The ACM International Systems and Storage Conference (SYSTOR) is an excellent international forum for interaction across the systems research community. The program includes both innovative, peer-reviewed research papers in the broad area of systems, as well as distinguished keynote lecturers, a poster session, and social events. ACM SYSTOR is designed to appeal to academic and industrial researchers and practitioners, welcoming both students and seasoned professionals. SYSTOR has traditionally welcomed academic and industrial papers in systems including storage, cloud and distributed systems, networking, and systems security, broadly construed. While continuing on this tradition, this year, we are broadening the scope to also include research on systems issues in AI and/or sustainability, including those that involve workload optimization, data processing, lifecycle of systems, carbon footprint transparency, and system re-designs. SYSTOR encourages submissions that describe results from experimental system prototypes, as well as experience papers describing practical deployments, and valuable lessons learned from them. Topics of interest include System Security and Trust.

HealthSec 2024 Workshop on Cybersecurity in Healthcare, Held in conjunction with the 31st ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS 2024), Salt Lake City, Utah USA, October 14, 2024. [posted here 5/6/24]
In its most basic form, healthcare is gathering data, interpreting data into information, and transforming information into current human knowledge that can be acted upon, with each of these stages open to unintended errors and/or malicious subversion. These stages do not occur within a vacuum but rather within our existing infrastructures and social system with all their current limitations, systemic bias, and exploitable vulnerabilities. While a similar characterization can be made about security in other applied domains, healthcare is undergoing a dramatic transformation, arguably the next technological revolution, presenting immediate opportunities for improvement along with corresponding challenges in security. ur desire is to bring together diverse researchers from academia, government, and the healthcare industry to report on latest research efforts. As this is the inaugural workshop focusing on cybersecurity in healthcare, we aim to encourage, jumpstart, and grow excellent interdisciplinary contributions at the forefront of research.

ICSS 2024 10th Industrial Control System Security Workshop, Held in conjunction with the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC), Waikiki, Hawaii, Dec 10, 2024. [posted here 8/12/24]
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and industrial control systems (ICS) monitor and control a wide range of critical industrial and infrastructure processes, such as water treatment, power generation and transmission, oil and gas refining, and manufacturing. Furthermore, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is rapidly expanding the interconnectivity of ICS environments and introducing many new threats. These environments have been identified as a key target of more generic threats (ransomware, e.g., CL0p), along with more recent tailored nation-state threats targeting electric transmission and distribution systems (e.g., COSMICENERGY). The essential requirement for high availability in SCADA and industrial control systems, along with the use of resource-constrained computing devices, legacy operating systems, and proprietary software applications, limits the applicability of traditional information security solutions. The goal of this workshop is to explore new techniques that are more effective and efficient at improving the security and resilience of critical control systems in the face of emerging threats.
