CALL FOR PAPERS

Autonomous vehicular technology is approaching a level of maturity that gives confidence to many cities around the world to allow autonomous vehicles (AVs) to share the roads with manual vehicles (MVs). AVs and MVs have different capabilities which may result in challenging safety, security, trust, and resilience impacts when mixed together as a part of an Intelligent Transportation System. For example, AVs are able to communicate electronically with one another, make fast decisions and associated actuation, and generally act deterministically. In contrast, MVs cannot communicate electronically, are limited by the capabilities and slow reaction of human drivers, and may show some uncertainty and even irrationality in behaviour due to human involvement. However, unlike MVs, the security of computing and communications of AVs can be compromised thereby precluding them from achieving individual or group goals. 

This workshop focuses on solutions that leverage techniques and insights from the domains of cyber security, artificial intelligence, edge computing, big data, and transportation engineering to resolve safety and security challenges in Intelligent Transportation Systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to 


•	Modelling, control and simulation of traffic for intelligent transportation systems
•	Advanced persistent threats for intelligent transportation systems
•	New approaches to safety, security, and trust in intelligent transportation systems
•	Security architecture, design, implementation and management of intelligent vehicles
•	Trustworthy vehicle communications (V2X, V2V, V2I, V2C)
•	Functional security, standards, and certification
•	Security techniques and protocols for cooperative vehicles
•	Data communication security in networked embedded systems
•	Security mechanism for automotive motion planning in dynamic environments
•	Practical security experiences and testbeds related to intelligent vehicles
•	Human factors and human behavior in intelligent transportation systems
•	Emergencies and accidents: phenomena, management and mitigation
•	Applications of sensors and big data to intelligent transportation systems
•	Sustainable transportation systems
•	Intelligent transportation system in mobility as a service
•	Design and evaluation of machine learning models on traffic data
•	Anomaly detection and forecasting
•	Game theory in intelligent transportation systems
•	Emerging safety and security technologies for transportation systems


Paper Submission Guidelines

Submission must be original, not previously published, and not currently under review by any other conferences or journals. The workshop employs a double-blind reviewing process. All submissions should be appropriately anonymised. Author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper. Authors should avoid self-references and should appropriately blind them if used. The list of authors cannot be changed (but the order can be) after submission unless approved by Program Co-Chairs. 

All submissions must be written in legible English and should not require decryption to be reviewed. Papers must be in PDF format and at most 12 pages long, including the, with up to 2 additional pages for a well-marked appendix. Note that an appendix cannot exceed 2 pages even if the main text is under 12 pages. Submissions must be prepared using the latest ACM Sigconf style conference template only (available here). All fonts, images, tables, and figures must comply with common ACM standards. Submissions not meeting formatting requirements risk rejection without review.
