SCOPE
Billions of users daily interact with social media platforms such …
[View More]as
Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. The checking of the
preferred social media platform is becoming the first thing to do at
wake-up time, and the last thing to do before falling asleep. With no
doubts, social media revolutionized the content ecosystem and the
behavior of millions of people. Within social media, people communicate,
collaborate and share information, and within Online Social Media Data
(OSMD), it is possible to find contents and metadata about people,
brands, products, services, personal preferences, issues, etc. Not
surprisingly, OSMD are being used to understand people’s opinions and to
measure citizens’ feelings. Indeed, this knowledge represents a critical
factor in strategic decision processes, as it may be helpful in
identifying problems and strengthening strategies. For instance,
politicians may gauge the public mood to improve their political
decisions, enterprise managers may increase customers engagement by
tracking what people think about products and services, city
administrators may analyze citizens’ opinions to enhance the life
quality of the city, advertisers can improve the effectiveness of their
messages by analyzing what people think of a brand. The use of OSMD to
get insights about people and society is not trivial and covers many
different disciplines, like computer science, social engineering,
psychology, semiotics, and economics.
Topics:
The workshop is seeking recent advances, novel proposals,
best-practices, pitfalls and case studies in Social Media Sensing from
different and inter-disciplinary points of view. In particular, topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
Accessibility of social media contents
Advances in Social Media
Big Data Analysis for OSMD
Business Intelligence using OSMD
Chatbots and ChatScript
Cloud Computing
Data Mining and Machine Learning for OSMD

IEEE TRANSACTION ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS
Special Section: Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0
URL:
================================================================================
Industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing
a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring
about …
[View More]business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to
couple the Information Technologies (ITs) with the existing Operational
Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize
operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders
[4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems
to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0
constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex
technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can
arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different
production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and
manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health
environments. This way of connecting entities with the “smart world” and
the interconnection of different Industry 4.0 domains based on the new
paradigms and heterogeneous technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems
(CPS), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or edge computing
infrastructures (cloud/fog computing systems), certainly, opens the door to
coexistence problems and novel exploitations. Diverse vulnerabilities and
risks may significantly grow according to the new adaptations and the
participation of stakeholders, generating a need to further research
protection issues required to safeguard the operational processes and
ensure a secure and resilient and dependable cohesion between IT and OT
systems, including physical entities.
For this reason, industries, governments and scientific communities are
increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that
Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a
country. The tendency to couple the ITs with the existing Operational
Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize
operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders
[4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems
to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0
constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex
technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can
arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different
production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and
manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health
environments.
The aim of this special issue is therefore to bring together researchers
from diverse interdisciplinary areas of computing and security to cover,
from a holistic point of view, the topics related to secure coupling of the
new ITs with operational networks, without discarding aspects on privacy.
This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following
topics:
• Security and privacy analysis and requirements in Industry 4.0
• Secure management and governance of Industry 4.0 operational services and
systems
• Vulnerabilities and risk assessment in manufacturing and automation
systems
• Advanced threat models, cyber-crime or cyber-espionage for Industry 4.0
• Dependable and secure Industry 4.0 architectures by design
• Lightweight cryptography and key management in Industry 4.0
• Identity management and access control for Industry 4.0 domains
• Secure interoperability, mobility and coexistence between systems,
including users
• Prevention, awareness and resilience models for Industry 4.0 advanced
threats
• Secure context management and accountability for Industry 4.0 domains
• Data preservation and privacy models for Industry 4.0
• Trust management and trusted computing models for Industry 4.0.
• Secure cloud/fog-assisted manufacturing and predictive maintenance
services

EUSIPCO 2019 SATELLITE WORKSHOP ON SIGNAL PROCESSING, COMPUTER VISION AND
DEEP LEARNING FOR AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
A CORUNA, SPAIN, SEPTEMBER 6th 2019
CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP SUMMARY
During the last years we are witnessing a constantly increasing use
and interest for Autonomous Systems (AS) such as UAVs, humanoid robots,
cars, marine and underwater vessels, etc. This is due to their numerous
applications in transport, surveillance, mapping, manufacturing, healthcare,
agriculture, …
[View More]infrastructure inspection, cinematography etc. Successful
deployment of autonomous systems involves tackling a number of interesting
and challenging topics such as AS localization, planning, action and
mapping, analysis of visual data coming from AS sensors for human centric or
environment active perception and cognition, privacy protection technologies
in AS data, 3D data (e.g. LIDAR) processing and analysis, communication
issues for AS, sensor fusion, multimodal interfaces etc. These tasks can be
addressed by using several methodologies from the areas of
signal/image/video processing and analysis, computer vision and machine
learning (including deep learning) provided that they respect several
constraints and limitations inherent to AS, such as real-time operation,
limited available computing resources on board the AS, need for robustness
in real-life scenarios etc. The aim of this workshop is to bring together
researchers, engineers and computer scientists working in the areas of
signal/image/video processing and analysis, computer vision, and machine
learning for AS to present and discuss recent developments and trends in
this exciting area. The workshop will consist of 2-3 invited talks by
prominent researchers and oral presentations featuring research papers. The
workshop is technically sponsored by the H2020 Project MULTIDRONE
(www.multidrone.eu).

All manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee and evaluated on
originality, relevance of the problem to the conference theme, technical
strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, and organization and
clarity of presentation of the paper. Authors are highly encouraged to list
the key contributions of their paper. This should be in a separate
paragraph in the introduction to the paper. Please note that the review
process is “single-blind” (i.e., authors can list their names on the
paper). This year we are introducing a two-phase review process, in which
the first round of reviews will be made available to the authors for a
brief rebuttal. Based on the reviews and the rebuttal, an initial decision
will be issued. Papers will be either accepted or rejected or recommended
for a second round. Authors of papers recommended for a second round will
be allowed to revise the paper to address the comments and suggestions made
by the program committee. The revisions will undergo a second round of
review before the final notification.
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not
currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not
following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further
action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to
the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the
conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length
limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors
may contact the Program Chairs of the respective tracks at their contact
email addresses below for further information or clarification.
Notification of review decisions will be emailed by September 30, 2019.
Camera-ready papers are due by October 14, 2019. A published proceedings
will be available at the conference.
At least one author of each paper must be registered for the conference in
order for the paper to be published in the proceedings. Presentation of an
accepted paper at the conference is a requirement of publication. Any paper
that is not presented at the conference will not be included in IEEE Xplore.
