STPA 2016 - International Workshop on Security, Trust, Privacy and Analytics
https://sites.google.com/site/stpa2016/
in conjunction with The 30th IEEE International Conference on
Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-2016)
Le Régent Congress Centre, Crans-Montana, Switzerland,
March 23 - 25, 2016
**********************************************************************************************
Objective
Security and privacy are important aspects of computer and communications
systems. With the advent of IoT and big data, analytics has become very
important. The workshop stands at the confluence of security and privacy
and data analytics. This workshop provides a forum for presentations of
papers on these and related topics. Different from main conference, this
workshop can be a platform to report results with shorter turn-around time
and work in progress. In particular, students can present their papers in
the workshop while attending the main conference.
There are two goals of the workshop: Privacy-preserving analytics and
analytics for security. With the growing focus on big data and Internet of
Things (IoT), analytics has become all the more important. A lot of
information is being collected and analyzed, such as health-care data, data
from social networks. These data are sensitive and needs to be protected
from intrusion and misuse. Data is often stored in untrusted cloud servers.
Users want to be sure that their data is not leaked or used elsewhere
inappropriately. Privacy and analytics seem to be contradictory goals
unless done in a systematic way. Privacy-preserving analytics is what is
desired. Fortunately, in recent years there has been a thrust on this area
and a number of tools and techniques have been developed. K-anonymity,
Differential privacy are being widely studied. Secure and privacy
preserving computations on untrusted servers are active areas of research.
The other focus of this workshop is to use analytics for security.
Cybersecurity is a challenging and important area of research. Threats have
multiplied and have become more complex in the last few years. Security
breaches have been reported on many financial networks, social networks and
defence systems. Detection of malware, anomaly detection, network traffic
analysis, fraud detection, graph-based user behavior modeling and profiling
has become ever more important to protect individuals and companies.
Machine learning and analytics are essential tools for many of these
security problems.
The aim of this workshop is to discuss about the synergy between analytics,
security and privacy. STPA 2016 is an international forum for researchers,
developers, and practitioners to demonstrate new ideas, techniques, and
tools on security and privacy-preserving analytics and analytics for
security. The workshop welcomes academia, government, industry, and
contributing individuals to submit unpublished papers in theoretical and
practical aspects of security, privacy and analytics.
Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Privacy preserving data mining
Differential Privacy
Anonymous Credentials
Homomorphic Encryption
Searchable Encryption
Verifiable Computation
Secure Multiparty Computation
Big data analytics for security
Malware detection
Anomaly detection
Intrusion detection
Fraud detection
Behavior analysis and profiling
Trust Management and quantification
K-anonymity/L-diversity
Big Data applications (e.g., life sciences, health informatics,
geo-informatics, socio-cultural dynamics, business analytics, cybersecurity)
Secure graph analytics
Scalable tools, techniques and technologies for Big Data analytics
Streaming data analysis
Graph-Based User Behavior Modeling
Important Dates
Submission Deadline: October 23, 2015

Conference Dates: March 23 - 25, 2016
Contribution Format
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers to the
workshop featuring a comprehensive technical program. All paper submissions
must follow the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings and in
8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format. Each submission can have at most 6 pages.
