With the extensive growth of novel hardware and software compositions creating smart, autonomously acting devices in recent years, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) become attractive enabling efficient end-to-end workflows and new forms of user-machine interaction. On one hand, these CPS applications can provide critical services in various emerging application domains such as energy management, health care, traffic control, industrial measurement and surveillance, etc. performance of internal functionality and processes highly relies on the design and optimization of intelligent models, security algorithms and resilient components due to their heterogeneous, evolving and distributed nature.
Recent advancement of Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security has been well investigated and applied to CPS systems, but still meets the challenges in a large-scale distributed CPS system. In addition, resilient services are critically required in a CPS to provide "acceptance-level" operational normalcy, e.g. state awareness, disturbance recognition and responses, etc.; nonetheless, existing approaches and tools are only able to support limited resilience in a non-dynamic manner, i.e., fail to consider and respond to a comprehensive profile of run-time situation without needs of the devices and individuals in a CPS. In terms of a large-scale CPS, more issues need to be addressed such as how to securely maintain the resilient services, how to introduce intelligent responses in a CPS based on retrieved and/or recognized run-time states, and so on.
This special issue is intended for researchers, engineers and practitioners from both academia and industry, who are interested in issues on intelligent models, cyber security and resilience in large-scale CPS systems.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
1. Intelligent Models in a Cyber Physical System
2. Data Security in a Cyber Physical System
3. Service Resilience in a Cyber Physical System
4. Machine Learning for Cyber Security and Privacy Protection in a CPS
5. AI and Deep Learning in an Industrial CPS
6. CPS Data Hiding in Plain- or Cipher-Formats

9. Perception, Recognition and Resilient Responses in a Large-Scale CPS
10. Process Resilience and Adaptation in a Large-Scale CPS
