            <p><b>Call for papers: IEEE Transactions on Industrial
                Informatics</b></p>
            <p>Due to multiple requests, we are pleased to announce a
              deadline extension.<br>
            </p>
            <p><b>Special Section on Cyber-Physical Threats and
                Solutions for Autonomous Transportation Systems</b><br>
              Theme: The rapid evolution of technology has radically
              changed our everyday lives from multiple points of view.
              Among the others, transportation systems are nowadays
              populated by smart and interconnected vehicles that need
              to communicate with each other and with critical
              infrastructures to orchestrate traffic and mobility.
              Transportation systems are hence operated through multiple
              technologies that need to cooperate to provide efficient
              delivery of goods and human mobility, as well as to
              provide security in the overall networks. The latter task
              is complicated by the fact that vehicles autonomously
              drive and cooperate in the network without human
              intervention. The overall transportation network can be
              therefore represented by a cyber-physical system, where a
              large number of sensors, actuators, and multiple
              technologies are connected and exchange information. To
              guarantee the overall network<br>
              security, attack detection and the design of suitable
              countermeasures play a fundamental role. The security of
              cyber-physical systems has been widely studied in
              literature. However, most of the proposed solutions target
              either the cyber or the physical threats, without
              providing a unified view able to detect and mitigate more
              complicated attacks. The purpose of this special issue is
              therefore to collect the latest research achievements in
              the cyber-physical threats and countermeasures in
              autonomous transportation systems.<br>
              <br>
              This special section will focus on (but not limited to)
              the following topics:<br>
              - Methods for detection of cyber-physical attacks in
              transportation systems<br>
              - Design of countermeasures for cyber-physical attacks in
              transportation systems<br>
              - Hardware solutions for mitigating the attacks on
              controller area networks of automotive<br>
              - Protocol and semantics agnostic security solutions to
              automotive CPS<br>
              - Formal modeling of cyber-physical attacks in
              transportation systems<br>
              - Privacy preserving solutions for cyber-physical
              transportation systems<br>
              - Cyber-physical threats in platoons/swarms<br>
              - Scalability of the security solutions in autonomous
              transportation systems<br>
              - Blockchain solutions against cyber-physical threats in
              autonomous transportation systems<br>
              - Security testing of vulnerabilities in automotive CPS</p>
