[Om-announce] CFP: Special Issue on "Security and Privacy in Cloud-Assisted Cyber-Physical Systems" in Computer Networks Journal (Elsevier)
*** Apologies for multiple copies *** C a l l F o r P a p e r s COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL - Elsevier Special Issue: Security and Privacy in Cloud-Assisted Cyber-Physical Systems Cloud-assisted Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) feature a tight coupling between embedded computing devices and their physical environment. CPSes can be viewed as the bridge between physical components/processes and the cyber space. Specifically, the notion of CPSes is to use computing (e.g. sensing, analyzing and predicting), communication (e.g. interaction, intervene and interface management), and controlling (e.g. inter-operation, evolving and evidence-based certification) to make intelligent and autonomous systems. Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the development of CPSes services, including ubiquitous health care, smart electricity grid, and smart buildings. However, the fast-growing data volume is hard to process. The present CPSes cannot support ultra-fast computing, and thus it cannot provide real-time and reliable services to meet the requirements, which are essential for mission-critical systems. Fortunately, cloud infrastructures and platforms can provide flexible and on-demand processing power and high-capacity storage for data streams, as well as provisioning of a variety of services using telecommunication and networking technologies. Thus, the large-scale nature of CPSes can be effectively and efficiently supported and assisted by cloud systems, which is referred to as cloud-assisted CPSes (Cloud-CPS). The coupling of cloud systems and CPSes, though advantageous, is subject to new forms of risks that have not been considered adequately in the traditional computing domain. CPSes often collect sensitive and private information about the physical environment. A loss of security for a CPS can therefore have significant negative impact including loss of privacy, potential physical harm, discrimination, and abuse. Though numerous security primitives have been developed in the cyber domain to address the very same problems, their applicability to the Cloud-CPSes domain is still questionable due to the reason that they are usually complex to implement and oblivious to cyber-physical interactions. The goal of this special issue is to unveil and address the security and privacy aspects associated to the Cloud-CPeSs. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the following. * Secure data sharing in Cloud-CPSes * Big data security and privacy in Cloud-CPSes * Secure computation in Cloud-CPSes * Location privacy in Cloud-CPSes * Lightweight block ciphers for low-resource devices in Cloud-CPSes * Searchable encryption in Cloud-CPSes * End to end secure communications in Cloud-CPSes * Access control in Cloud-CPSes * Key management in Cloud-CPSes These topics remark the differences between the classical CPSes and Cloud-CPSes, and particularly when designing security and privacy solutions for specific Cloud-assisted CPSes applied in restricted environments with rigorous performance requirements and criticality in mind. - Important Dates - * Submission deadline: June 30, 2017 * Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2017 * Final manuscript due: October 15, 2017 - Paper Submission Guidelines - All submitted papers to this special issue must be well written in English, and must be original and not be under review in any other journal or conference proceedings. When submitting their papers authors must select “Security in Cloud CPS” as the article type. Submitted papers should be presented according to the journal style. For more detailed information regarding the requirements for submission, please refer to: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-authors.

Submissions of regular papers (RPs) must follow the condensed TPLP format (template available from ICLP’s web page) and not exceed 14 pages including bibliography. RPs may be supplemented with appendices for proofs and details of datasets which do not count towards the page limit and which will be available as appendices to the published paper. Three kinds of RPs will be accepted: * Technical papers for technically sound, innovative ideas that can advance the state of logic programming; * Application papers that impact interesting application domains; * System and tool papers which emphasize novelty, practicality, usability, and availability of the systems and tools described. Application, system, and tool papers need to be clearly marked in their title. All submissions must be written in English and describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings. Papers of the highest quality will be selected to be published in the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP), Cambridge University Press (CUP). In order to ensure the quality of the final version, papers may be subject to more than one round of refereeing (within the decision period). The program committee may recommend some RPs to be published as Technical Communications (TCs). TCs will be published by Dagstuhl Publishing in the OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs). TCs must follow the OASIcs format (template available from ICLP’s web page) and not exceed 14 pages excluding the bibliography and a short appendix (up to 5 more pages). TC’s authors can also elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts, of 2 or 3 pages, for inclusion in the OASIcs proceedings. This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere. All RPs and TCs will be presented during the conference. Authors of accepted papers will, by default, be automatically included in the list of ALP members, who will receive quarterly updates from the Logic Programming Newsletter at no cost.
