-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Gesendet: 8. Februar 2018 18:45:02 MEZ An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Betreff: Call for Papers: 1st CPSBench Workshop (co-located with CPSWEEK) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Networks and Systems (CPSBench - co-located with CPSWEEK) April 10, 2018 - Porto, Portugal https://cpsbench2018.ethz.ch/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE Over the last decade, research on cyber-physical networks and systems has led to smart systems at different scales and environments, from smart homes to smart cities and smart factories. Significant progress has been made through contributions in areas as diverse as embedded and real-time systems, robotics and control, wireless communication and networking, signal processing, and machine learning. Despite these advances, it is difficult to measure and compare the utility of these results due to a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies. This problem concerns the evaluation against the state of the art in an individual area, the comparability of different integrated designs that span multiple areas (e.g., control and networking), and the applicability of tested scenarios to the present and future real-world cyber-physical applications and deployments. This state of affairs is alarming as it may significantly hinder further progress in cyber-physical networks and systems research. The Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Networks and Systems (CPSBench) brings together researchers from the different sub-communities to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously evaluating and comparing cyber-physical networks and systems. CPSBench provides a venue for learning about each other’s challenges and evaluation methodologies and for debating future research agendas to jointly define the performance metrics and benchmarking scenarios that matter from an overall system’s perspective. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short position papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - identify fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous benchmarking and evaluation of cyber-physical networks and systems; - offer a constructive critique on the current practice and state of experimental comparison; - report on success stories or failures with using standard evaluation criteria; - present example benchmark systems and approaches from any of the relevant communities (embedded systems, networking, control, robotics, machine learning, etc.); - propose new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results. Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to support a paper’s claims. Accepted papers will be published as part of the CPSWEEK proceedings, which will be considered for inclusion in ACM Digital Library or IEEE Xplore. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the workshop. SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single-spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English. Authors should indicate their names and affiliations on the first page of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and render without error using standard viewers (e.g., Acrobat Reader). Submitted papers must differ significantly in content from previously published papers and must not be currently under review for any other publication. All papers must be submitted through http://cpsbench18.neslab.it/. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline (FIRM): Monday, February 11, 2018 (11:59:59PM EST) Notification to authors: Friday, March 9, 2018 Camera-ready submission deadline: Monday, March 19, 2018 ORGANIZERS General Chair: Omprakash Gnawali (University of Houston, USA) TPC Co-chairs: Marco Zimmerling (TU Dresden, Germany) Sebastian Trimpe (Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Tübingen, Germany) Publicity Chair: Ramona Marfievici (Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland) Web Chair: Romain Jacob (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Publication Chair: Anna Förster (University of Bremen, Germany) TPC MEMBERS Tarek Abdelzaher (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, USA) José Araújo (Ericsson Research, Stockholm, Sweden) Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology, Austria) Berk Calli (Yale University, USA) Patricia Derler (National Instruments, USA) Simon Duquennoy (RISE SICS, Sweden) Karl Henrik Johansson (KTH Stockholm, Sweden) Matteo Matteucci (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) Ian Mitchell (University of British Columbia, Canada) Luca Mottola (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) Lothar Thiele (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Klaus Wehrle (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- .................................................

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018) Datum: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 12:07:17 -0800 Von: Lei Jiao <jiao(a)CS.UOREGON.EDU> Antwort an: Lei Jiao <jiao(a)CS.UOREGON.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this.] CFP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018) https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/ <https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/> Given the growing demand for real-time gathering and processing of vast amount of data from data-intensive services such as autonomous driving and augmented reality (AR), we are witnessing a visible trend to push computing and data analytics closer to the edge of networks for benefits in low latency, reliability, throughput, security and privacy. Supported by lightweight virtualization technologies such as Docker Containers and Unikernels, the edge computing paradigm aims to offer efficient access to various geographically distributed computing resources. The active research work on mobile data and computation offloading (e.g., Cloudlet, Tasklet, ThinkAir, and MAUI) also support this vision. In addition, as data analytics and machine learning are increasingly offered as a service, the next phase of evolution is to extend the offerings beyond basic algorithms and push the analytics closer to the edge where the data from users and devices is first captured. In this regard, edge computing has the potential to enable a new class of real-time data analytics platforms and services. We expect such edge-driven data analytics will emerge and reshape the existing cloud-based data processing pipelines. The knowledge from this new edge pipeline can further power future cyber-physical and network services, such as cognitive assistance and proactive accident prevention for autonomous driving. The 1st International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018), in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2018, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys '18 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Wireless Communications SI on SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN THE WIRELESS INTERNET OF THINGS: EMERGING TRENDS AND CHALLENGES Datum: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 13:56:26 +0000 Von: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> Antwort an: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS More details: https://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/cfp/security-privacy-in-wireless-interne… Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm that involves a network of physical objects containing embedded technologies to collect, communicate, sense, and interact with their internal states or the external environment through wireless or wired connections. Most of the IoT devices have wireless capabilities (e.g., wi-fi, Bluetooth). With rapid advancements in IoT technology,the number of IoT devices is expected to surpass 50 billion by 2020, which has drawn the attention of attackers who seek to exploit the merits of this new technology for their own benefits. The exposure of resource-constrained IoT devices to the dangers of the Internet opens the door to a plethora of potential security and privacy risks to the IoT, such as attacks against IoT systems and unauthorized access to private information of end-users. As IoT starts to penetrate to virtually all sectors of the society, such as retail, transportation, healthcare, energy supply, and smart cities, security breaches may be catastrophic to the actual users and the physical world. Such threats may diminish the public confidence towards the adoption of the IoT technology. Although there are existing works that address the security challenges in network and distributed systems, we need to pay more attention the security and privacy challenges emerging from deploying IoT in practical applications with a special emphasis on the wireless IoT devices, infrastructures, wireless networking, and applications. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present and discuss technical challenges and recent advances related to security and privacy techniques for wireless IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Intrusion prevention, detection, and response for wireless IoT networks. Implementation, deployment and management of network security policies in the IoT. Cross-domain trust management in wireless IoT. Integrating security in IoT protocols: routing, naming, network management. Security for future wireless IoT architectures and designs. Secure crowdsourcing in wireless IoT. Secure wireless communication protocols in the IoT. Security and privacy of wireless IoT systems based on machine learning. Privacy and anonymity technologies for wireless IoT. Privacy in wireless IoT-based services and applications. Privacy in mobile and wireless communications for IoT. Privacy-preserving authentication in wireless IoT. Privacy-preserving attack detections in wireless IoT. Privacy-preserving data aggregation and analysis in wireless IoT applications.

In the CPS realm, humans and/or smart networked devices interact with and control the physical world around them through actuators, sensors, etc. “CPS is envisioned to transform the way people interact with engineered systems, just as the Internet transformed the way people interact with information." (US National Science Foundation). Today, the boundary between cyber and physical systems is blurring. Indeed, cyber devices that can interact with the physical world are on the rise. For instance, smart phones and tablets are all equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometers, GPS), which enable the vision of CPS by allowing human beings to interact with the physical world. Similarly, a multitude of CPS devices and applications exist in industrial, transportation, medical, home-security, building automation, emergency management, power, and many other systems, which serve critical functions in our lives. Given the popularity of the CPS applications, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications can cause enormous damage to individuals, businesses, and nations. Therefore, the International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec) seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions to the cyber security challenges facing CPS. Submissions may represent any application area for CPS. Hence, papers that are pertinent to the security of embedded systems, Internet of Things, SCADA Systems, Smart-Grid Systems, Critical Infrastructure Networks, Transportation Systems, Medical Devices are all welcome. Example topics of interest are given below, but are not limited to: - Secure CPS architectures - Authentication mechanisms for CPS - Access control for CPS - Key management in CPS - Data security and privacy for CPS - Forensics for CPS - Intrusion detection for CPS - Trusted-computing in CPS - Energy-efficient and secure CPS - Availability, recovery and auditing for CPS - Distributed secure solutions for CPS - Threat models for CPS - Physical layer security for CPS - Security on heterogeneous CPS - Secure protocol design in CPS - Vulnerability analysis of CPS - Anonymization in CPS - Security of CPS in automotive systems - Security of CPS in aerospace systems - Security of embedded systems - Security of CPS in medical devices/systems - Security of CPS in civil engineering systems/devices - Security of industrial control systems - Security of Internet-of-Things IMPORTANT DATES: ---------------------------- Submission Deadline : March 5, 2018 Notification of Acceptance : March 26, 2018 Camera-Ready : April 2, 2018 Workshop Date : May 30 - June 01, 2018 PAPER SUBMISSION: ---------------------------- Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.
