Automotive industry is a critical industry that keeps modern conveniences of life working. However, more exposed interfaces and increasing connectivity in vehicles and the infrastructures supporting them have made cyber attacks on them now a clear and present danger for all the stakeholders of this industry. The ACM Workshop on Automotive Cybersecurity (AutoSec 2019) brings together audience that include university researchers, scientists, and industry professionals to contribute to new theories, technologies and systems related to security challenges in vehicles and their supporting infrastructures. AutoSec 2019 will be held in conjunction with the 9th ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy (CODASPY 2019) and jointly sponsored by ACM SIGSAC and NSF. AutoSec 2019 will take place in Dallas, Texas, USA, on March 27, 2019.

We solicit unpublished research papers, both regular (6 pages max) and short position (4 pages max) papers, that address the latest practices, experiences, and lessons learned on Automotive Cybersecurity. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
ECU security and forensics
Firmware security and forensics
Automotive embedded system security and forensics
Autonomous vehicle system security
Electric vehicle system security
Connected vehicle system security
Medium and heavy duty vehicle system security
Intelligent transportation system security
Automotive sensor security
Infotainment system security
In-vehicle network security
Vehicle-to-vehicle network security
Platooning security
Charging infrastructure security
Automotive supply chain security
Automotive cybersecurity testbed construction
Driver behavior analysis
Driver and passenger privacy

Submission Guidelines
Regular papers for AutoSec 2019 should be up to 6 pages and submissions for short position papers or work in progress papers should be no more than 4 pages, excluding well-marked references and appendices, in double-column ACM format (as specified at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates/). Submissions should clearly state the author names and their affiliations. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and published by the ACM as part of the CODASPY symposium proceedings. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is not allowed. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Submission of papers is through the EasyChair conference system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=autosec2019. Authors need to have an account in the system or obtain one prior to submission.
