==============================================================================
The third IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Analytics for Network and
Service Management (AnNet 2018) will be held in conjunction with the
IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS) in Taipei,
Taiwan on April 23, 2018.
Following the success of the first two editions of this workshop, the main
goal of AnNet is to present research and experience results in the area of
data analytics and machine learning for network and service management.
Approaches such as statistical analysis, data mining, and machine learning
are promising mechanisms to harness the immense stream of operational data
and to improve operations and management of IT systems and networks.
AnNet 2018 will include original full-papers presentations, a keynote, and
short-paper sessions. The workshop attendees will be stimulated to
participate in interesting discussions. To this end, short papers
describing late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing
research and experimental work are also welcome.

Workshop on Industrial Internet of Things Security (WIIoTS)
Bilbao, Spain, June 4-7, 2018 (in conjunction with Global IoT Summit
2018)
http://globaliotsummit.org
Submission due: Feb 16, 2018 (GMT)
Conference Outline:
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is an emerging paradigm in
today’s (control) industry, comprising Internet-enabled cyber-physical
devices with the ability to couple to the new interconnection
technologies such as cloud/fog computing. Under this perspective, the
new industrial cyber-physical “things” can be accessible and
available from remote locations, the information of which can be
processed and stored in distributed locations, favouring the
cooperation, the performance in field, and the achievement of
operational tasks working at optimal times. However, the incorporation
of the IIoT in the new scenarios of the fourth industrial revolution,
also known as Industry 4.0, entails having to consider the new security
and privacy issues that can threaten the wellbeing of the new IIoT
ecosystem and its coexistence with the existing industrial technologies,
with a high risk of impact on the end-users.
Therefore, this workshop will create a collaboration platform for
experts from academia, governments and industry to address the new IIoT
security and privacy challenges. Papers related to security and privacy
of embedded systems working in industrial and control environments, such
as SCADA, smart grid, smart cities, manufacturing systems, water
systems, and in critical infrastructures in general, are all welcome at
WIIoTS 2018. The technical topics of interest for this workshop include,
but are not limited to:
• Interoperable IIoT ecosystem-level security and privacy challenges
• IIoT governance, regulation and standards
• Cross-layer threat modelling in IIoT and risk assessment
• Lightweight cryptography and key management
• Lightweight IIoT security protocols and AAA services for IIoT
• Collaborative and trustworthy IIoT frameworks and architectures
• Privacy-preserving models and anonymization techniques for IIoT
• Secure IIoT data storage and Big Data
• Location privacy and trust management
• Intrusion detection, anomaly diagnosis and situational awareness for
IIoT
• Response and resilience to IIoT cyber-attacks
• Incident management and IIoT forensics
• Case studies and practical validations: SCADA, energy, water, smart
factory, etc.

Track: Workshop on Adaptive Technology -- WAT 2018
==================================================
https://usp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e2bd2dfe2bca5a783c68a77df&id=…
The 9th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies
May 8-11, 2018, Porto, Portugal
(https://usp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e2bd2dfe2bca5a783c68a77df&id=…)
-- FINAL DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JANUARY 7, 2018 --
(Other dates have changed as well, please refer to "Important dates" in the workshop website.)
Theme
=====
Adaptive approach aims to aid the solution search of practical problems through auto-modifiable mathematical abstractions such as adaptive models and devices. In other words, the adaptive approach can be described as an auto-modifiable formalism.
An adaptive device is composed by two main aspects: subjacent and adaptive. The subjacent aspect is an rule-based device such as an automaton or an grammar. The adaptive aspect is a meta-level rule-based device that can change the configuration or topology of subjacent aspect. The adaptive aspect has both adaptive declarations and actions. Adaptive declaration is a pre-condition to an adaptive action; the adaptive action can modify the subjacent aspects´s rules through query, inclusion and exclusion. This is the mechanism that allows the auto-modification of adaptive device.
The first adaptive device was applied upon an structured stack automaton. Since then there were been proposed several adaptive formalisms, tests and applications using statecharts, Markov chains, decision tables, grammars, trees, etc. Those are used in robotic, artifical intelligence, compiler construction, etc.
This workshop is a development of a 10+ years national event held at University of São Paulo (Brazil) called WTA. It aims to provide a proper forum to discuss adaptivity both on theory and application. It is expected the presentation of high-quality, original research covering all aspects of adaptivity, its methodologies, design, analysis, implementation, verification, and case-studies. Original papers that embraces new and emerging research ideas about adaptivity are also welcome.
Topics
======
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Foundations of Adaptivity: notation, complexity, properties or comparison of models, automata, graphs and other auto-modifiable devices.
- Adaptive Technologies: tools, methods and techniques that allows the application of adaptivity in several contexts (such as languages, software engineering, programming,etc).
- Applications of Adaptivity to: artificial intelligence, networks, natural computing, automation, games, simulation, signal processing, computer art, etc
Paper format and submission
===========================
Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically using the online conference management system (EasyChair) in PDF format before the deadline (link available in the workshop page).
The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of Procedia Computer Science, MS Word Template, Latex, Template Generic, Elsevier (available for download in the workshop page).
Submitted technical papers must be no longer than 6 pages including all figures, tables and references.
All accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentations and will be included in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line.

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.

LOCATION
Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic with a
population of almost 400.000 and is the country's judiciary and
trade-fair center. Brno is the capital of South Moravia, which is
located in the south-east part of the Czech Republic and is known
for a wide range of cultural, natural, and technical sights.
South Moravia is a traditional wine region. Brno had been a Royal
City since 1347 and with its six universities it forms a cultural
center of the region.
Brno can be reached easily by direct flights from London and Munich,
and by trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna (130 km).
