is being engineered into the Internet of Things (IoT), an important exponent of CPS. With IoT, personal CPS (like phones, appliances, and automobiles) bearing personal data can reach up into public infrastructures to access services. This connectivity can result in leakage of personal data with attendant privacy concerns.
The purpose of the book is to refine an understanding of the key technical, social and legal issues at stake, to understand the range of technical issues affecting hardware and software in infrastructure components, as well as the blending of such systems with personal CPS. This book will present the state of the art and the state of the practice of how to address the following unique security and privacy challenges facing CPS.

CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPS Week)
April 11-14, 2016 | Vienna, Austria | http://www.cpsweek.org/2016/
CPS Week is the premier event on Cyber-Physical Systems. It brings together four top conferences, HSCC, ICCPS, IPSN, and RTAS, 10-15 workshops, a localization competition, tutorials, and various exhibitions from both industry and academia. Altogether the CPS Week program covers a multitude of complementary aspects of CPS, and reunites the leading researchers in this dynamic field. CPS Week 2016 in Vienna, Austria, will host 10-15 workshops (subject to room availability) and 2-3 tutorials on Monday April 11 and is soliciting proposals for new and recurring workshops as well as for tutorials. CPS Week workshops are excellent opportunities to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to share their experiences in an interactive atmosphere and to foster collaboration for new and innovative projects. We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to the broad set of research, education, and application areas in cyber-physical systems.
Guidelines for workshop proposals:
Proposals should be submitted at the latest by *** October 1, 2015 ***
A workshop proposal consists of a 2-page maximum PDF file, including the following information:
- A concise title of the workshop
- Description of the topics and specific issues that the workshop will address, how the workshop complements CPS Week conferences and why the workshop theme is relevant
- Expected format of the workshop (regular paper presentations, poster presentations, invited talks, panel discussions, demo sessions, or other ideas to promote active exchange of ideas)
- Organizers with short bio, affiliation, and their expertise in the proposed topic(s)
