*CALL FOR PAPERS* *IEEE Internet of Things Journal* *Special Issue on Privacy and Security in Distributed Edge Computing and Evolving IoT* Dear Colleagues, I would like to invite you to submit your latest research results to our Special Issue on Privacy and Security in Distributed Edge Computing and Evolving IoT at IEEE Internet of Things Journal. Link: http://jolfaei.info/IEEE-IoT-J.html Overview: Recent advances in artificial intelligence, edge computing, and big data, have enabled extensive reasoning capabilities at the edge of the network. Edge servers are now capable of extracting meaningful analytics from IoT nodes, which give insights about unprecedented changes of data-driven economy that finds applications in diverse sectors ranging from smart manufacturing and smart transportation to predictive maintenance and precision healthcare. Despite this ongoing advancement, there are growing concerns regarding the privacy of data providers when they grant edge applications direct access to their embedded sensors.

Data mining on genuine data could be harmful to data privacy. For example, data mining on time-series data taken from motion sensors, microphones, and GPS sensors could reveal users' activities, demographics, attributes and daily interactions. This could potentially lead to security/privacy concerns in many participatory and opportunistic crowd-sensing applications, where a large group of individuals having mobile devices capable of sensing and computing collectively share data and extract information to measure, map, analyze, estimate or infer any processes of common interest. While privacy preserving has not been the initial focus of traditional data analytics on edge servers, when used in domains such as cyber security, there are incentivized, malicious adversaries present in the system willing to game and exploit edge processing vulnerabilities. This special issue focuses on solutions that leverage techniques and insights from the domains of artificial intelligence, edge computing, and big data to resolve privacy and security challenges in distributed edge computing and evolving IoT applications. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to

• Optimization of the utility-privacy tradeoffs • Privacy-preserving data aggregation • Privacy-preserving data mining • Privacy protection in edge computing assisted with evolving IoT • Privacy-preserving solutions for crowdsensing • Privacy preserving in presence of advanced persistent threats • Privacy-enhancing cryptographic techniques • Multiparty access control in edge computing assisted with evolving IoT • Middleware for privacy protection in IoT applications • Future perspectives of privacy issues in IoT applications
