CALL FOR PAPERS

4th International workshop in Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Internet-of-Things Security (AIoTS)

Co-located with ACNS2022 (June 20-23), Rome, Italy.
=====================
Workshop description:
=====================

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has got a lot of attention, especially, for the success of deep learning to address problems that were considered hard before. Big players such as Google, Amazon and Baidu are exploring the application of AI in different markets like healthcare, FinTech and autonomous vehicles. Along with AI, other technologies such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) have boosted other areas like the case of Industry 4.0, where through the adoption of Industrial-IoT (IIoT) into the production chain companies want to have a smarter manufacture that can be adapted to their customers’ needs. The accelerating adoption of new technologies brings new challenges especially associated with the cybersecurity of the applications, where confidentiality, integrity and availability of data are important. Security incident in IIoT impacts the safety properties since applications interact physically with people or other assets. The intersection of AI and cybersecurity can be seen as a two-fold relationship. On the one hand, AI techniques can be adopted to improve the state-of-the-art of security solutions, while on the other hand, cybersecurity can contribute to improve the study of the security of AI algorithms through the exploration of adversarial machine learning. This workshop aims to open a space where new research ideas from different areas converge into the intersection of AI, IIoT, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and cybersecurity. We encourage researchers and experts in the fields of AI, embedded systems, CPS and cybersecurity to take the opportunity to use this workshop for sharing their work and open the discussion of new ideas in this always-evolving topic.
