time) ***


**
4th IEEE Workshop on Security and Privacy in the Cloud (SPC 2018)
Beijing, China - May 30-June 1, 2018
http://spc2018.di.unimi.it/
**

Cloud computing is today the reference paradigm for large-scale data
storage and processing due to the convenient and efficient network
access to configurable resources that can be easily adjusted according
to the users’ needs. Although the benefits of cloud computing are
tremendous, security and privacy concerns have still a detrimental
impact on the adoption and acceptability of cloud services. 
In fact, users as well as companies that rely on cloud storage and
computation services lose the direct control over the systems
managing their data and applications, thus putting the
confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data at risk.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are interested in discussing the security,
privacy, and data protection issues emerging in cloud scenarios,
and possible solutions to them.

SPC 2018 is the fourth workshop in this series and will be held
in Beijing, China, on May 30-June 1, in conjunction with the
IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security
(IEEE CNS 2018).

The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and
government presenting novel research, as well as experimental
studies, on all theoretical and practical aspects of security,
privacy, and data protection in cloud scenarios. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Anonymity in cloud scenarios
- Applied cryptography in cloud scenarios
- Cloud-based biometric systems
- Data and application security
- Data and system integrity
- Data availability in outsourcing scenarios
- Data protection
- Efficient access to outsourced data
- Key management in cloud scenarios
- Privacy
- Privacy of accesses
- Secure computation over encrypted data
- Security and trust metrics
- Security and privacy in crowdsourcing
- Security and privacy in multi-clouds and federated clouds
- Security and privacy in data outsourcing
- Security and privacy in the Internet of Things
- Security and privacy of big data
- Security and privacy of distributed computations
- Security and privacy of fog computing
- Security and privacy policies
- Selective information sharing
- Threats, vulnerabilities, and risk management


PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal
or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most
9 pages in the IEEE 8,5"x11" two-column format.
Submissions should not be anonymized. The workshop will also
consider short submissions of up to 4 pages for results that
are preliminary or that simply require few pages.

Papers should be submitted for review through EDAS
(http://edas.info/N24475). Only PDF files will be accepted.
Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the
extended deadline of March 16, 2018 (11:59 p.m. American Samoa time).

Objective 

Static Analysis is widely recognized as a fundamental tool for program 
verification, bug detection, compiler optimization, program understanding, and 
software maintenance. The series of Static Analysis Symposia has served as the 
primary venue for the presentation of theoretical, practical, and application 
advances in the area. The 25th Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2018, will be 
held in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Previous symposia were held in New York, 
Edinburgh, Saint-Malo, Munich, Seattle, Deauville, Venice, Perpignan, Los 
Angeles, Valencia, Kongens Lyngby, Seoul, London, Verona, San Diego, Madrid, 
Paris, Santa Barbara, Pisa, Aachen, Glasgow, and Namur. The proceedings of the 
conference will be published in the Advanced Research in Computing and Software 
Science (ARCoSS) subline of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science 
(LNCS) series.

Topics 

The technical program for SAS 2018 will consist of invited lectures and 
presentations of refereed papers. Contributions are welcomed on all aspects of 
static analysis, including, but not limited to: 
- Abstract domains
- Abstract interpretation 
- Automated deduction
- Data flow analysis 
- Debugging 
- Deductive methods
- Emerging applications 
- Model checking 
- Program optimization and transformation 
- Program synthesis
- Program verification 
- Security analysis 
- Tool environments and architectures
- Theoretical frameworks 
- Type checking

Paper Submission

Submissions can address any programming paradigm including concurrent, 
constraint, functional, imperative, logic, object-oriented, aspect, multi-core, 
distributed, and GPU programming. Papers must describe original work, be 
written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with 
papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a 
journal or a conference with refereed proceedings. Submitted papers will be 
judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and 
clarity. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is 
significant. Paper submissions should not exceed 15 pages in Springer's Lecture 
Notes in Computer Science LNCS format, excluding bibliography and well-marked 
appendices (we may admit additional pages for the final version). Program 
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers must 
be intelligible without them. 
Submissions are handled online: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sas20180

Artifact Evaluation

As in previous years, we are encouraging authors to submit a virtual machine 
image containing any artifacts and evaluations presented in the paper. The goal 
of the artifact submissions is to strengthen our field's scientific approach to 
evaluations and reproducibility of results. The virtual machines will be 
archived on a permanent Static Analysis Symposium website to provide a record 
of past experiments and tools, allowing future research to better evaluate and 
contrast existing work. Artifact submission is optional. We accept only virtual 
machine images that can be processed with Virtual Box.  Details on what to 
submit and how will be sent to the corresponding authors by mail shortly after 
the paper submission deadline. The submitted artifacts will be used by the 
program committee as a secondary evaluation criterion whose sole purpose is to 
find additional positive arguments for the paper's acceptance. Furthermore, an 
Artifact Evaluation Committee will assess artifacts and will award an "Artifact 
Approved" stamps to accepted papers that come with an artifact that allows to 
reproduce the results presented in the paper. Submissions without artifacts are 
welcome and will not be penalized.

Important Dates

- Full paper submission: April 6th, 2018 (anywhere on earth) 
- Artifact submission: April 20th, 2018 (anywhere on earth) 
- Notification: June 5th, 2018 
- Final version due: July 6th, 2018
- Conference: August 29th-August 31st, 2018

Workshop on Industrial Internet of Things Security (WIIoTS)

Bilbao, Spain, June 4-7, 2018 (in conjunction with Global IoT Summit 
2018)


http://globaliotsummit.org/sites/default/files/WIIoTS-2018.pdf

Extended Submission due:  March 27, 2018 (GMT)

Conference Outline:

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is an emerging paradigm in 
today’s (control) industry, comprising Internet-enabled cyber-physical 
devices with the ability to couple to the new interconnection 
technologies such as cloud/fog computing. Under this perspective, the 
new industrial cyber-physical “things” can be accessible and 
available from remote locations, the information of which can be 
processed and stored in distributed locations, favouring the 
cooperation, the performance in field, and the achievement of 
operational tasks working at optimal times. However, the incorporation 
of the IIoT in the new scenarios of the fourth industrial revolution, 
also known as Industry 4.0, entails having to consider the new security 
and privacy issues that can threaten the wellbeing of the new IIoT 
ecosystem and its coexistence with the existing industrial technologies, 
with a high risk of impact on the end-users.


Therefore, this workshop will create a collaboration platform for 
experts from academia, governments and industry to address the new IIoT 
security and privacy challenges. Papers related to security and privacy 
of embedded systems working in industrial and control environments, such 
as SCADA, smart grid, smart cities, manufacturing systems, water 
systems, and in critical infrastructures in general, are all welcome at 
WIIoTS 2018. The technical topics of interest for this workshop include, 
but are not limited to:


• Interoperable IIoT ecosystem-level security and privacy challenges
• IIoT governance, regulation and standards
• Cross-layer threat modelling in IIoT and risk assessment
• Lightweight cryptography and key management
• Lightweight IIoT security protocols and AAA services for IIoT
• Collaborative and trustworthy IIoT frameworks and architectures
• Privacy-preserving models and anonymization techniques for IIoT
• Secure IIoT data storage and Big Data
• Location privacy and trust management
• Intrusion detection, anomaly diagnosis and situational awareness for 
IIoT

• Response and resilience to IIoT cyber-attacks
• Incident management and IIoT forensics
• Case studies and practical validations: SCADA, energy, water, smart 
factory, etc.

Call for Papers

5th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS)
Affiliated with ICLP at FLoC 2018

July 13, 2018 - Oxford, UK

https://www.sci.unich.it/hcvs18/


Invited speakers: 

  Pierre Ganty (IMDEA Software Institute)
  Hiroshi Unno (University of Tsukuba)

Submission deadlines:

- Paper submission:   15 April 2018
- Paper notification: 15 May 2018
- Camera-ready:   31 May 2018
- Workshop:   13 July 2018


Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be
modeled directly using Horn clauses, and many recent advances in the
CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving
problems presented as Horn clauses.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the
communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP),
Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated
Deduction (e.g., CADE), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis,
verification and synthesis.

Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by
these communities at different times and from different perspectives,
and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful
exchange and integration of experiences.

The workshop follows four previous meetings: HCVS 2017 in Gothenburg, 
Sweden (w/CADE), HCVS 2016 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands (w/ETAPS), 
HCVS 2015 in San Francisco, CA, USA (w/CAV), and HCVS 2014 in Vienna, 
Austria (w/VSL).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn
clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas:

- Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds
  (e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order,
  concurrent)
- Program synthesis
- Program testing
- Program transformation
- Constraint solving
- Type systems
- Case studies and tools
- Challenging problems

We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of
Horn-clause based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit
extended abstracts describing work-in-progress, as well as
presentations covering previously published results that are of
interest to the workshop.

  format), which should present previously unpublished work (completed
  or in progress), including descriptions of research, tools, and
  applications.

- Extended abstracts (up to 3 pages in EPTCS format), which describe
  work in progress or aim to initiate discussions.

- Presentation-only papers, i.e., papers already submitted or
  presented at a conference or another workshop. Such papers can be
  submitted in any format, and will not be included in the workshop
  post-proceedings.

All submitted papers will be refereed by the program committee and
will be selected for inclusion in accordance with the referee
reports. Accepted regular papers and extended abstracts will be
published electronically as a volume in the Electronic Proceedings in
Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series, see http://www.eptcs.org/
