Journal of Systems Architecture,
Special Issue on Distributed Learning and Blockchain Enabled Infrastructures
for Next Generation of Big Data Driven Cyber-Physical Systems.
(Submission Due 31 March 2023) [posted here 2/27/23]
Guest editors: Xiaokang Zhou (Shiga University, Japan),
Giancarlo Fortino (University of Calabria, Italy),
Carson Leung (University of Manitoba, Canada),
and Mohammad Hammoudeh (King Fahd University of Petroleum & Mineral, Saudi Arabia).
Modern Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is composed by integrating and networking
the physical world, computational components, and Internet-of-Things(IoT)
devices such as sensors, actuators, etc. Typical CPS applications include
autonomous driving systems, smart home, robotics systems, smart healthcare systems,
etc. With the prevalence of CPSs, the huge volume of ever-increasing data
produced by heterogeneous IoT devices raise crucial challenges in both system
architectures and data management. First, traditional centralized CPSs have
the shortcomings of destitute transparency and scalability, making it difficult
to scale with the ever-increasing volume of data generated across CPSs. Moreover,
CPSs are often associated with sensitive data, while their centralized
infrastructures expose them to vulnerability, data breaches, and denial of services.
Therefore, the decentralized CPS infrastructure becomes a potential solution,
in particular, it is essential to explore new big data processing techniques
with decentralized CPS infrastructures.
Distributed learning and blockchain techniques, envisioned as the
bedrock of future intelligent networks and IoT technologies, have
attracted tremendous
attentions from both academy and industry due to the nature of
decentralization, data security, and privacy benefits. The decentralized architectures,
together with the ability to enable secured, trusted and decentralized
autonomous ecosystems, revolutionize increasingly centralized CPSs for infrastructures
and applications, as well as reshaping of traditional data mining and
knowledge discovery patterns. However, adopting distributed learning and blockchain
technologies in big data driven CPS applications requires essential
insights with respect to concrete application domains, scalability, privacy issues,
performance, and financial benefits as well.

WTMC 2023
8th International Workshop on Traffic Measurements for Cybersecurity,
Co-located with 8th IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (IEEE EuroS&P 2023),
Delft, The Netherlands, July 7, 2023.
(Submission Due 22 March, 2023) [posted here 1/16/23]
Current communication networks are increasingly becoming pervasive,
complex, and ever-evolving due to factors like enormous growth in the
number of network users, continuous appearance of network applications,
increasing amount of data transferred, and diversity of user behavior.
Understanding and measuring traffic in such networks is a challenging yet
vital task for network management but recently also for cybersecurity
purposes. Network traffic measurement and monitoring can, for example,
enable the analysis of the spreading of malicious software and its
capabilities or can help to understand the nature of various network
threats, including those that exploit user's behavior and other user's
sensitive information. On the other hand, network traffic investigation
can also help to assess the effectiveness of the existing countermeasures
or contribute to building new, better ones. Traffic measurements have been
utilized in the area of economics of cybersecurity e.g., to assess ISP
"badness" or to estimate the revenue of cybercriminals. Recent research
has focused on measurements of fake news and the interplay between misinformation
and user engagement in news postings using different online platforms.
The WTMC workshop aims to bring together the research accomplishments
provided by researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal
is to show the latest research results in the field of cybersecurity
and understand how traffic measurements can influence it. We encourage
prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on
the subject of both theoretical approaches and practical case reviews.
This workshop presents some of the most relevant ongoing research in
cybersecurity seen from the traffic measurements perspective.
The workshop will be accessible to both non-experts interested in learning
about this area and experts interested in hearing about new research and
approaches.

CUING 2023
7th International Workshop on Criminal Use of Information Hiding,
Held in conjunction with the 18th International Conference on Availability,
Reliability and Security (ARES 2023),
Benevento, Italy, August 29 - September 1, 2023.
(Submission Due 22 May 2023) [posted here 2/27/23]
With the constant rise of the number of Internet users, available
bandwidth and an increasing number of services shifting into the connected
world, criminals are increasingly active in the virtual world. With
improving defensive methods cybercriminals have to utilize more and more
sophisticated ways to perform their malicious activities. While protecting
the privacy of users, many technologies used in current malware and network
attacks have been abused in order to allow criminals to carry out their
activities undetected. This poses a lot of new challenges for digital forensics
analysts, academics, law enforcement agencies (LEAs), and security professionals.
The aim of the International Workshop on Criminal Use of Information
Hiding (CUIng) is to bring together researchers, practitioners, law enforcement
representatives, and security professionals in the area of analysis of
information hiding. However data hiding is understood here in a wider manner
than in the academic world i.e. all techniques that pertain to
camouflaging/masking/hiding various types of data (e.g. identities, behavior,
communication, etc.) are included here. This means not only digital
steganography/covert channels but also obfuscation/anti-forensics techniques
and even underground networks (darknets) or activities related to behavior
impersonation or mimicking. This will allow to present a more complete picture
on novel research regarding the use of data and communication hiding methods
in criminal environments and discuss ideas for fighting misuse of privacy
enhancing technologies.

ENS 2023
5th International Workshop on Emerging Network Security,
Held in conjunction with the 18th International Conference on Availability,
Reliability and Security (ARES 2023),
Benevento, Italy, August 29 - September 1, 2023.
(Submission Due 22 May 2023) [posted here 2/27/23]
With the great success and development of 5G & beyond systems and other
emerging concepts (e.g. 6G) a continued effort toward rich ubiquitous
communication infrastructure, promising wide range of high-quality
services is desired. It is envisioned that communication in emerging
networks will offer significantly greater data bandwidth and almost
infinite capability of networking resulting in unfaltering user
experiences for, among others: virtual/augmented reality, massive
content streaming, telepresence, user-centric computing, crowded
area services, smart personal networks, Internet of Things (IoT),
smart buildings and smart cities.
The communication in 5G networks and beyond is currently in the
center of attention of industry, academia, and government worldwide.
Emerging network concepts drive many new requirements for different
network capabilities. As future networks aim at utilizing many
promising network technologies, such as Software Defined Networking
(SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Information Centric
Network (ICN), Network Slicing or Cloud Computing and supporting a
huge number of connected devices integrating above mentioned advanced
technologies and innovating new techniques will surely bring tremendous
challenges for security, privacy and trust. Therefore, secure network
architectures, mechanisms, and protocols are required as the basis
for emerging networks to address these issues and follow
security-by-design approach. Finally, since in current and future
networks even more user data and network traffic will be transmitted,
big data security solutions should be considered in order to address
the magnitude of the data volume and ensure data security and privacy.
From this perspective, the ENS 2022 workshop aims at collecting the most
relevant ongoing research efforts in emerging network security field. It
also serves as a forum for 5G & beyond projects in order to disseminate
their security-related results and boost cooperation, also foster
development of the 5G and beyond Security Community made of 5G security
experts and practitioners who pro-actively discuss and share information
to collectively progress and align on the field. Last but not least it
also aims to bridge 5G & Beyond community with other communities (e.g. AI)
that are key to support full attainment of 5G & Beyond but also 6G
promises and so for those technologies to release their full potential.

development among academia, industry, and government. It aims to bridge the
gap between constructive security research and practice and to enable the
real-world impact of security research in the long run. Developers have
valuable experiences and ideas that can inform academic research, and
researchers have concepts, studies, and even code and tools that could
benefit developers. We solicit research and experience papers on a broad range
of topics relating to secure systems development. Examples of topics that are
in scope include: development libraries, tools, or processes to produce
systems resilient to certain attacks; formal foundations that underpin a
language, tool, or testing strategy that improves security; techniques that
drastically improve the scalability of security solutions for practical
deployment; and experience, designs, or applications showing how to apply
cryptographic techniques effectively to secure systems. SecDev also seeks
hands-on and interactive tutorials on processes, frameworks, languages, and
tools for building security in. The goal is to share knowledge on the art and
science of secure systems development.
