The 3rd IEEE Cyber Science and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech 2018)
http://cyber-science.org/2018/
Athens, Greece, 12-15 August 2018
Cyber Science for Cyber-enabled New Worlds
INTRODUCTION
---------------------
The modern digitized world has led to the emergence of a new paradigm on
global information networks and infrastructures known as Cyberspace, which
bring seamless integration of physical, social and mental spaces.
Cyberspace is becoming an integral part of our daily life from learning and
entertainment to business and cultural activities.
To address these emerging challenges, there is a need to establish new
science and research portfolios that incorporate cyber-physical,
cyber-social and cyber-mental technologies together in a coherent manner to
deliver the vision of Cyberspace. This is the aim of the IEEE Cyber Science
and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech), which was successfully held first
in Auckland (New Zealand) in 2016 and then in Orlando (USA) in 2017.
IEEE CyberSciTech 2018 is to continually offer a common platform for
scientists, researchers and engineers to share their latest ideas and to
exchange the latest developments and outcomes in their research and
technologies, with a broad scope of cyber-related science, technology and
application topics to understand and shape cyber-enabled new worlds.

*PURPOSE and SCOPE*
Virtualization has become the foundation of cloud computing. The scale of
cloud computing data centers is similar to the supercomputers used in High
Performance Computing. Both involve millions of CPU cores, tens of
thousands of accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs connected by high speed
interconnects and different connection topologies. Studies have shown that
the GPU utilization in HPC is often at 50%. Virtualization can be the key
to increasing resource utilization and managing massive infrastructures
efficiently.
GPU vendors have introduced virtualized versions of GPUs. FPGAs are being
deployed in virtual infrastructure. These and other developments in the
field, along with future exascale systems, will provide increasing degree
of virtualization within the systems.
The goal of this session is to be an opportunity to discuss and exchange
research on the different virtualization technologies and how they can be
efficiently applied in High Performance Computing. Theoretical research,
engineering solutions dealing with practical tradeoffs, and complex system
implementation papers are welcomed.

CALL FOR PAPERS
**********************************************************************
4th IEEE Workshop on Security and Privacy in the Cloud (SPC 2018)
Beijing, China - May 30-June 1, 2018
http://spc2018.di.unimi.it/
**********************************************************************
Cloud computing is today the reference paradigm for large-scale data
storage and processing due to the convenient and efficient network
access to configurable resources that can be easily adjusted according
to the users’ needs. 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.

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/>
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.
