Goal and tasks

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and industrial experts involved in the development and advisory support of proactive security complex models & algorithms design. The main objective is related to the creation of a broad enough futuristic contextual smart reality for properly identifying and deeper analyzing of future cybersecurity synergies, gaps & triggers related to human – machine symbiosis. Complex dynamic system models, HPC, morphological & system analysis, together with ML, Generative AI & other AI algorithms are expected also to be used, adding also expert data proper fusion. Additional human factor stimulation and biofeedback data elicitation will be performed within the results in a suitable format, obtaining in this way an ad hoc analytical verification for the prognosis. Final joint H-M results discussions during a round-table format will be organized, assuring a common and holistic understanding on the future H-M cybersecurity synergies, assuring better understanding of the prognosis from human perspective.

Key topics:

• Future Cybersecurity Analyses
• Dynamic Systems Modelling Implementations
• HPC Prognosis Validation
• Future Trends Analysis
• Morphological & System Analysis
• Agent-Based Models & Interpretations
• Human-Machine Symbiotic Assessment & Verification
• Generative AI Training & Support
• Multicriteria Assessment & Decision Making
