With the fast development of intelligent technologies, traditional manufacturing technologies have been greatly upgraded by cyber-physical systems (CPSs), the Internet-of-Things (IoT), cloud computing, edge computing, etc. Intelligent manufacturing (IM) is a human, machine, material, environment integrated intelligent system composed of intelligent machines and human experts. It can carry out intelligent activities in the manufacturing process, such as analysis, reasoning, judgment, conception and decision-making.

However, there are more and more attacks on intelligent manufacturing systems and these attacks would result in serious consequences, such as costly downtime, demands for ransom, denial of service, etc. Cyberspace attacks on hardware, software, network and data could lead to the attacks on intelligent manufacturing systems, causing data leakage, machine failure, etc. Therefore, cyberspace security is an important role and a vital component of intelligent manufacturing security, and it is necessary to solve the challenges in the field of cyberspace security.

The purpose of this special session is to provide a forum for practitioners and researchers from diverse backgrounds to present and discuss their state-of-the-art ideas, research achievements, implementation experiences in Cyberspace Security and Intelligent Manufacturing.

This is a special session of the 13th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (http://cse.stfx.ca/~cybermatics/2020/cpscom/index.php). Please submit your paper via the submission site (TBA) and select the special session of “Cyberspace Security and Intelligent Computing” marked with “CPSComCSIM”.

Accepted conference papers will be published by IEEE (IEEE-DL and EI indexed). Selected papers, after further extensions and revisions, will be recommended to journal special issues. More details at the conference website:
