SmartSP 2025 : EAI International Conference on Security and Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems and Smart Vehicles

==== Scope
The recent proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), edge-fog-cloud computing, and interconnected networks envisions that smart cyber-physical systems (CPS), especially smart vehicles (SV), are capable of innovative solutions to change our lifestyles. Unavoidably, the potential benefits come along with new challenges and concerns regarding security and privacy.

The Third EAI International Conference on Security and Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems and Smart Vehicles (SmartSP 2025) is a global forum for researchers and developers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in security and privacy issues in this exciting area.

SmartSP 2025 seeks original/invited papers focusing on theoretical analysis, vulnerability discovery, novel system architecture construction and design, emerging applications, experimental studies, and the social impacts of CPS and SV. Both review/survey papers and technical papers are encouraged.

SmartSP 2025 also welcomes short papers that summarize speculative breakthroughs, work-in-progress, industry-featured projects, open problems, new application challenges, visionary ideas, and preliminary studies.
