Special Session on "Security in Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing" aims to bring together researchers and practitioners involved in multiple disciplines concerning security in distributed systems to exchange ideas and to learn the latest developments in this important field. We will focus on issues related to network and distributed system security, such as authentication, access control, confidentiality, integrity, availability, privacy, dependability and sustainability of distributed systems. Previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions to the theoretical and practical aspects of security in distributed systems are solicited for submission. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Adaptive security * Applied cryptography * Authentication, authorization and access control * Big data for security * Cloud security * Computer and network forensics * Data mining, machine learning, and bio-inspired approaches for security * Digital rights management * Embedded system security * Internet and web security * Intrusion and malware detection and prevention * Risk analysis and risk management * Security and privacy in pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Security evaluation * Security of emerging technologies * Security modeling and simulation * Security policies * Security protocols * Software security * Survivability * Tamper resistance * Trust management * Trusted computing Important dates - Paper submission: 3 Nov, 2017 - Acceptance notification: 1 Dec, 2017 - Camera ready due: 22 Dec, 2017 - Conference: 21 - 23 Mar, 2018 Session Chair Igor Kotenko St Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation, Russia ITMO University Program Committee Miguel Correia, INESC-ID, Instituto Superior Tecnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal Felix Gomez Marmol, University of Murcia, Spain Sergey Bezzateev, Saint Petersburg University of Airspace Instrumentation, Russia Ming-Yuh Huang, The Boeing Company, USA Evgenia Novikova, Saint Petersburg LETI University, Russia Nikolay Moldovyan, SPIIRAS, Russia Martin Strecker, Universite de Toulouse, France Nuno Neves, DI FC UL, Portugal Igor Saenko, St.Petersburg Signal Academy, Russia Luigi Coppolino, University of Naples "Parthenope", Italy Dennis Gamayunov, Moscow State University, Russia Gregorio Martinez Perez, University of Murcia, Spain Andrey Chechulin, ITMO University, Russia Fabrizio Baiardi, Pisa University, Italy Cataldo Basile, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Julien Bourgeois, UFC, France Dumitru Burdescu, University of Craiova, Romania Hakima Chaouchi, Telecom SudParis, France Yannick Chevalier, Universite de Toulouse, France Herve Debar, Telecom SudParis, France Dieter Gollmann, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany Stefanos Gritzalis, University of the Aegean, Greece Alexander Grusho, Moscow State University, Russian Federation Spyros Kokolakis, University of the Aegean, Greece Antonio Mana, University of Malaga, Spain Fabio Martinelli, IIT-CNR, Italy Haralambos Mouratidis, University of Brighton, UK Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, Linkoping University, Sweden Vladimir Oleshchuk, University of Agder, Norway Lotfi Ben Othmane, Fraunhofer SIT, Germany Roland Rieke, Fraunhofer SIT, Germany Luigi Romano, University of Naples "Parthenope", Italy Jose Such, King's College London, UK Peter Teufl, IAIK / Graz University of Technology, Austria Shambhu Upadhyaya, University at Buffalo Brecht Wyseur, Nagravision S.A., Saudi Arabia Ilsun You, Korean Bible University, Korea Submission guidelines prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the Conference proceedings format ( double-column, 10pt) through the EasyChair conference submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?confpdp2018).
