This symposium will investigate the cyber aspects of the smart grid and how it connects, interacts, and impacts the physical systems. The focus will be on innovative technologies, modeling and solutions, and methodologies that advance the smart grid cybersecurity while considering the prevailing privacy issues. Papers describing cyber resilient infrastructure, communication architectures, risk assessment and measurement, cyber-physical security will be in scope.
