Call for papers: Enhancing Cyber-Physical Resilience Against Digital Breakdowns
A Call for Workshop Papers is now open for the upcoming “Cyber-Physical Resilience and Security Against Digital Breakdowns” workshop, organized by the University of Cyprus, a partner of the R2D2 Project. This workshop is part of the 2025 IEEE International Conference on Cyber Security and Resilience (IEEE CSR), taking place in Chania, Crete, from August 4–6, 2025.
Why Cyber-Physical Resilience Matters
Critical infrastructures—such as energy, communications, banking, transportation, and public services—are the foundation of modern economies. As these systems become more interconnected, ensuring their resilience against cyber and physical threats is more urgent than ever.
Call for Papers
The CSR CYPRES Workshop is now accepting high-quality research papers from funded cybersecurity and resilience projects. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions from a broad range of topics, which include but are not limited to the following:
- Emergency communication systems for first responders and citizens
- Interdependencies modelling and cascading effects analysis
- Cybersecurity anomaly and intrusion detection and mitigation
- Applications for citizen preparedness
- Use cases, pilot trials, and living labs for crisis and disaster management
- Policy recommendations for enhanced civil protection planning
- Crisis and disaster management across different critical sectors
- for threat modelling and vulnerability assessment
- Methodologies for critical asset management during digital breakdowns
- Digital Twins, simulation engines, and scenario creation tools
- Risk estimation and impact assessment
- Ethical, Legal and Societal Aspects (ELSA) for resilience
