UbiSec 2024-Call for Papers-Deadline 15 July 2024
by Qin Liu 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of UbiSec 2024 Call for Papers with Deadline (July 15, 2024). ============================== UbiSec 2024 ============================== Call for Papers (CFPs) of The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024 Organizers: Central South University, China Guangzhou University, China http://ubisecurity.org/2024/ ====================================================================== Keynote Speeches Section You are welcome to attend 5+ Keynote Speeches offerred by world-renowned professors and industry leaders. The detailed information will appear soon. (1) Keynote 1: Prof. Robert H. Deng, Singapore Management University, Singapore http://www.mysmu.edu/faculty/robertdeng/ (2) Keynote 2: Prof. Zonghua Gu, Ume University, Sweden https://www.umu.se/en/staff/zonghua-gu/ (3) Keynote 3: Prof. Md Zakirul Alam Bhuiyan, Fordham University, USA https://dependsys.com/dr-alam/ ====================================================================== Invited Talks Section TBD. ====================================================================== Panel Discussions Section TBD. ====================================================================== Special Issues Section TBD. ====================================================================== Welcome to participate in UbiSec 2024, Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024! Changsha is a famous historical and cultural city with a variety of interest. This city has been an important grain production base in China since ancient times. The green and verdant Mt. Yuelu stands in the city and Xiangjiang River is clear as a mirror passing through the city. Orange Isle lies in the heart of the river. In particular, Changsha is very close to Chairman Mao's former residence within one-hour driving. Nowadays, being an intellectual center, Changsha has over 100 research institutions and engineering laboratories. Hybrid rice breeding and the Tianhe supercomputer are the main scientific research achievements. The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) stems from three conference/symposium/workshop series: (1) The well-established SpaCCS conference series with Springer LNCS: UbiSec is inspired by the SpaCCS style of three tracks (Security, Privacy, and Anonymity, "Spa" for short), which covers "Big Security" leveraging computation, communication and storage ("CCS" for short) systems and networks. UbiSec extends this style with three new tracks: Cyberspace Security, Cyberspace Privacy, and Cyberspace Anonymity. (2) The UbiSafe symposium series: UbiSec follows the UbiSafe vision on "Ubiquitous Safety", also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SAFE" (pronounced "UbiSafe"). UbiSec extends this vision to "Ubiquitous Security", using "Big Security" to embrace NOT ONLY security, privacy and anonymity, BUT ALSO safety, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness and more, also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SEC(ure)" (pronounced "UbiSec"). (3) The IWCSS workshop series: UbiSec follows the IWCSS theme on "Cyberspace Security", with "Cyberspace" as the 5th national sovereign space besides the traditional four domains of land, sea, air, and aerospace. UbiSec extends this theme to "Ubiquitous Security", meaning that cyberspace will be secure, physical world will be secure, social networking systems will be secure, and thus "YOU (will) BE SECure"! The UbiSec 2024 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the fourth event in the series of conferences/symposia/workshops which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in cyberspace, physical world, and social networks. The Conference covers many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for cyberspace, physical world, and social networking systems. As applications of computer and information technology have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The Conference will provide a forum for world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging research fields. UbiSec 2024 follows the UbiSec 2023 conference in Exeter, UbiSec 2022 conference in Zhangjiajie and the UbiSec 2021 in Guangzhou, and also the traditions of previous successful SpaCCS/UbiSafe/IWCSS conference/symposium/workshop series, held in Nanjing, China (SpaCCS 2020/UbiSafe 2020), Guangzhou,China (IWCSS 2020); Altanta, USA (SpaCCS 2019/UbiSafe 2019), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2019); Melbourne, Australia (SpaCCS 2018/UbiSafe 2018), Guangzhou China (IWCSS 2018); Guangzhou, China (SpaCCS 2017/UbiSafe 2017/IWCSS 2017); Zhangjiajie, China (SpaCCS 2016/UbiSafe 2016); Helsinki, Finland (UbiSafe 2015); Beijing, China (UbiSafe 2014); Melbourne, Australia (UbiSafe 2013); Liverpool, UK (UbiSafe 2012); Changsha, China (UbiSafe 2011); Chengdu China (UbiSafe 2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (UbiSafe 2007). The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research fields of security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and networks. The conference will focus on broad areas of architectures, algorithms, techniques, and applications for cyberspace security, cyberspace privacy, and cyberspace anonymity. UbiSec 2024 topics include, but are not limited to the following: Track 1: Cyberspace Security --Security Model and Architecture --Software and System Security --Trustworthy Computing --Security in Cloud/Fog/Edge Computing and Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing --Machine Learning and AI Security --Network Security --Attacks and Defenses --Intrusion Detection and Prevention --Security in Web Services --Security in Mobile Social Networks --Security in Internet of Things --Fraud and Cyber Crime --Accounting and Auditing --Applied Cryptography --Database Security --Authentication --Forensics and Diagnostics for Security --Information Hiding --Security in Big Data and its Applications --Blockchain and Distributed System Security --Security in Hardware, Side Channels, and CyberPhysical Systems --Security in Formal Methods and Programming Languages Track 2: Cyberspace Privacy --Economics, Policies, Metrics, and Mechanisms of Privacy --Privacy Modeling and Analysis --Privacy-Preserving Computing --Privacy-Preserving Data Mining --Privacy-enhancing Technologies and Anonymity --Privacy for the Internet of Things --Privacy in Big Data and its Applications --Privacy-Preserving in Blockchain --Privacy-Preserving in Mobile Social Networks --Privacy-Preserving Crowdsensing --Privacy-Preserving Deep Learning Track 3: Cyberspace Anonymity --Anonymous Data Mining and Data Sharing --Anonymous Management in Trust Relationships --Anonymous Video Analytics Technology --Anonymity Metrics, Measures and Evaluations --Anonymity Models, Hardware/Device of Anonymity --Anonymity in Wireless Communication Systems --Anonymous Communication Protocols --Anonymity in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Sensor Networks --Anonymous Communication and Internet --Anonymous Social Networks, Structural k-Anonymity in Social Networks --Authentication Protocol Providing User Anonymity --Anonymous Information Storage and Management --Private and Anonymous Data Storage --Anonymity, Pseudonymity & Identity Management --Anonymity in Big Data and Cloud Scenarios --Anonymity in Health and Medical Databases --Anonymity in Sensor-Cloud Systems --Anonymity in Edge Computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2024 Author Notification: August 15, 2024 Author Registration Due: September 15, 2024 Camera-Ready Paper Due: September 15, 2024 Conference Dates: December 29 - 31, 2024 SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION INFORMATION All presented papers in the conference will be published in the conference proceedings with Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS).

DPM 2024 - [June 30 - FIRM] - CFP - Data Privacy Manamgement, co-located with ESORICS 2024, Sep 19
by Guillermo Navarro-Arribas 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

Please, accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************** Data Privacy Management (DPM 2024) 19th International Workshop September 19, 2024, Bydgoszcz, Poland (co-located with ESORICS 2024) website: https://deic.uab.cat/dpm/dpm2024/ ****************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES ====================== Submission Deadline: -- June 30, 2024 (extended) Notification: -- July 15, 2024 Camera Ready: -- August 19, 2024 ====== SCOPE ====== DPM is an annual international workshop covering research in data privacy management. Organizations are increasingly concerned about the privacy of information that they manage (as witnessed, for example, by lawsuits filed against organizations for violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus, the management of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and important for every organization. This poses several challenging problems, such as how to translate the high-level business goals into system-level privacy policies, administration of privacy-sensitive data, privacy preserving data integration and engineering, privacy preserving access control mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on privacy-sensitive data for partial answers. Starting from these observations, the aim of DPM is to discuss and exchange ideas related to data privacy management.

UbiSec 2024-Call for Papers-Deadline 15 July 2024
by Qin Liu 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of UbiSec 2024 Preliminary CFPs with Deadline (July 15, 2024). ============================== UbiSec 2024 ============================== Call for Papers (CFPs) of The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024 Organizer: Central South University, China http://ubisecurity.org/2024/ ====================================================================== Keynote Speeches Section TBD. ====================================================================== Invited Talks Section TBD. ====================================================================== Panel Discussions Section TBD. ====================================================================== Special Issues Section TBD. ====================================================================== Welcome to participate in UbiSec 2024, Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024! Changsha is a famous historical and cultural city with a variety of interest. This city has been an important grain production base in China since ancient times. The green and verdant Mt. Yuelu stands in the city and Xiangjiang River is clear as a mirror passing through the city. Orange Isle lies in the heart of the river. In particular, Changsha is very close to Chairman Mao's former residence within one-hour driving. Nowadays, being an intellectual center, Changsha has over 100 research institutions and engineering laboratories. Hybrid rice breeding and the Tianhe supercomputer are the main scientific research achievements. The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) stems from three conference/symposium/workshop series: (1) The well-established SpaCCS conference series with Springer LNCS: UbiSec is inspired by the SpaCCS style of three tracks (Security, Privacy, and Anonymity, "Spa" for short), which covers "Big Security" leveraging computation, communication and storage ("CCS" for short) systems and networks. UbiSec extends this style with three new tracks: Cyberspace Security, Cyberspace Privacy, and Cyberspace Anonymity. (2) The UbiSafe symposium series: UbiSec follows the UbiSafe vision on "Ubiquitous Safety", also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SAFE" (pronounced "UbiSafe"). UbiSec extends this vision to "Ubiquitous Security", using "Big Security" to embrace NOT ONLY security, privacy and anonymity, BUT ALSO safety, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness and more, also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SEC(ure)" (pronounced "UbiSec"). (3) The IWCSS workshop series: UbiSec follows the IWCSS theme on "Cyberspace Security", with "Cyberspace" as the 5th national sovereign space besides the traditional four domains of land, sea, air, and aerospace. UbiSec extends this theme to "Ubiquitous Security", meaning that cyberspace will be secure, physical world will be secure, social networking systems will be secure, and thus "YOU (will) BE SECure"! The UbiSec 2024 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the fourth event in the series of conferences/symposia/workshops which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in cyberspace, physical world, and social networks. The Conference covers many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for cyberspace, physical world, and social networking systems. As applications of computer and information technology have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The Conference will provide a forum for world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging research fields. UbiSec 2024 follows the UbiSec 2023 conference in Exeter, UbiSec 2022 conference in Zhangjiajie and the UbiSec 2021 in Guangzhou, and also the traditions of previous successful SpaCCS/UbiSafe/IWCSS conference/symposium/workshop series, held in Nanjing, China (SpaCCS 2020/UbiSafe 2020), Guangzhou,China (IWCSS 2020); Altanta, USA (SpaCCS 2019/UbiSafe 2019), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2019); Melbourne, Australia (SpaCCS 2018/UbiSafe 2018), Guangzhou China (IWCSS 2018); Guangzhou, China (SpaCCS 2017/UbiSafe 2017/IWCSS 2017); Zhangjiajie, China (SpaCCS 2016/UbiSafe 2016); Helsinki, Finland (UbiSafe 2015); Beijing, China (UbiSafe 2014); Melbourne, Australia (UbiSafe 2013); Liverpool, UK (UbiSafe 2012); Changsha, China (UbiSafe 2011); Chengdu China (UbiSafe 2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (UbiSafe 2007). The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research fields of security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and networks. The conference will focus on broad areas of architectures, algorithms, techniques, and applications for cyberspace security, cyberspace privacy, and cyberspace anonymity. UbiSec 2024 topics include, but are not limited to the following: Track 1: Cyberspace Security --Security Model and Architecture --Software and System Security --Trustworthy Computing --Security in Cloud/Fog/Edge Computing and Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing --Machine Learning and AI Security --Network Security --Attacks and Defenses --Intrusion Detection and Prevention --Security in Web Services --Security in Mobile Social Networks --Security in Internet of Things --Fraud and Cyber Crime --Accounting and Auditing --Applied Cryptography --Database Security --Authentication --Forensics and Diagnostics for Security --Information Hiding --Security in Big Data and its Applications --Blockchain and Distributed System Security --Security in Hardware, Side Channels, and CyberPhysical Systems --Security in Formal Methods and Programming Languages Track 2: Cyberspace Privacy --Economics, Policies, Metrics, and Mechanisms of Privacy --Privacy Modeling and Analysis --Privacy-Preserving Computing --Privacy-Preserving Data Mining --Privacy-enhancing Technologies and Anonymity --Privacy for the Internet of Things --Privacy in Big Data and its Applications --Privacy-Preserving in Blockchain --Privacy-Preserving in Mobile Social Networks --Privacy-Preserving Crowdsensing --Privacy-Preserving Deep Learning Track 3: Cyberspace Anonymity --Anonymous Data Mining and Data Sharing --Anonymous Management in Trust Relationships --Anonymous Video Analytics Technology --Anonymity Metrics, Measures and Evaluations --Anonymity Models, Hardware/Device of Anonymity --Anonymity in Wireless Communication Systems --Anonymous Communication Protocols --Anonymity in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Sensor Networks --Anonymous Communication and Internet --Anonymous Social Networks, Structural k-Anonymity in Social Networks --Authentication Protocol Providing User Anonymity --Anonymous Information Storage and Management --Private and Anonymous Data Storage --Anonymity, Pseudonymity & Identity Management --Anonymity in Big Data and Cloud Scenarios --Anonymity in Health and Medical Databases --Anonymity in Sensor-Cloud Systems --Anonymity in Edge Computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2024 Author Notification: August 15, 2024 Author Registration Due: September 15, 2024 Camera-Ready Paper Due: September 15, 2024 Conference Dates: December 29 - 31, 2024 SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION INFORMATION All presented papers in the conference will be published in the conference proceedings with Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS).
