Overview

In the last years, we have seen an increase in the number of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered applications for information retrieval and data science. This fact led to an increasing reliance on distributed computing infrastructures, including Cloud, Edge, and IoT environments. These architectures enable powerful and scalable solutions but also introduce new security and privacy risks that must be addressed at both the system and data levels. Even a single breach on any of the links of the data-service-infrastructure chain may seriously compromise the security of the end-user application. With such a wide attack surface, security must definitely be approached in a holistic way and addressed in any layer where concerns may potentially arise. SIoTEC solicits novel and innovative ideas, proposals, positions and best practices that address the modelling, design, implementation, and enforcement of security in Cloud/Edge/IoT environments.

Paper Submission

We invite original research papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers should be no longer than 6 pages in ACM sigcong template format. The review process is single blind. All accepted papers will be published by ACM as SIoTEC Proceedings and indexed by SCOPUS. The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.

A "Best Paper Award" Certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a paper presented at the workshop, selected by the Chairs based on scientific significance, originality and outstanding technical quality of the paper, as assessed also by the evaluations of the members of the Program Committee.

Best papers presented at the workshop will be selected and the corresponding authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for possible publications in:
