This two-day workshop brings together leading researchers and students to explore computational and mathematical methods for ensuring the security and resilience of cyber-physical systems (CPS). Spanning foundational theory, algorithmic design, and real-world applications to critical infrastructure such as power grids, communication and financial networks, the program features six invited talks by experts in control, statistics, machine learning, game theory, and operations research. The workshop fosters in-depth exchange between speakers and invited students from institutions across India, as part of IIT Kharagpur's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.
