-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: Decentralized IoT Systems and Security (DISS 2020) workshop with NDSS (Feb. 23, 2020, San Diego, CA, USA) Datum: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 22:57:47 +0200 Von: George C. Polyzos <polyzos(a)AUEB.GR> Antwort an: George C. Polyzos <polyzos(a)AUEB.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers Decentralized IoT Systems and Security A workshop in conjunction with the 2020 Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) (https://www.ndss-symposium.org/) organized by the Internet Society (https://www.internetsociety.org/) February 23, 2020 — San Diego, CA, USA An open full-day workshop with extensive discussion. It is the 3rd in a series with NDSS (the program and papers for the previous ones are available online: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2018/diss-workshop-programme/ and https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-program/workshop-on-decentralised-iot-s…). Revised papers will be published as post-workshop proceedings by the Internet Society. Technical summary The success of the Internet of Things (IoT) depends significantly on solving related decentralization, security and privacy challenges. A key aspect is decentralization, as many if not most of the IoT use cases include big data collection from large-scale and heterogeneous device deployments. Furthermore, decentralized security may help to overcome privacy concerns and scalability bottlenecks, both of which become increasingly serious in large-scale deployments, such as smart cities, Industry 4.0, or next generation business platforms. A decentralized approach to IoT systems and security brings forth many opportunities but also challenges, such as operating with constrained devices, with intermittent network connectivity, state synchronization, and trust management — these and additional challenges listed below would be the scope of the proposed workshop. Following the spirit of NDSS, the goal of this workshop is to bring together academia and industry, researchers and practitioners, to analyze and discuss the potential and limits of decentralization in secure IoT systems. The proposed topics include the following (but relevant papers will not be rejected for not falling under these topics): - Secure interoperability across IoT ecosystems - Security and privacy trade-offs related to IoT scalability and decentralization - Securing the Web of Things - Secure service provisioning and software upgrading for large-scale IoT - Self-awareness and self-adaptation in decentralized IoT - Usable and context-aware security for decentralized IoT - Peer-to-Peer (P2P) security and privacy in IoT - Blockchains and other Distributed Ledger Technologies for secure and trusted interaction in the IoT and edge systems - Security and privacy in multi-tiered edge systems (“fog computing”) - Smart Contracts for the IoT, including formal verification of smart contracts - Decentralized access control and rights management - Decentralized trust management and governance - Authentication and access management at the IoT edge - IoT security and privacy architectures for 5G Networks - IoT Key Management Protocols - Trust, Security, Safety, and Privacy in IoT-enabled tactile and critical infrastructures - Scalable programmable network infrastructures for supporting secure IoT applications - NFV, Management & Orchestration for distributed, scalable and secure IoT architectures - Decentralized (edge & backend) IoT analytics and embedded intelligence - Application of concepts from outside of the IoT to decentralized IoT security - Security & Privacy for Federated/Distributed Machine Learning with Adversarial Agents - Attestation in the large scale decentralized IoT Submission Instructions The workshop will accept papers of between four to six pages in length for publication in post-workshop proceedings. Proceedings will be published by the Internet Society with the revised papers based on the workshop discussions and reviewer comments. Papers shall be submitted for review in print-ready form using the NDSS paper template and the review will be single blind. For a paper to be published, at least one of the authors must attend the entire workshop, the paper must be revised based on the discussion at the workshop, and the revised paper must be submitted in time for the publication deadline. As previously, submissions and reviews will be handled by EasyChair. PC members have been invited and will be announced soon. *** Important dates *** Abstract Submission: December 13, 2019 Paper Submissions Due: December 20, 2019 Decision Notice to Authors: January 17, 2020 Camera-ready paper: March 13, 2020 Organizers: - Farinaz Koushanfar, UCSD, USA (fkoushanfar(a)eng.ucsd.edu) - Pekka Nikander, Aalto University, FI (mailto:pekka.nikander@aalto.fi) - George C.

Mobile and social sensing is becoming a paradigm for collecting observations of the physical phenomena, either directly from human observers, or by means of crowd-sourcing the data measurement tasks using sensors in the smart phones or various other wearables (e.g., Google Glass, Apple Watch, and Fitbit devices). It thus involves massive amount of sensory data collection and/or dissemination where humans can act as sensor carriers (e.g., carrying GPS sensors that share location data), sensor operators (e.g., taking pictures and videos with smart phones), or as sensors themselves (e.g., sharing their observations on social media). This emerging field faces new challenges in data collection, dissemination, fusion, and mining; cognitive modeling; computational social and behavior science; information and coding theory; information processing and knowledge discovery; data dissemination and forwarding, reliability, privacy, and security; and cyber-physical-systems with human-in/on-the-loop. This special issue invites technical papers on both theoretical contributions and systems describing original ideas, exciting results, and real-world experiences in the context of mobile and social sensing. This special issue will focus on (but not be limited to) the following topics: + Mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive sensing + Social sensing and social networks as sensor networks + Crowd/participatory and opportunistic sensing + Rural sensing + Urban sensing and smart city + Reliability, privacy, and security in mobile and social sensing + Sensing unstructured data in mobile/social domain + Modeling, analysis, fusion, and mining of social and mobile sensing data + Theory, algorithms, systems, and experiments pertaining to mobile/social sensing + Ubiquitous, mobile, and pervasive information processing and knowledge discovery + Mobile and Social Sensing Applications (i.e., Social Internet of Things, Social Internet of Vehicles) + Data mining in Mobile and Social Sensing Submission Guidelines: Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers previously published in conference proceedings are eligible for submission if the submitted manuscript is a substantial revision and extension of the conference version.

Industrial agriculture has many advantages. For example, the use of specialized machinery lightens farmer’s labor intensity. Large-scale monoculture crops planting and intensive farming achieve higher food yields with lower price. In plant factory, the cultivation environment can be artificially controlled, so the vegetables grow faster than in outdoor conditions. However, industrial agriculture also causes some negative impacts on ecological system due to the high energy consumption and serious environmental degradation. Tractors, combines, cultivators and other agricultural machinery not only consume much fossil fuels but also degrade soil. The use of too much synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contaminate local rivers and water sources. Water is often overused in the irrigation stage. Industry 4.0, that built on leading-edge technologies, will be a transforming force to reshape the industrial agriculture. Through wireless sensor network, unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite imagery, the ubiquitous sensing can collect valuable data during food production. Precision agriculture helps to save use of fertilizer and water. Solar photovoltaic power harvesting and wireless energy transfer is a key approach to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Smart microclimate control in greenhouse and plant factory enables deep understanding on the interaction between gene, environment and phenotype. Artificial intelligence and big data makes the industrial agriculture more intelligent. This special section on “Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture” is to provide a forum for researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas to present their latest achievements in industrial agriculture. *This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics:* ● Artificial intelligence and machine learning for smart industrial agricultural ● Connectivity, localization and autonomous driving of agricultural machinery network ● Precision agriculture with sensor, drones, remote sensing and Internet of Things ● Design, development and application of agricultural system with Industry 4.0 ● Blockchain, big data for digital farming: theory and application ● Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer in industrial agriculture ● Next generation 5G mobile networks for industrial agriculture ● Ontology-driven plant phenomics information system ● Robotics, guidance and automation for agriculture ● Case study of sustainable and intelligent industrial agriculture ● Security and privacy for green IoT-based agriculture *Manuscript Preparation and Submission* Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics . Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii. On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on *Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture* Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal. Regular manuscript length is 8 pages. *Note: *The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor-in-Chief. Some papers may be published outside the special section, at the EIC discretion. *Timetable:* *Deadline for manuscript submissions February 25, 2020* *Expected publication date (tentative) July, 2020* *Guest Editors:* l Prof. Lei Shu, Nanjing Agricultural University, China / University of Lincoln, UK lei.shu(a)njau.edu.cn l Dr. Gerhard Petrus Hancke, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China gp.hancke(a)cityu.edu.hk l Dr. Adnan M.
