CFP: Special Issue on "Security and Privacy in Cloud-Assisted Cyber-Physical Systems" in Computer Networks Journal (Elsevier)
by Cristina Alcaraz 01 May '17

01 May '17

*** Apologies for multiple copies *** ================================================================================ C a l l F o r P a p e r s COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL - Elsevier Special Issue: Security and Privacy in Cloud-Assisted Cyber-Physical Systems ================================================================================ Cloud-assisted Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) feature a tight coupling between embedded computing devices and their physical environment. CPSes can be viewed as the bridge between physical components/processes and the cyber space. Specifically, the notion of CPSes is to use computing (e.g. sensing, analyzing and predicting), communication (e.g. interaction, intervene and interface management), and controlling (e.g. inter-operation, evolving and evidence-based certification) to make intelligent and autonomous systems. Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the development of CPSes services, including ubiquitous health care, smart electricity grid, and smart buildings. However, the fast-growing data volume is hard to process. The present CPSes cannot support ultra-fast computing, and thus it cannot provide real-time and reliable services to meet the requirements, which are essential for mission-critical systems. Fortunately, cloud infrastructures and platforms can provide flexible and on-demand processing power and high-capacity storage for data streams, as well as provisioning of a variety of services using telecommunication and networking technologies. Thus, the large-scale nature of CPSes can be effectively and efficiently supported and assisted by cloud systems, which is referred to as cloud-assisted CPSes (Cloud-CPS). The coupling of cloud systems and CPSes, though advantageous, is subject to new forms of risks that have not been considered adequately in the traditional computing domain. CPSes often collect sensitive and private information about the physical environment. A loss of security for a CPS can therefore have significant negative impact including loss of privacy, potential physical harm, discrimination, and abuse. Though numerous security primitives have been developed in the cyber domain to address the very same problems, their applicability to the Cloud-CPSes domain is still questionable due to the reason that they are usually complex to implement and oblivious to cyber-physical interactions. The goal of this special issue is to unveil and address the security and privacy aspects associated to the Cloud-CPeSs. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the following. * Secure data sharing in Cloud-CPSes * Big data security and privacy in Cloud-CPSes * Secure computation in Cloud-CPSes * Location privacy in Cloud-CPSes * Lightweight block ciphers for low-resource devices in Cloud-CPSes * Searchable encryption in Cloud-CPSes * End to end secure communications in Cloud-CPSes * Access control in Cloud-CPSes * Key management in Cloud-CPSes These topics remark the differences between the classical CPSes and Cloud-CPSes, and particularly when designing security and privacy solutions for specific Cloud-assisted CPSes applied in restricted environments with rigorous performance requirements and criticality in mind. ----------------------------------------- Important Dates ----------------------------------------- * Submission deadline: June 30, 2017 * Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2017 * Final manuscript due: October 15, 2017 ----------------------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ----------------------------------------- All submitted papers to this special issue must be well written in English, and must be original and not be under review in any other journal or conference proceedings. When submitting their papers authors must select “Security in Cloud CPS” as the article type. Submitted papers should be presented according to the journal style. For more detailed information regarding the requirements for submission, please refer to: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-aut….

Deadline Extension: ROME@Euro-Par 2017 - Papers due May 12
by Lankes, Stefan 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS The 5th Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for the Many-core Era (ROME 2017) August 28, 2017, Santiago de Compostela, Spain held in conjunction with Euro-Par 2017, August 28 - September 1, 2017 Santiago de Compostela, Spain http://www.rome.eonerc.rwth-aachen.de ======================================================================= Background ---------- Since the beginning of the multicore era, parallel processing has become prevalent across the board. However, in order to continue a performance increase according to Moore's Law, a next step needs to be taken: away from common multicores towards innovative many-core architectures. Such systems, equipped with a significant higher amount of cores per chip than multicores, pose challenges in both hardware and software design. On the hardware side, complex on-chip networks, scratchpads, hybrid memory cubes, non-volatile memory and stacked memory, as well as deep cache-hierarchies and novel cache-coherence strategies will enrich the current research areas in the future. However, the ROME workshop focuses on the software side because without complying system software, runtime and operating system support, all these new hardware facilities cannot be exploited. Hence, the new challenges in hardware/software co-design are to step beyond traditional approaches and to wage new programming models and operating system designs in order to exploit the theoretically available performance of future hardware as effectively and power-aware as possible. Topics ------ This year, too, authors from all related disciplines are invited to submit unpublished papers regarding software for novel many-core hardware architectures. The call for papers especially emphasizes on the challenges and research questions arising from the upcoming generation of heterogeneous and/or massive parallel systems stepping towards a many-core dominated exascale era. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New approaches for operating systems on novel many-core architectures * Operating system extensions for addressing many-core related issues * Many-core aware runtime support for large-scale applications * Bare-metal programming and system software for many-cores * Dealing with legacy software on novel many-core architectures * Virtualization to deal with hardware limitations on many-cores * Support for interactivity with and between many-core applications * Message-passing interfaces and middleware for many-core systems * Heterogeneity- and/or hierarchy-aware many-core middleware * Concepts and methods for exploiting deep memory hierarchies * Operating system extensions for non-volatile memory support * Software stacks for new concepts of compute acceleration on many-cores * Interfaces for performance and power analysis on many-core systems * Runtime support for power-aware many-core computing Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions in PDF format should be between 10–12 pages in the Springer LNCS style, which can be downloaded from the Springer Web site ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip. The 12 pages limit is a hard limit. It includes everything (text, figures, references). On acceptance of the submission, at least one author is required to register for workshop attendance at Euro-Par 2017 and present the paper in the workshop session. Upload your submission to our submission server (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=europar2017workshops) in PDF format. It must not be simultaneously submitted to the main conference or any other publication outlet. For the workshop, we will prepare hand-outs with the accepted papers. The revised versions will be published after the conference in the workshop proceedings of Euro-Par 2017, part of the LNCS series of Springer.
