************************************************************
The WCICSS-2016 is a meeting point for professionals and researchers,
IT security professionals, managers, developers, educators, vendors
and service providers who are involved in development, integration,
assessment, implementation, and operation of industrial cybersecurity
technologies. Therefore, the conference will provide opportunities
to discuss both the current status and emerging trends in protection
of industrial control systems.

The aim of WCICSS is to provide an opportunity for academicians and
professionals from various educational fields with cross-disciplinary
interests to bridge the knowledge gap, promote research esteem and the
evolution of pedagogy. The WCICSS-2016 invites research papers that
encompass conceptual analysis, design implementation and performance
evaluation.

The topics in WCICSS-2016 include but are not confined to the
following areas:
