The 8th IEEE International
Workshop on Big Data and IoT
Security in Smart Computing
During SMARTCOMP 2024 (June 29 - July 2, 2024, Osaka,Japan)
https://www.yama.info.waseda.ac.jp/en/bits2024

Call for Papers
Smart computing aims at improving quality of life and experience in modern society
represents the next wave of computing. Key technologies for realizing smart computing
include sensing, IoTs, mobile and pervasive computing, cyber-physical-social systems, bigdata, machine learning, data analytics, social and cognitive computing. Smart computing
helps to solve a wide variety of societal challenges related to transportation, energy,healthcare, nance, disaster management, and so on.
At the core of all such systems and applications, critical issues include security, privacy,reliability, resiliency, robustness, and ef ciency. Indeed, to boost the development of big dataapplications in smart computing, data security and data traceability as well as ef ciency areextremely important.
After successful previously held seven IEEE International Workshops on Big Data and IoT
Security in Smart Computing (IEEE BITS 2017/2018/2019/2020/2021/2022/2023), the8th workshop, IEEE BITS2024, will be held focusing on theories and implementations onsecurity, privacy, reliability, resiliency, and robustness secure computing and ef cient data
management in Cloud/IoT environment. BITS is a full-day workshop that is going to beorganized in conjunction in conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Conference on
Smart Computing (SmartComp2024) in June 29 – July 2, 2024.
The topics to be addressed at BITS2024 will include, but not limited to, theoretical orpractical aspects of big data and IoT 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▪

Big data management and its ef ciency in Smart Computing▪

Cloud security and privacy policies
