Submission deadline | July 30, 2018 |
Computers are now available anytime, anywhere, by different means, and distributed unobtrusively throughout everyday environments in which physical objects/artifacts embedded with invisible computers are sensible and networked locally and globally. Such "any" computers open tremendous opportunities to provide numerous novel services/applications in both real world and cyber spaces, and exist ubiquitously in our daily life, working, learning, traveling, entertainment, medicine, etc. Although it is yet unclear what exactly the real-cyber integrated worlds would be, there is no doubt that they must be safe.
Following the traditions of previous successful UbiSafe conferences, formerly Symposium on Ubisafe Computing, held in Guangzhou, China (2017); Zhangjiajie, China (2016); Helsinki, Finland (2015); Beijing, China (2014); Melbourne, Australia (2013); Liverpool, UK (2012); Changsha, China (2011); Chengdu China (2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (2007). The 10th IEEE International Symposium on Ubisafe Computing (UbiSafe 2018) will be held in conjunction with "The 11th International Conference on Security, Privacy and Anonymity in Computation, Communication and Storage (SpaCCS 2018) ". It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on theories and technologies for ubiquitous artifacts to function safely for different purposes; for ubiquitous systems to work safely in various situations; and for ubiquitous environments to behave safely with all people.
Submission Guidelines
Scope and Interests
UbiSafe 2018 is an international symposium for presenting and discussing emerging ideas and trends in aspects of UbiSafe computing, but are not limited to:
(1) Fundamentals
UbiSafe concepts, definitions, basic elements, models, frameworks and methodologies, human-centric paradigms, multi-disciplinary/inter-disciplinary/trans-disciplinary approaches, semantics, ontologies, UbiSafe requirements and formal specifications and validations, information assurance, etc.
(2) Technologies
Security and privacy protection, reliability and fault tolerance, risk analysis, uncertainty and exception handling, socially intelligent agents, intuitive/natural user interface, interaction design, context-awareness, intelligent computing, service-oriented computing, hardware, software, middleware, etc.
(3) Systems
Embedded systems, wearable systems, augmented systems, context-based systems, communication systems, safety-critical systems, survivable systems, persistent systems, autonomous/autonomic systems, proactive systems, network infrastructure, sensor networks, etc.
(4) Applications
Smart objects, smart environments, information appliance and artifacts, everyday gadgets, robots, safety care, healthcare, medical care and services, working, learning, traveling, entertainment, case studies, etc.
(5) Measures and Assessments
UbiSafe attributes and measures for safety, trust, faith, amenity, easiness, comfort, satisfaction and worry, UbiSafe levels and relations, UbiSafe quality, assessment criteria and authority, subjective and objective assessment standards, evaluation methodologies, testing, measuring and monitoring tools, etc.
(6) Human Factors and Social Issues
Human and social aspects of UbiSafe, UbiSafe sources and factors, social rules, regulations and laws, human factors, human behavior analysis, modeling of human feelings, traditional and cultural issues, ethical issues, etc.
Submission and Publication Information
All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceedings of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 10 pages inSpringer LNCS format (or up to 14 pages with the pages over length charge), including tables, figures, references and appendices. Papers should be submitted through the paper submission system at the symposium website. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be considered for possible publication in SCI & EI indexed special issues of prestigious international journals. The program committee will select and award one "Best Paper Award" for this symposium. By submitting a paper to the conference, authors assure that if the paper is accepted, at least one author will attend the conference and present the paper.
