(Because of COVID-19 situation, IEEE BITS 2020's schedule has been changed.
The conference will still take place in Bologna, Italy. Proceedings will not be cancelled, andpublications will continue as planned.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause, and your understanding is appreciated.)<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 include security, privacy, reliability, resiliency,robustness, and efficiency. Indeed, to boost the development of big data applications in smart
computing, data security and data traceability as well as efficiency are extremely important.
After successful previously held three IEEE International Workshops on Big Data and IoT Security
in Smart Computing (IEEE BITS2017/2018/2019), the 4th workshop, IEEE BITS2020, will be held
focusing on theories and implementations on security, privacy, reliability, resiliency, and robustness
secure computing and efficient data management in Cloud/IoT environment. BITS is a full-day
workshop that is going to be organized in conjunction in conjunction with The 6th IEEE International
Conference on Smart Computing (SmartComp2020) on 20-25 June, 2020.
The topics to be addressed at BITS2020 will include, but not limited to, theoretical or practical aspectsof big data and IoT in smart computing and cyber-physical systems. Papers describing experience onreal prototype implementations are also welcome. Submissions should be targeted to one of thefollowing sub-topics:•••••••••••••••Big data management and its efficiency in Smart Computing
Cloud security and privacy policies
Data traceability for big data
Distributed systems security
Encryption theory and its implementations for big data
IoT services and applications in Smart Computing
Legal study for big data
Machine learning in Smart Computing
Privacy risk assessment
Secure computation for big data
Security management
Side-channel attacks in Smart Computing
Trust, security, privacy, and data provenance issues in Smart Computing
Privacy issues for big data
Security and privacy issues in various smart computing applications such as transportation,energy, environmental, smart city, healthcare, and social media<SUBMISSION GUIDELINES>
Paper submissions must be no longer than 6 pages and formatted according to the two-column IEEE
proceedings template. IEEE provides corresponding formatting templates at IEEE conference
template. Make sure to use the conference mode of the template, i.e., LaTeX users must use theconference option of the IEEEtran document class.
Papers must be submitted electronically as a single PDF file on US Letter size paper (not A4), withall fonts embedded (the PDF-A standard complies with that), through EDAS
(https://edas.info/N27130). Prior to submission, ensure that any running headers/footers, pagenumbering, as well as blue underlining for URLs and email addresses has been removed.
All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members andother experts in the field. All presented papers will be published in the IEEE SMARTCOMP 2020
conference proceedings and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
