The 4th International Workshop on Engineering and Cybersecurity of Critical Systems (EnCyCriS 2023) is organized in conjunction with the 45th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2023).

EnCyCriS invites contributions from research scholars and practitioners working on challenges and solutions for engineering and cybersecurity of critical software-based systems on the following topics:

• Safe, reliable, and secure by design - and - Safety and security co-engineering.
• Threat modeling and analyzing software systems security in critical infrastructure.
• Identification and impact estimation for response of cyber effects on software and hardware of critical infrastructures using models, simulations, and digital twins.
• The role and impact of humans in cybersecurity in critical infrastructures development and operation.

This workshop facilitates discourse and discussions among researchers, practitioners, and students who are working on challenges and solutions related to the industrial revolution, with a particular focus on sharing industry experience and project results pertaining to cyber threats on critical systems; secure software engineering; and attack detection and response mechanisms.

Venue

The conference main event will be organized as a hybrid event in Melbourne, Australia.
The workshop is aiming to be organized physically as a co-located event to ICSE 2023. Be advised that although we aim for a hybrid event (both physically and digitally), this option is not confirmed yet and may be changed. Virtual attendance option will be updated. The workshop will not cover participants or authors expenses for travel or registration.

Registration

All participants, including workshop organizers, keynote speakers, and invited guests, must register for the workshop through ICSE webpage. Registrations are mandated and must be performed at least 10 days prior to this workshop. We cannot guarantee participation after this date
