-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Mihalis Psarakis <mpsarak(a)UNIPI.GR> Gesendet: 21. August 2018 17:39:58 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on "Secure Embedded IoT Devices for Resilient Critical Infrastructures" *** Apologies for multiple copies *** ============================================================================ ==== C a l l F o r P a p e r s IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL Special Issue: Secure Embedded IoT Devices for Resilient Critical Infrastructures URL: http://ieee-iotj.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/CFP-SI-Secure-Embedded-IoT-D evices-for-Resilient-CIs.pdf ============================================================================ ==== The Internet of Things (IoT) opens the door to new technological opportunities for a wide range of applications that cover e-health, smart homes and automation, e-commerce, location-based services, smart vehicles, fleet management and remote system monitoring. However, at the same time as these technological opportunities grow so does the threat surface for potential adversaries targeting at various, interconnected ICT systems and consequently at ICT-dependent critical systems, such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems) systems. At this point, attackers could take advantage from the incorporation of the paradigm to exploit new security gaps, probably caused by unforeseen interoperability and adaptability problems. Indeed, the deployment of Internet-enabled embedded devices that are distributed over major critical domains, may create indirect and non-obvious inter-connections with the underlying Critical Infrastructures (CIs). Examples of such inter-connected systems may include traffic monitoring and control systems communicating with smart vehicles, energy related systems communicating with smart homes and smart meters, monitoring systems connected with autonomous sensors in nuclear plants, power grids and body area networks. There is a need to further explore the security issues related to IoT technologies to assure the resilience of CIs against advanced IoT-based attacks. The goal of this special issue is therefore to address the diverse security challenges and related to IoT-enabled CIs (IoT-CIs) and their resilience to advanced threats. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Security analysis and requirements in the coupling of IoT-CIs * Vulnerabilities, threat models and risk management in IoT-CIs * Reference architectures for the secure coupling of IoT in CI scenarios * Embedded security for mobile devices and BYOD * Network-layer attacks and defense mechanisms between IoT devices and CIs * Key management and access control in IoT-CIs * Resilience models for advanced threats in IoT-CIs * Advanced and lightweight awareness models for large IoT-CIs * Privacy and location privacy for IoT-CIs ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2018 * First Reviews Due: December 15, 2018 * Revision Due: January 15, 2019 * Second Reviews Due/Notification: Feb. 15, 2019 * Final Manuscript Due: March 15, 2019 * Publication Date: 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [failsafe-workshop] SUBMISSION EXTENSION 24th of AUGUST Datum: Thu, 16 Aug 2018 16:40:45 +0100 Von: Michael Breza <mjb04(a)doc.ic.ac.uk> An: failsafe-workshop(a)imperial.ac.uk Hello, **** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: 24th of AUGUST **** FAILSAFE 2018 Call For Papers The Second ACM International Workshop on the Engineering of Reliable, Robust, and Secure Embedded Wireless Sensing Systems http://wp.doc.ic.ac.uk/failsafe/ The FAILSAFE workshop will provide a forum to discuss tools and techniques to address the difficulties and challenges of deploying Embedded Wireless Sensor Systems (EWSS) in the wild, and aim to produce reliable, robust systems. We seek submissions of up to 8 pages describing and presenting data of problems and failures of experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in all aspects of sensor networks, mobile devices, and wireless communication. We solicit work that discusses real Deployments and ways to engineer them, Security of EWSS, both ways to engineer security at design time, and approaches to run time security, and Application resilience including designed resilience for control systems. We encourage submissions of the above topics of interest that cover, but are not limited to: We would also like submissions about any tools, methods, techniques, or approaches to engineer robust and resilient EWSS. This includes robustness and resilience faults and failures from the environment, human error, or malicious activities. Examples include novel simulation frameworks, the use of formal methods like model checking, design methodologies, languages that explicitly handle faults and failures, forms of unit, integration, or run time testing, models to test performance during faults and failures, and anything else relevant to this discussion. We address three main areas. Deployments and how to design them: - Testing frameworks, models, simulators, formal methods that deal with sensor system deployment failures, and can be used to prevent similar failures of wireless sensor systems. This includes failure of the sensor systems themselves, or the affect that their failure would have on the application that uses their data. - Monitoring tools, control systems, or code update systems for use in sensor system deployments to detect and diagnose node or system performance issues, failures, or malicious activity. - Any account of a real ENSS deployment with an emphasis on any design tools or methodologies used, and an assessment of the benefit that they provided. - Examples of a deployment that was tested, and failed due to unexpected circumstances. The testing methodology must be presented and discussed, as well as how it failed to account for the phenomenon that caused the failure, and a potential solution described. - Failure and the diagnosis of an actual deployment of mobile apps, networks and systems. Must include some data and analysis of what caused the failure. Secure Design and Operation of EWSS: - Approaches to address faults and failures caused by malicious activity aimed at the disruption of the EWSS or the application that uses it. - Formal models of security attacks. - Secure by design approaches to EWSS. - Runtime security or intrusion detection systems for EWSS. - Any documented example of a real EWSS deployment that either was attacked by malicious agents, or that deployed security mechanisms, with a description of what was done. Resilient and Robust Applications and Control: - Design methods to create applications or controllers that are resilient and robust to the loss, delay, or corruption of data from an EWSS. - Applications of formal methods to design and/or verify resilient and robust sensor networks. - Examples or methods to engineer coupled communication and control systems that are resilient and robust. - Examples of real deployment using wireless sensors for a controller with instances of failure or any design methodology used, or any security considerations taken. Submission Deadline, 17th of August 2018 Notification, 10th of September 2018 Final Version Due, 20th of September 2018 Workshop, 4th of November 2018 If you have any further questions about this call or the suitability of your work, please email: michael.breza04(a)imperial.ac.uk _______________________________________________ failsafe-workshop mailing list failsafe-workshop(a)imperial.ac.uk https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/failsafe-workshop

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM/IEEE IPSN 2019: Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 14 Aug 2018 14:39:59 -0400 Von: Shijia Pan <shijiapan(a)CMU.EDU> Antwort an: Shijia Pan <shijiapan(a)CMU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 18th ACM/IEEE The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) =================================================================== April 16-18, 2019, Montreal, Canada IPSN'19 is part of CPS-IoT Week 2019, co-located with HSCC, ICCPS, CPS-IoT, and RTAS. http://ipsn.acm.org/2019 =================================================================== The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) is a leading annual forum on research in networked sensing and control, broadly defined. IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of multiple of these areas. Like prior years, IPSN 2019 will continue its co-location with CPS-IoT WEEK, the premier venue for research and development of Cyberphysical Systems, and its strong focus on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded, human-in-the-loop, or social sensors, as well as new hardware and software platforms, design methods, architectures, modelling, implementation, evaluation, deployment experiences, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems and the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Sensor data storage, retrieval, processing - - Streaming sensor system tasking and operation - - Coding, compression, and information theory - - Theoretical foundation and fundamental bounds - - Network and system architectures and protocols - - IoT gateway platform architecture and services - - Outdoor, wide-area sensing systems - - Location, time, and other network services - - Programming models, languages, and systems - - Programming models for IoT ensembles - - Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools - - Operating systems and runtime environments - - Applications in health, wellness & sustainability - - Applications in smart cities and urban health - - Experiences, challenges, comparisons of platforms - - Discovery, coordination, and use of IoT services - - Security and privacy in heterogeneous systems - - IoT reliability, adaptability, and dependability - - Technical assessment of emerging IoT standards - - Wearable systems and data processing algorithms - - Sensor-enabled drone platforms and algorithms - - In addition to IPSN's traditional focus, IPSN 2019 will place a particular emphasis on embedded machine learning and computer vision, with a special track centered on these topics. In this case, topics of interest include but are not limited to: - - Machine learning and deep learning on sensor data - - New hardware and system design to enable machine learning on sensor data - - Novel embedded machine learning algorithms - - Data related issues, such as methods, tools, and analysis - - Computer vision for resource-constrained and mobile platforms *********Submission Guidelines********* Coming soon. *********Response Process********* As in previous years, IPSN will also elicit a review and response process. After the initial review, the program committee may request a short response from selected papers for additional clarifications. The authors will get a short time window of roughly 24 hours to respond. Participation to the response process is not mandatory. *****Joint statement from IPSN and IoTDI***** The two conferences are collaborating to create new synergies, also exploiting their CPSWEEK bi-annual co-location. Prospective authors are thus strongly encouraged to consider these guidelines: - Contributions of embedded nature and applying to network segments from the IoT gateway to field devices should be submitted to IPSN. Examples include localization, low-power wireless networking, and embedded data processing. - Contributions with an end-to-end perspective or applying to network segments from the IoT gateway to the cloud should be submitted to IoTDI. Examples include cloud data processing, edge computing, and systems covering multiple network segments. The TPC chairs of both conferences may agree to move a submitted paper from one to the other if they see a better fit, subject to the authors’ consent. The final decision about where to submit, and therefore what program committee will review the work, ultimately rests with the authors. *********Key Dates******** * Paper Abstract Registration: October 10th, 2018 11:59pm AoE(UTC-12) Paper Submission Deadline: (Firm*): October, 17th 2018 11:59pm AoE(UTC-12) Authors’ rebuttal period December 17th - 19th, 2018 Acceptance Notification: January 16th, 2019 Camera-Ready Deadline: TBD *********Organizers******** * General Chair: Rasit Eskicioglu (University of Manitoba) Technical Committee Chairs: Luca Mottola (Politecnico di Milan and RISE SICS) Bodhi Priyantha (Microsoft Research) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: EWSN 2019 Dependability Competition - Deadline Extended! Datum: Tue, 7 Aug 2018 20:28:12 +0200 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: engelbert.meissl(a)tugraz.at An: iti.announce(a)mlist.tugraz.at ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Competitors 4th Dependability Competition at the Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) February 25-27, 2019 - Beijing, China http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/call-for-competitors.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- !!! DEADLINE EXTENDED !!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the success of the first three editions, the International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks will host also this year a dependability competition to benchmark the performance of WSN and IoT communication protocols in harsh RF environments. ******** FORMAT ******** The EWSN 2019 dependability competition will take place remotely and the final results will be announced during EWSN in Beijing. Remote preparation phase. After successfully registering to the conference, accepted contestants will obtain the credentials to remotely access the competition infrastructure. During the official preparation phase, all competing teams will have the possibility to test and optimize their solution for this year's competition scenario. In particular, contestants will be able to program all nodes in the competition infrastructure and download their serial output, as well as the evaluation results. The latter will be published on a leaderboard that will be visible to all other competing teams. Final evaluation phase. At the end of the preparation phase, each team needs to provide one single ihex binary file for each competition category. During the evaluation phase, this binary file will be used to extensively benchmark the performance of the competing solution. Competition abstracts. Each team will have the possibility to publish a competition abstract as part of the EWSN proceedings that will appear in the ACM Digital Library. The competition abstracts will follow the same camera-ready deadline as the EWSN poster abstracts and are expected to include a description of the competing solution, as well as preliminary results and lessons learned from the preparation phase. Poster session. A poster session dedicated to the dependability competition will take place during the main EWSN conference. All competing teams must present their solution in the poster session and will have the possibility to engage in lively discussions with the other conference attendees. Awards. The winners of each competition's category will be awarded during a dedicated plenary session of the main conference. After receiving the award, the winning teams must hold a plenary short presentation about their solution, followed by a discussion session. ******** COMPETITION CATEGORIES ******** The EWSN 2019 dependability competition foresees two categories: Category 1: Data collection for condition monitoring. In this category, a fixed number of source nodes communicate to a single destination node over a multi-hop network (i.e., multipoint-to-point traffic). The destination node collects the data transmitted by all source nodes and forwards it to a control center for further processing. Category 2: Dissemination of actuation commands. In this category, a fixed number of source nodes needs to disseminate actuation commands to a specific set of destinations nodes in the network (i.e., point-to-multipoint traffic). Each source node is associated to a specific set of destinations (at most eight), which will be injected as input parameter into the firmware under test by the competition infrastructure. A detailed description of the competition scenario and evaluation procedure can be found on: http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/competition-scenario.html ******** ELIGIBILITY ******** Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All wireless communication protocols used in low-power wireless sensor networks are welcome, and there is no restriction on the operating system used to program the sensor nodes. There is also no requirement on the originality of the competing solutions: the demonstration of good use of well-known or previously-published protocols is strongly encouraged.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: 4th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI'19) Datum: Sun, 5 Aug 2018 15:45:54 +0200 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: engelbert.meissl(a)tugraz.at An: iti.announce(a)mlist.tugraz.at ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 4th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI'19) in conjunction with CPSWEEK 2019 April 15-18, 2019 - Montreal, Canada http://conferences.computer.org/iotdi/2019/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI) is a premier venue on IoT. To reflect the interconnection of IoT with both cloud computing and cyber-physical systems, IoTDI is co-located in even years with IEEE IC2E and in odd years with CPSWEEK. In 2019, IoTDI will be held for the fourth time, and will be part of CPSWEEK 2019. A confluence of technological advances marks the advent of a new era. World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it from embedded devices. Smart cities are expected to grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social networks are becoming ubiquitous, offering information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring. Collectively, these developments lead to the emergence of a new field, where the networking and physical realms meet. It is the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). This conference is an interdisciplinary forum to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging directions in system design and implementation that pertain to IoT. This conference invites researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, and accepts original, previously unpublished work on a range of topics related to IoT. ******** TOPICS ******** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Analytic foundations and theory of IoT; - Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness in IoT systems; - Novel protocols and network abstractions; - Data streaming architectures and machine learning analytics for IoT; - IoT-motivated cyber-physical and Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems; - Novel quality requirements and their enforcement mechanisms; - Cloud back-ends and resource management for IoT applications; - Edge and fog computing; - Personal, wearable, and other embedded networked front-ends; - Social computing and human-in-the-loop issues; - Applications domains (e.g., smart cities, smart health, smart buildings, smart transportation); - Deployment experiences, case studies & lessons learned; - Evaluation and testbeds. Accepted papers of particular merit will be invited to submit an extended version to ACM Transactions on the Internet of Things (TIOT). ******** IMPORTANT DATES ******** - Abstract registration: October 5, 2018 (firm deadline) - Paper submission: October 12, 2018 (firm deadline) - Author rebuttal due: December 10, 2018 - Notification deadline: January 15, 2019 - Camera-ready submission: February 15, 2019 ******** ORGANIZERS ******** General co-chairs: - Klara Nahrstedt (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA) - Olaf Landsiedel (Chalmers University, Sweden) Technical program co-chairs: - Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy) - Prashant Shenoy (University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- .................................................
