Proposals are solicited for one-day or half-day workshops to be held as part of the SecureComm 2022 conference (October 17-19, 2022). Workshops bridging security and communications, or presenting new perspectives in security areas are particularly welcome. A full list of current topics of interest can be found in the SecureComm Call For Papers (https://securecomm.eai-conferences.org/2022/call-for-papers/). SecureComm workshops provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal environment than the main conference itself. The submission format of each workshop will be determined by the workshop organizers. Accepted workshop papers will be published in the SecureComm workshop proceedings by Springer, together with the main SecureComm proceedings. Thus, the timeline to print proceedings are planned according to the SecureComm proceedings schedule. --------------------------------------------------------- Deadline for Workshop Proposals Proposals Due: May 15, 2022 Notification of Workshop Proposal Acceptance: May 30, 2022 The dates for papers due, notification of acceptance, and camera ready will be determined by the workshop organizers and may change.

Why is this topic of particular interest at this time? If the workshop has been organized in the past at SecureComm or other conferences, please give details of previous instances (venue, URL) and describe why it should be held again and how it will extend and build upon previous ones. * Topics and scope: These should be within or close to the scope covered by the main conference, as mentioned above. * Format: Give a description of the proposed workshop format, including the target number of participants, planned activities (such as introductions, invited talks, breakout group activities, general discussion), as well as how these activities address the workshop objectives. * Soliciting Submissions: Indicate how you plan to attract submissions and/or participants. Tactics may include circulating a call to relevant mailing lists (indicate these please as well), publicizing your workshop at other relevant venues, and more. * Selecting Participants: Indicate how you plan to select participants and contributions to the workshop. Indicate a program committee to help with the organization/review process. * Organizers: Give short descriptions of each of the organizers?background and interests related to security and privacy in communication networks and the specific workshop topic. --------------------------------------------------------- Workshop selection We aim to select a diverse set of workshops and avoid having multiple workshops on overlapping themes. Organizers of the selected workshops will be asked to produce a Call for Papers to describe the workshop to potential participants and solicit submissions. In order to promote vivid discussions with more participants to the workshops, EAI will provide Workshop Organizers with one free registration to the Workshop for each 10 papers submitted to their workshop. The criteria for assessment will include: - Relevance to conference vision/topics and attendees - Potential to bring in participants to the conference from different audiences - Overall quality of contribution - Provides a hands-on, collaborative, and/or active learning environment for attendees --------------------------------------------------------- Workshop publication Accepted and presented papers will be published alongside the main conference proceedings as a sub-section/chapter. Paper formats should, therefore, correspond to the templates of the publisher of the main conference. Workshop chairs are invited to engage with the journals and further publication opportunities. --------------------------------------------------------- Proposal submission Workshop proposals should be submitted in a maximum of 4 pages in PDF format, single-spaced. Please email your workshop proposals to Workshop chairs (Dr. Lannan Lisa Luo and Dr. Fatih Turkmen) through the email address: (securecomm22@gmail.com).
