Call for Papers

Scaling up machine-learning (ML), data mining (DM) and reasoning algorithms
from Artificial Intelligence (AI) for massive datasets is a major technical
challenge in the time of "Big Data". The past ten years have seen the rise
of multi-core and GPU based computing. In parallel and distributed
computing, several frameworks such as OpenMP, OpenCL, and Spark continue to
facilitate scaling up ML/DM/AI algorithms using higher levels of
abstraction. We invite novel works that advance the trio-fields of ML/DM/AI
through development of scalable algorithms or computing frameworks. Ideal
submissions should describe methods for scaling up X using Y on Z, where
potential choices for X, Y and Z are provided below.

preparation lines characterized by different dynamics and granularities.
The objective of the work is to carry out a planning of the order
preparation so as to satisfy the schedules of the delivery trucks; some
orders are known from the beginning of the day while others will appear
in the order book as the day progresses. The main constraint is that it
is necessary to regroup at the end of the factory and in the same truck
trailer, the different cartons constituting a single order.

The initial work will focus on improving the replenishment of lines so
as to avoid risks due to lack of a type of medication and by optimizing
distribution rules and planning at the level of preparation lines.

[DMANET] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0"

================================================================================

C a l l F o r P a p e r s

IEEE TRANSACTION ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS

Special Section: Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0

URL:
http://www.ieee-ies.org/images/files/tii/ss/2019/Security_and_Privacy_in_Industry_40__2019-2-19.pdf

================================================================================

Industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing
a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring
about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to
couple the Information Technologies (ITs) with the existing Operational
Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize
operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders
[4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems
to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0
constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex
technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can
arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different
production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and
manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health
environments. This way of connecting entities with the "smart world" and
the interconnection of different Industry 4.0 domains based on the new
paradigms and heterogeneous technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems
(CPS), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or edge computing
infrastructures (cloud/fog computing systems), certainly, opens the door to
coexistence problems and novel exploitations. Diverse vulnerabilities and
risks may significantly grow according to the new adaptations and the
participation of stakeholders, generating a need to further research
protection issues required to safeguard the operational processes and
ensure a secure and resilient and dependable cohesion between IT and OT
systems, including physical entities.

For this reason, industries, governments and scientific communities are
increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that
Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a
country. The tendency to couple the ITs with the existing Operational
Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize
operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders
[4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems
to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0
constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex
technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can
arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different
production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and
manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health
environments.

The aim of this special issue is therefore to bring together researchers
from diverse interdisciplinary areas of computing and security to cover,
from a holistic point of view, the topics related to secure coupling of the
new ITs with operational networks, without discarding aspects on privacy.

This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following
topics:

• Security and privacy analysis and requirements in Industry 4.0
• Secure management and governance of Industry 4.0 operational services and
systems
• Vulnerabilities and risk assessment in manufacturing and automation
systems
• Advanced threat models, cyber-crime or cyber-espionage for Industry 4.0
• Dependable and secure Industry 4.0 architectures by design
• Lightweight cryptography and key management in Industry 4.0
• Identity management and access control for Industry 4.0 domains
• Secure interoperability, mobility and coexistence between systems,
including users
• Prevention, awareness and resilience models for Industry 4.0 advanced
threats
• Secure context management and accountability for Industry 4.0 domains
• Data preservation and privacy models for Industry 4.0
• Trust management and trusted computing models for Industry 4.0.
• Secure cloud/fog-assisted manufacturing and predictive maintenance
services

[DMANET] Final Call for submissions for the 12th International Workshop on Numerical Software Verification

Final Call for Submissions
————————————————
The 12th International Workshop on
Numerical Software Verification co-located with CAV,
13-14 July 2019, New York, NY, USA
http://nsv19.mpi-sws.org/ <http://nsv19.mpi-sws.org/>

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: 1 May 2019
Notification of acceptance: 22 May 2019
Final version: 29 May 2019
Workshop: 13-14 July 2019

SCOPE:
—————————————————
Numerical computations are ubiquitous in digital systems: supervision, prediction, simulation and signal processing rely heavily on numerical calculus to achieve desired goals. Design and verification of numerical algorithms has a unique set of challenges, which set it apart from rest of software verification. To achieve the verification and validation of global properties, numerical techniques need to precisely represent local behaviors of each component. The implementation of numerical techniques on modern hardware adds another layer of approximation because of the use of finite representations of infinite precision numbers that usually lack basic arithmetic properties such as commutativity and associativity. Finally, the development and analysis of cyber-physical systems (CPS) which involve the interacting continuous and discrete components pose a further challenge. It is hence imperative to develop logical and mathematical techniques for the reasoning about programmability and reliability. The NSV workshop is dedicated to the development of such techniques.

Topics of interest:
The scope of the workshop includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics:

— Quantitative and qualitative analysis of hybrid systems
— Models and abstraction techniques
— Optimal control of dynamical systems
— Parameter identification for hybrid systems
— Numerical optimization methods
— Hybrid systems verification
— Applications of hybrid systems to systems biology
— Propagation of uncertainties, deterministic and probabilistic models
— Specifications of correctness for numerical programs
— Quality of finite precision implementations
— Numerical properties of control software
— Validation for space, avionics, automotive and real-time applications
— Validation for scientific computing programs

Submission Guidelines:
————————————————
We solicit regular and short papers:

— Regular papers describe original contributions that are neither published nor under review for publication elsewhere. They must not exceed 15 pages in LNCS style <https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>, plus possibly bibliography and appendices. However, program committee members are not required to read the appendices, thus papers must be intelligible without them.
— Short papers present tools, benchmarks, case-studies or are extended abstracts of ongoing research. They should not exceed 6 pages, excluding extra material as above.

Paper submission must be performed via the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nsv19 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nsv19>.

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 signifiant. All accepted papers will be published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) with Springer Verlag http://www.springer.com/lncs <http://www.springer.com/lncs>.

* Submissions due: May 1st, 2019 [Firm Deadline]
*
********************************************************************

SCOPE
======

By social good we refer to a "good" or a service that benefits the
largest number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic
examples of social goods are, of course, healthcare, safety,
environment, democracy, and human rights, but we can add to this
classic list even communication, art, entertainment and much more.

In this context, the popularity of portable computing devices, like
smartphones, tablets, or smart watches combined with the emergence of
many other small smart objects with computational, sensing and
communication capabilities coupled with the popularity of social
networks and new human-technology interaction paradigms is creating
unprecedented opportunities for each of us to do something useful,
ranging from a single person to the whole world. Furthermore, Internet
of Things, Smart-cities, distributed sensing and Fog computing are
representative examples of modern ICT paradigms that aim to describe a
dynamic and globally cooperative infrastructure built upon objects'
intelligence and self-configuring capabilities. These connected
objects are finding their way into our pockets, vehicles, urban areas
and infrastructure, thus becoming the very texture of our society and
providing us the possibility, but also the responsibility, to shape it.

In GOODTECHS we are hence interested in experiences with the design,
implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects
and technologies for social good. Clearly, we are not considering only
the so called first world as the scenario for this evolution; we also
refer to those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping
that it may represent a societal development opportunity rather than a
source for further divide.

Topics
Authors are solicited to submit original, previously unpublished
papers in the following, but not limited to topic areas:

- App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms

CALL FOR PAPERS

What is currently referred to as Data Science is object of research since
the sixties. It is an interdisciplinary area that has recently gained a lot
momentum since it became clear that the insights present in the massive and
increasing amount of available digital data, commonly referred to as "big
data", can re-shape a broad range of socio-economic activities, such as
retail, finance, healthcare, energy, telcos, media, government, and many
others.
Among all these applications of the discipline, Data Science for Health
Systems have attracted a lot of research efforts. It consists unlocking
hidden insights in biomedical big data sets, and provide answers to ongoing
biomedical problems. The ICT technologies that are expected to have a
crucial role in data science for health systems include big data
management, virtualization and visualization technologies, machine
learning. This branch of Data Science is considered essential means
tackling numerous challenges in many heath-related fields, such as
medicine, pharmacology and synthetic biology. The interdisciplinary nature
of the area has prompted the creation of research projects and working
