-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Issue on Reliability and Performance of Cyber-Physical Systems Datum: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 11:03:58 +0200 Von: Riccardo Di Pietro rickydip86@GMAIL.COM Antwort an: Riccardo Di Pietro rickydip86@GMAIL.COM An: tccc-announce@COMSOC.ORG

The special issue on the reliability and performance of cyber-physical systems invites original papers dealing with reliability and performance modeling, analysis and optimization of cyber-physical systems. Application areas of interest will include but will not be limited to manufacturing, process control, healthcare, smart grid, smart place (e.g., smart home, smart city), search & rescue, autonomous transportation, aerospace and defense. The topic has become a mainstream research direction during the past decade. The special issue aims to present latest developments and achievements in modeling and optimizing cyber-physical systems, and to maintain a balance between applications and methodologies. The work submitted to the special issue should be new and unpublished.

*Topics* that are within the scope of the special issue include, but are not limited to:

- Reliability measures and analysis of cyber-physical systems; - Reliability importance analysis of cyber-physical subsystems or components; Modeling and analysis of Internet of Things (IoT) systems; - Modeling and analysis of Cloud computing for cyber-physical systems; - Modeling and analysis of networked and intelligent embedded systems; Modeling and analysis of sensor systems and networks; - Simulation of cyber-physical systems; - Resilience of cyber-physical systems; - Security of cyber-physical systems; - Data survivability vs. security in cyber-physical systems; - Safety of cyber-physical systems; - Risk of cyber-physical systems; - Maintenance of cyber-physical systems; - External impacts and vulnerability of cyber-physical systems; - Failure propagation in cyber-physical systems; - Optimization of cyber-physical systems; - Multi-objective optimization for cyber-physical systems (cost, reliability, efficiency, etc); - Attack-defense games in cyber-physical systems;

*Submissions* Papers should be submitted at http://ees.elsevier.com/ress/ following the Reliability Engineering and System Safety author submission guidelines given at http://www.elsevier.com/journals/reliability-engineering-andsystem-safety/09... .

All submissions will go through the standard review process of the Reliability Engineering and System Safety. Submitting authors should indicate their desire to be considered for the special issue in the cover letter to *Editor-in-Chief Carlos Guedes Soares* completed during the submission process. For more information about the special issue, please contact Guest Editors of the special issue.
