The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Intel Labs recently launched a partnership to support novel, transformative, multidisciplinary approaches that address the problem of securing current and emerging cyber-physical systems, the infrastructures they form, and those integrated with them. The partnership aims to facilitate a long-term research community designed to advance research and education at the intersection of cybersecurity, privacy, and cyber-physical systems. "Unlike small, single-sourced embedded systems, modern cyber-physical systems incorporate components from different providers using explicit interface standards that specify communication protocols, physical operation characteristics, real-time sensing and human operators informed by real-time data from the cyber-physical sensors," according to the joint NSF/Intel solicitation. The program includes an Ideas Lab that aims to help foster a community of researchers at the intersection of cyber-physical system, cybersecurity, and privacy. "The Ideas Lab process entails participation in an intensive five-day residential workshop, including the development of multidisciplinary collaborative proposals through a real-time and iterative review process," the solicitation says.
