CALL FOR PAPERS
=====================================

The 5th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Internet-of-Things Security (AIoTS) 2023 will be held in Kyoto, Japan.（For more information, visit https://mujeebch.github.io/aiots2023/).

The workshop seeks submissions from researchers and experts in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), embedded systems, cyber-physical systems (CPSs), and cybersecurity to take the opportunity to use this workshop to share their work and open the discussion of new ideas on this always-evolving topic.

Workshop description:
=====================

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has received a lot of attention, especially for the success of deep learning in addressing problems that were considered hard before. Big players, such as Google, Amazon, and Baidu, are exploring the application of AI in different markets, including healthcare, FinTech, and autonomous vehicles. Together with AI, technologies like Internet-of-Things (IoT) have boosted the emerging Industry 4.0, where through the adoption of Industrial-IoT (IIoT) into the production chain, companies want smarter manufacturing that can be adapted to their customers’ needs. The accelerating adoption of new technologies brings challenges primarily associated with the cybersecurity of the applications, where confidentiality, integrity, and data availability are crucial. Security incident in IIoT impacts the safety properties since applications interact physically with people or other assets. The intersection of AI and cybersecurity can be seen as a two-fold relationship. On the one hand, AI techniques can be adopted to improve state-of-the-art security solutions. On the other hand, cybersecurity can contribute to improving the security of AI algorithms through the exploration of adversarial machine learning.
