Call for Papers: 2020 IEEE Systems Security Symposium

The Systems Engineering Research Center is an official Technical Sponsor of the Systems Security Symposium 2020.

The IEEE-INCOSE-NDIA Systems Security Symposium seeks research papers and application studies which focus on the development of secure, safe, and resilient systems. This symposium attempts to address the convergence of cybersecurity, safety, and engineering with interest in the effective application of security principles, methods, and tools to complex systems such as cyber-physical systems, autonomous systems, transportation vehicles, medical devices, large IoT systems, and other systems of interest. Preference will be given to papers and case studies which bridge theory to practice.

The conference caters to both practitioners and academics, providing a forum to exchange ideas and experiences on technology, methodology, applications, study cases, and practical experiences. Given this unique desire, two types of paper submissions are offered:

• Research papers: Manuscripts addressing novel ideas, theoretical issues, technology, methodology, or detailed studies. These academic-oriented papers will be peer reviewed and prioritized according to their contribution. Note: student papers should be submitted in this category and will be reviewed as such.
• Case studies and practical experiences: Extended abstracts presenting practical ideas, lessons learned, and real-world achievements. These papers are typically 1-3 pages in length. Accepted authors have the option to publish a full 8-page paper. These abstracts are reviewed for relevance but not necessarily academic contribution.

Papers of both categories will be published in the proceedings and have an 8-page maximum. All papers and proposals must be submitted electronically to the IEEE-INCOSE-NDIA SSS 2020 Submission Portal: http://edas.info/N25878. Tutorials (1/2 day) are encouraged; please add TUTORIAL to your paper title. Student papers are also encouraged. Best Paper awards provided for regular as well as student papers.
