Scope

In the last few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has seen rapid developments due to device miniaturization and cost reduction. It aims to connect all objects through the Internet. These cooperative systems can provide fast, cost-effective, and safe solutions for many applications, including smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and drones. On the other hand, many IoT devices collect sensitive data, such as the number of people in an important building or brake oil amount in an autonomous vehicle, which should not be unintentionally disclosed, in addition to personal or confidential information. Due to the large number of devices in IoT systems, the possibility of information leakage or privacy breach is high.

To prevent this, each device applies a privacy-preserving method, which is applied in order to hinder adversaries from finding the sensitive data and the identity of owners. Unfortunately, most IoT devices are generally battery-powered and/or cannot provide a fast and reliable reply to user applications. In this respect, energy consumption is also a big challenge while being able to preserve the privacy of IoT devices.

This workshop aims to showcase the latest Original Research, Tutorial, and Review articles on these
topics.

Submit paper

Topics

Possible topics for submissions include but are not limited to:

• S/P models for IoT-based smart cities
• Privacy-preserving models for IoT applications
• S/P in service deployment for IoT
• Software-defined networking support for S/P
• Semantic web support for S/P
• Cyber Security modeling for S/P

Publication

Accepted and presented technical papers will be submitted for publication by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library. Workshop Papers will be published as a part of the SecureComm Conference Proceedings. Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, including Ei Compendex, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP, as well as EAI’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL).

Paper submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.

Amir Javadpour, Guangzhou University, China

Amir Javadpour obtained his MSc degree in Medical Information Technology Engineering from University of Tehran, Iran, in 2014. From Guangzhou University, China, he received a Ph.D. in Computer Science/Mathematics. In addition, he has published papers with his colleagues in highly ranked journals and several ranked conferences in several topics including Cloud Computing, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Big Data, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and the Internet of Things (IoT). Additionally, he reviewed papers for several reputable venues such as IEEE Transaction, Springer, and the TPC of various conferences.

Yang Liu, Harbin institute of Technology, China

Yang Liu received his D.Phil (PhD) degree in Computer Science from University of Oxford (advised by Professor Andrew Simpson) in July 2018. Prior to joining Oxford, He received an MSc in Software Engineering from Peking University and a B.Eng in Computer Science from Ocean University of China. He is currently an Assistant Professor in Department of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, China. He is interested in security and privacy problems and, in particular, the privacy issues related to mobile and IoT devices.

Paper length

We invite workshop participation through contributions that respond to one or more of the mentioned
research questions in 6-11 pages (short papers). Full papers (12-15+ pages) are also welcome, and
such submissions can expectedly be less than 18 pages. Submissions less than 6 pages, however, are
discouraged as there is not enough space for appropriate technical content presentation. Papers should
be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+’ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s
kit section).

Full papers: 12-20 pages
