Connectionists: Call for Papers: Secure & Trustworthy Cyber-Physical Systems (ACM SaT-CPS 2026)

[Maanak Gupta]

Dear Colleagues,



The ACM Workshop on Secure and Trustworthy Cyber-Physical Systems (SaT-CPS)
aims to represent a forum for researchers and practitioners from industry
and academia interested in various areas of CPS security. SaT-CPS seeks
novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions for
cybersecurity challenges in CPS. Submissions can be from different
application domains in CPS. The workshop will be held in Frankfurt am Main,
Germany, on June 25, 2026, in conjunction with the 16th ACM Conference on
Data and Application Security and Privacy (CODASPY 2026).

Instructions for Paper Authors

All submissions must describe original research, not published nor
currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. All
papers must be submitted electronically via the Easychair system:

https://easychair.org/my2/conference?conf=acmsatcps2026



Full-length papers

Papers must be at most 10 pages in length in double-column ACM format (as
specified at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).
Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the
workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM
Digital Library. The presenter must register for the workshop before the
deadline for author registration.



Position papers and Work-in-progress papers

We also invite short position papers and work-in-progress papers. Such
papers can be of length up to 6 pages in double-column ACM format (as
specified at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template), and
must clearly state "Position Paper" or "Work in progress," as the case may
be, in the title section of the paper. These papers will be reviewed, and
accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.



Important Dates

Due date for full workshop submissions: March 10, 2026 (23:50 Anywhere on
Earth (AoE))
