Cyber Security Based on Artificial Intelligence for Cyber-Physical Systems

The ten papers in this special issue focus on cybersecurity for cyber-physical systems (CPSs). The systems have become very complex, more sophisticated, intelligent and autonomous. They offer very complex interaction between heterogeneous cyber and physical components; additionally to this complexity, they are exposed to important disturbances due to unintentional and intentional events which make the prediction of their behaviors a very difficult task. Meanwhile, cyber security for CPS is attracting the attention of research scientists in both industry and academia since the number of cyber-attacks have increased and their behaviors have become more sophisticated, commonly known as zero-day threats. the papers in this issue aim to bring together researchers from academic and industry to share their vision of AI application in the cyber security context, and present challenges and recent works and advances related to AI-based cyber security applied to CPSs.
