CALL FOR PAPERS (Extended Deadline - Firm) SOCIAL MEDIA SENSING WORKSHOP July 29 – August 1, 2019 Valencia, Spain in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2019) http://www.cs.unibo.it/~mirri/sms19/ http://www.icccn.org/icccn19/index.html SUBMISSION DEADLINE April, 14, 2019 (FIRM) https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icccn2019 PUBLICATION IEEE Proceedings SCOPE Billions of users daily interact with social media platforms such 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 Decision-making models and OSMD Economics and Social effects Emotion recognition and description Event forecasting based on OSMD data Fake news detection Games and Social Media Health care services and applications Image Analysis IoT sensing with human-in-the-loop Lexicon Design Prediction Analysis Privacy and Security in OSMD Recommendation systems for OSMD Reputation and Trust Semantic Web Sentiment Analysis Smart City Society Sensing Social Graph Analysis Social Media Trust Text Analytics Ubiquitous and pervasive crowd-sensing Video Analysis GENERAL CHAIRS: Marco Furini, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy Silvia Mirri, University of Bologna, Italy

*** Apologies for multiple copies *** ================================================================================ C a l l F o r P a p e r s 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 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 ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Deadline for manuscript submissions June 30, 2019 * Expected publication date (tentative) November 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .

IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission: Friday, June 7, 2019 Paper Submission: Friday, June 14, 2019 Reviews for Rebuttals: Monday, July 29, 2019 Rebuttals due: Monday, August 5, 2019 Initial Submission Decision: Monday, August 19, 2019 Revisions Due: Friday, September 20, 2019 Author Notification: Monday, September 30, 2019 Camera Ready: Monday, October 14, 2019 Manuscript Guidelines Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references. See IEEE style templates at this page for details. Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file. Manuscripts must be received by the published paper submission deadline. 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.
