Workshop on Secure and Intelligent Systems
A venue for research at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and IoT-enabled smart systems — where intelligence and security are designed together, not bolted on afterward.
Why this workshop
The rapid growth of IoT devices and smart-space infrastructure has expanded the attack surface exposed to malicious actors, while growing reliance on AI for autonomous decision-making introduces new classes of vulnerability — from adversarial manipulation to data poisoning.
WSIS brings together researchers, engineers, and practitioners working across cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and IoT-enabled smart systems. The workshop's premise is simple: intelligence and security should be co-designed, not treated as separate concerns bolted onto a finished system.
We welcome original contributions reporting theoretical advances, system designs, empirical studies, and position papers — from early-career researchers and established groups alike.
