SCOPE

With the rapid development and increasing complexity of computer
systems and communication networks, user requirements for trust,
security and privacy are becoming more and more demanding. Therefore,
there is a grand challenge that traditional security technologies and
measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic,
heterogeneous, mobile, wireless, and distributed computing
environments. As a result, we need to build systems and networks in
which various applications allow users to enjoy more comprehensive
services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same
time. As useful and innovative technologies, trusted computing and
communications are attracting researchers with more and more
attention.


The 15th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy
in Computing and Communications (IEEE TrustCom-16) will be held in
Tianjin, China on 23-26 August 2016. The conference aims at bringing
together researchers and practitioners in the world working on trusted
computing and communications, with regard to trust, security, privacy,
reliability, dependability, survivability, availability, and fault
tolerance aspects of computer systems and networks, and providing a
forum to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly
challenging research field.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in
English, must not exceed 8 pages, including tables, figures,
references and appendixes, in IEEE Computer Society proceedings format
with Portable Document Format (.pdf). Please submit your paper at
http://adnet.tju.edu.cn/TrustCom2016/paper_submission.html

Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness,
significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a
paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be
accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the
conference to present the work. Accepted and presented papers will be
included in the IEEE CPS Proceedings. Distinguished papers presented
at the conference, after further revision, will be recommended to high
quality international journals.
