CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Conference on Safety and Security in Internet of Things (SaSeIoT 2015)

http://securityiot.eu/2015/show/home

26-27 October, 2015 – Rome, Italy
====================================================================================

SCOPE

The infrastructure of large cities is becoming increasingly vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters. 
Complex Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructures, critical dependencies and unforeseen 
cascading effects can worsen single hazard events to a threatening crisis of several entire infrastructures. 
With the dense population in urban areas along with the critical dependency on infrastructures, such crises become 
a serious threat to the safety and security of citizens and industries. When the "unforeseen" happens, public 
security comes to its limits Whether cyber, natural or industrial disasters - effective risk management 
must be a continuous process that recognizes new threats and opportunities, in particular in relation to 
new technological evolutions.

Internet of Things (IoT) will have an enormous impact on our future infrastructures. In the context of 
safety and security this is at the same time a challenge (How can we design secure 
and resilient IoT infrastructures?) and an opportunity (How can we use IoT for better safety and security?).
In particular in urban environments, the increasing deployments of IoT technologies and the rapid proliferation 
of sensored and automated cities are opening up new avenues of threats and opportunities toward 
public safety and security. Although we have seen various deployments of diverse IoT 
systems, our understanding of these systems and their implications in the context of safety 
and security has just scratched the surface. The Second International Conference on Safety and 
Security with IoT (SaSeIoT 2015) aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of IoT 
in the context of Safety and Security. The conference solicits original and inspiring research 
contributions from technology experts, researchers, designers, practitioners in academia, authorities 
and industry, and promises to offer a highly interactive forum to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices 
primarily in the following main application oriented themes:


•    Ensuring the resilience and security of IoT dependent infrastructures

The topics of interest in this theme include, but are not limited to:

- Models, methods and tools for testing IoT infrastructures
- Design of resilient IoT infrastructures
- Detection, prevention, response and mitigation of cyber threats to IoT
- Trust and identity management in IoT
- Security protocols in IoT
- Risk analysis and management for IoT infrastructures
- Threat modeling in IoT
 
•    Using IoT for crisis and emergency management

The topics of interest in this theme include, but are not limited to:

- IoT for threat and hazard detection
- IoT for situation-awareness
- IoT for crisis and emergency response
- IoT for command & control
- IoT for emergency forces


•    Privacy in IoT


•    Security and IoT Cloudification


PAPER SUBMISSION

Regular Papers should be up to 12 pages in length. Short papers up to 4 pages in length. 
Complete formatting and submission instructions can be found on the conference web site at: 
http://securityiot.eu/2015/show/initial-submission

Papers will be judged on originality, correctness, clarity and relevance. 
Submitted papers must be original work and should not be under consideration for 
another conference or journal.Submission of the paper implies agreement of the author(s) 
to attend the conference and present the paper if accepted.


PUBLICATION

All accepted papers will be published by Springer. The proceedings will be available both in 
book form and via the SpringerLink digital library.


SPECIAL ISSUE of INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL

A special issue of ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications
