Science hackathons for cyberphysical system security research: putting CPS tesdbed platforms to good use

International audienceA challenge is to develop cyber-physical system scenarios that reflect the diversity and complexity of real-life cyber-physical systems in the research questions that they address. Time-bounded collaborative events, such a hackathons, jams and sprints, are increasingly used as a means of bringing groups of individuals together , in order to explore challenges and develop solutions. This paper describes our experiences, usign a science hackathon to bring individual researchers together, in order to develop a common usecase implemented on a shared CPS testeb platform that embodies the diversity in their own security research questions. A qualitative study of the event was conducted, in order to evaluate the success of the process, with a view to improving future similar event
