As AI systems increasingly operate as\u00a0autonomous decision-making components within critical infrastructures, traditional assumptions regarding\u00a0system boundaries, trust models, runtime assurance, and system controllability are being fundamentally\u00a0reshaped. Compared with traditional software systems, AI-driven systems exhibit autonomous\u00a0decision-making, dynamic adaptation, heterogeneous collaboration, and real-time responsiveness, which\u00a0impose new requirements on system security, resilience, runtime trustworthiness, and risk-aware\u00a0coordination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This special track focuses on the security and trustworthiness of AI-enabled critical systems, including\u00a0intelligent transportation systems, autonomous platforms, edge-cloud infrastructures, distributed systems,\u00a0and large-scale digital services. The track aims to explore emerging challenges in secure AI orchestration,\u00a0resilient autonomous decision-making, trustworthy system coordination, runtime monitoring and\u00a0adaptation, and AI-driven infrastructure protection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">By promoting interdisciplinary research across AI systems, cybersecurity, distributed computing,\u00a0dependable systems, and intelligent infrastructures, this special track seeks to advance the development of\u00a0secure, resilient, and governable intelligent systems for next-generation critical applications.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Topics of Interest (But not limited to)&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1669785090648-608172ee-d777&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Security and trustworthiness of AI-driven systems<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Runtime governance and controllability of AI-driven systems<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Runtime assurance, behavioral verification, and trustworthy adaptation for intelligent\u00a0systems<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Secure orchestration of AI agents and autonomous systems<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Governable and resilient AI agent systems<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">AI-enabled critical infrastructure protection<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Secure autonomous and intelligent transportation systems<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">AI-enabled cyber-physical system security and resilience<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Multi-agent coordination and collaborative intelligence security<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Adversarial resilience and trustworthy AI deployment<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Human-AI collaborative security and governance mechanisms<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Secure edge intelligence and distributed AI systems<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Privacy-aware coordination and trustworthy collaboration for AI-driven infrastructures<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Fault tolerance and reliability for intelligent infrastructures<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">AI system orchestration and runtime security management<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Risk-aware decision mechanisms for autonomous intelligent systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Paper Submission Guidelines&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1778952201377-56c357f8-bbb9&#8243;][vc_column_text]All submissions for this special track must be written in English and conform to the Springer LNCS proceedings format with the following page limits: 15 pages for papers including references.
