Although the benefits of cloud computing are tremendous, security and privacy concerns have still a detrimental impact on the adoption and acceptability of cloud services. In fact, users as well as companies that rely on cloud storage and computation services lose the direct control over the systems managing their data and applications, thus putting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data at risk. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in discussing the security, privacy, and data protection issues emerging in cloud scenarios, and possible solutions to them. SPC 2018 is the fourth workshop in this series and will be held in Beijing, China, on May 30-June 1, in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS 2018). The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research, as well as experimental studies, on all theoretical and practical aspects of security, privacy, and data protection in cloud scenarios. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Anonymity in cloud scenarios - Applied cryptography in cloud scenarios - Cloud-based biometric systems - Data and application security - Data and system integrity - Data availability in outsourcing scenarios - Data protection - Efficient access to outsourced data - Key management in cloud scenarios - Privacy - Privacy of accesses - Secure computation over encrypted data - Security and trust metrics - Security and privacy in crowdsourcing - Security and privacy in multi-clouds and federated clouds - Security and privacy in data outsourcing - Security and privacy in the Internet of Things - Security and privacy of big data - Security and privacy of distributed computations - Security and privacy of fog computing - Security and privacy policies - Selective information sharing - Threats, vulnerabilities, and risk management PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 9 pages in the IEEE 8,5"x11" two-column format. Submissions should not be anonymized. The workshop will also consider short submissions of up to 4 pages for results that are preliminary or that simply require few pages. Papers should be submitted for review through EDAS (http://edas.info/N24475). Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of March 5, 2018 (11:59 p.m. American Samoa time). Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the workshop. Accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE CNS 2018 conference proceedings and also in IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

CFP: 2018 International Workshop on Heterogeneous Wireless Networks and Quality-of-Experience (HWNQoE-2018)
by MIAO Wang 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] *************************** HWNQoE-2018 CFP ************************** 2018 International Workshop on Heterogeneous Wireless Networks and Quality-of-Experience (HWNQoE-2018) http://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/HWNQoE2018/ Exeter, England, UK, 28-30 June 2018 To be held in conjunction with the 20th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC-2018)<http://cse.stfx.ca/~GreenCom2017/> … [View More]INTRODUCTION ================= With the rapid innovation in sophisticated wireless communication technologies including 4G LTE-Advanced, fixed and mobile broadband WiMAX, 3G UMTS/CDMA and high-speed Wi-Fi, the past years have witnessed a dramatic growth of mobile multimedia applications, for example, Live Mobile Video, 3D Video Stream, Digital and Mobile TV, VoIP, etc. These content-rich multimedia applications consume a huge amount of network resources and create new challenging issues for heterogeneous wireless networks to satisfy the ever-increasing Quality-of-Experience (QoE) requirements. Furthermore, the traditional criteria for the measurements and provisioning of network performances are generally based on Quality of Service (QoS), which is defined in terms of network delivery capacity and resource availability such as bandwidth, jitter, throughput, transmission delay and availability. While it is widely accepted that QoS is inadequate for successfully and comprehensively evaluating the user-perceived quality of multimedia services over heterogeneous networks, as QoE is determined not only by QoS but also by the quality of multimedia content to be delivered. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together industry and academic researchers to provide an up-to-date picture of the state-of-the-art research in the field of heterogeneous wireless communications and QoE provisioning. It is also intended to provide a forum to exchange varying beliefs and understandings of how to seamless integrate advanced wireless networking and adaptive multimedia processing for enabling evolution of the current wireless system toward future networks. IMPORTANT DATES ================ * Paper Submission Deadline: 15 March 2018 * Authors Notification: 15 April 2018 * Camera-Ready Paper Due: 15 May 2018 * Early Registration Due: 15 May 2018 * Conference Date: 28-30 June 2018 SCOPES AND TOPICS ================== Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the following: * Heterogeneous networks architecture and performance analysis * QoE-aware resource allocation, interference management and admission control * Energy-aware QoE control in resource-constrained wireless networks * QoE-aware cross-layer design and optimization * M2M/IoT network architecture and performance analysis * 5G network architecture/techniques, and performance analysis * QoE-aware green technologies for multimedia applications * Secure routing design and analysis in QoE-aware mobile networks * Multimedia traffic modeling and characterization in heterogeneous wireless networks * Resource-aware efficient multimedia video coding * 2D/3D Visual media over heterogeneous networks * Advanced image and video processing * User-centric performance and optimisation of advanced media services * Multimedia session signalling in wireless/mobile environments * Multimedia content management and distribution * Context-aware wireless multimedia applications * Software defined networking and network function virtualization * Subjective QoE testing of wireless social networking services * Real experiments and testbeds for QoE evaluation in mobile networks and vehicular networks * QoE evaluation for emerging applications and services * Network security, reliability and survivability * Mobile cloud computing and applications * Mobile and wireless applications: health, environmental protection Submission details ============== We solicit original and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. All papers will be reviewed by the HWNQoE-2018 Program Committee for significance, originality, accuracy, and clarity. Each paper is limited to 6 pages (or 8 pages with over length charge), including figures and references (see the IEEE Proceedings Author Guidelines: here<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>). For detailed submission instructions, please visit the workshop website: HWNQoE-2018<http://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/HWNQoE2018/>.

08 Feb '18

The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/ CALL FOR PAPERS As part of The 18th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2018), http://www.iccsa.org July 2 - 5 2018, Melbourne, Australia Submission Deadline: March 8, 2018 SPECIAL ISSUE Selected extended versions of workshop papers will be invited to a Special Issue to appear in the Algorithms journal (see http://… [View More]www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…) SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.
