CALL FOR PAPERS
Smart computing aims at improving quality of life and experience in modern society represents thenext wave of computing. Key technologies for realizing smart computing include sensing, IoTs,
mobile and pervasive computing, cyber-physical-social systems, big data, machine learning, data
analytics, social and cognitive computing. Smart computing helps to solve a wide variety of societal
challenges related to transportation, energy, healthcare, finance, disaster management, and so on.
At the core of all such systems and applications, critical issues are security privacy, reliability,resiliency, and robustness. Indeed, to boost the development of big data applications in smart
computing, data security and data traceability as well as privacy are extremely important.
The 2017 IEEE International Workshop on Big Data and IoT Security in Smart Computing (IEEEBITS2017) focuses on theories and implementations on secure computing and secure data
management in Cloud/IoT environment. BITS is a full-day workshop that is going to be organized inconjunction in conjunction with The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing(SmartComp2017) on 29-31 May, 2017.
The topics to be addressed at BITS2017 will include, but not limited to, theoretical or practicalaspects of big data and IoT security and privacy in smart computing and cyber-physical systems.
Papers describing experience on real prototype implementations are also welcome. Submissions
should be targeted to one of the following sub-topics:••••••••••••••

Anonymity for big data
Cryptology for big data (Fully Homomorphic Encryption, Proof of Storage, Attribute-based
Encryption, etc.)
Computer architecture to speed-up secure computation
Cloud security (Security and privacy policies)
Data traceability for big data
Distributed systems security
Government funded projects in the area of data security and data traceability
Legal study for handling big data
Privacy risk assessment
Secure computation for big data
Secure information flow
Security management
Trust, security, privacy, and data provenance issues in Smart Computing
Security and privacy issues in various smart computing applications such as transportation,energy, environmental, smart city, healthcare, and social media
