Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will present high-quality papers on systems safety and security. It will be focused especially on extended versions of selected papers presented at the International Workshop on Systems Safety and Security—IWSSS, but other valuable and relevant contributions in this field could be submitted.
The International Workshop on Systems Safety and Security was initiated in 2013 by an enthusiastic researchers’ team. IWSSS 2019 is the 7th edition of the workshop, which has proven to be a prestigious scientific event.
The previous editions of our workshop brought together renowned professors and researchers, practitioners, and implementers from industry, young scientists and specialists from all over the world, making IWSSS a real bridge between academia and industry.
We warmly invite researchers to submit their contributions to this Special Issue. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- systems security and safety;
- industrial control systems resilience;
- formal methods for security;
- data security and privacy in critical systems;
- physical and logical access control;
- biometric identification of persons;
- malware detection, modeling, and analysis methods;
- security assessment, pen-testing, vulnerability evaluation;
- wireless sensor networks security;
- artificial intelligence used in the field of safety and security;
- industrial control systems security;
- assets tracking, monitoring, and surveillance solutions;
- advanced encryption techniques.
Authors of invited papers should be aware that the final submitted manuscript must provide a minimum of 50% new content.
