ASTRO: Adaptive Spatio-Temporal Reinforcement Optimization for GNN Powered Anomly Detection in Cyber Physical Systems

arXiv:2605.25135v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Anomaly detection in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environments is essential to protect the Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) from occuring run time false data injection and other malicious attacks. The increasing complexity of sensor networks and interconnected control loops makes it difficult to identify anomalous behavior hidden within high-dimensional and time-dependent signals. To address these challenges, this article introduces Adaptive Spatio-Temporal Reinforcement Optimization ASTRO (ASTRO), a novel
