        <p><b>Call for papers: IEEE Transactions on Industrial
            Informatics</b></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>
