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.

IARCS Verification Seminar Series -- Talk by Prakash Saivasan on August 6 at 1900 hrs IST

by VSS IARCS

Dear all, The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given by Prakash Saivasan, an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. The talk is scheduled on Tuesday, August 06, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MWRjc29rN3…> ). The details of the talk can be found on our webpage ( https://fmindia.cmi.ac.in/vss/), and also appended to the body of this email. The Verification Seminar Series, an initiative by the Indian Association for Research in Computing Science (IARCS), is a monthly, online talk-series, broadly in the area of Formal Methods and Programming Languages, with applications in Verification and Synthesis. The aim of this talk-series is to provide a platform for Formal Methods researchers to interact regularly. In addition, we hope that it will make it easier for researchers to explore newer problems/areas and collaborate on them, and for younger researchers to start working in these areas. All are welcome to join. Best regards, Akash, Deepak, Madhukar, Srivathsan ============================================================= Title: Verifying Programs in Weak Memory Models with Persistency Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09 (Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194) Abstract: In this talk, we will consider the problem of verifying concurrent programs. In here, we are given a set of programs that communicate through shared memory and a specification, we wish to algorithmically check if the programs violate the specification. The programmers, while writing code usually assume that the memory operations are immediate (referred to as sequential consistency). However, the modern day architectures, to optimise the running time, re-order the memory operations in a non-trivial manner. This leads to various memory models such as TSO, PSO and so on. We will walk through some of these memory models during the talk. The recent intel processor introduced persistency mechanism that allows for the writes to be archived. This can then be used to restart the computation in case of a crash. The main focus of the talk will be how to verify programs when persistency is combined with weak memory. Bio: Prakash Saivasan is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. He obtained his PhD from Chennai Mathematical Institute in 2016 and has done postdocs at T U Braunschweig and T U Kaiserslautern in Germany. His areas of interest are automata theory, logic, concurrency, and formal verification.
