The ACM Workshop on Secure and Trustworthy Cyber-Physical Systems (SaT-CPS 2026) is a specialized event dedicated to advancing the security and reliability of cyber-physical systems. Scheduled for June 25, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, this workshop is organized alongside the 16th ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy (CODASPY 2026). The event brings together experts, researchers, and practitioners to discuss the latest developments and challenges in CPS security.
Understanding Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-physical systems represent the integration of computational and physical processes. These systems combine computing, communication, and physical devices, operating across various spatial and temporal scales. CPS technologies are transforming industries such as agriculture, aeronautics, civil infrastructure, energy, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, and transportation.
As CPS applications become more widespread, their impact on daily life and critical infrastructure continues to grow. The seamless interaction between cyber and physical components enables new levels of automation and connectivity, driving innovation and competition across sectors.
Security and Trust: Core Themes of SaT-CPS 2026
With the increasing adoption of CPS, ensuring their security and trustworthiness is essential. Malfunctioning or insecure CPS devices can lead to significant risks for individuals, businesses, and nations. The workshop emphasizes the importance of developing robust security measures to protect these systems from malicious activities.
SaT-CPS 2026 provides a platform for sharing research, discussing emerging threats, and exploring innovative solutions. Participants will engage in discussions on securing CPS applications and addressing the unique challenges posed by their integration into critical infrastructure and smart environments.
Event Details and Participation
The workshop invites submissions from researchers and professionals interested in CPS security. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, contributing to the ongoing advancement of the field. Key dates include the submission deadline on March 17, 2026, notification of acceptance on April 17, 2026, and the workshop itself on June 25, 2026.
SaT-CPS 2026 serves as a vital forum for the CPS community to collaborate, share insights, and shape the future of secure and trustworthy cyber-physical systems.
