Critical infrastructures, such as energy, transportation, and healthcare systems, are indispensable for the smooth functioning of a nation and the well-being of its citizens.

Given the recent geopolitical landscape, safeguarding these infrastructures from diverse threats has become paramount to ensuring national security and the quality of life of the population.

At the heart of critical infrastructure lie safety-critical cyber-physical systems (SC-CPS). The Internet of Things (IoT) has long been touted as a pivotal technology for remotely monitoring and controlling these systems. However, the rapidly evolving IoT landscape, coupled with advancements in artificial intelligence, has introduced significant technical hurdles in guaranteeing the resilient operation of SC-CPS.

To fully leverage the potential of IoT deployment in critical infrastructure, a comprehensive, system-level approach is imperative. This entails a wide spectrum of activities, including:

• Developing innovative communication technologies, protocols, and testbeds
• Analyzing the intricate interplay between cyber and physical systems through digital twins, along with their vulnerabilities and advantages
• Conducting field deployment studies and exploring emerging application scenarios

This workshop aims to serve as a platform for disseminating the latest advancements in IoT applications for SC-CPS, fostering collaboration among multidisciplinary research communities in IoT and cyber-physical systems, and contributing to the broader research landscape.
