The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on
Big Data and IoT Security in Smart Computing
June 18-20, 2018 – Taormina, Sicily, Italy

CALL FOR PAPERS
Smart computing aims at improving quality of life and experience in modern society
represents the next wave of computing. Key technologies contributing to the realization ofsmart connected communities include sensing, IoTs, mobile and pervasive computing, cyberphysical-social systems, big data, machine learning, data analytics, social and cognitivecomputing. Smart computing help solve a wide variety of societal challenges related totransportation, 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 dataapplications in smart computing, data security and data traceability as well as privacy areextremely important. For example, data security such as secure computation with fully
homomorphic encryption and data traceability with both proof of storage and attribute-based
encryption become indispensable.
After successful 1st IEEE International Workshop on Big Data and IoT Security in SmartComputing (IEEE BITS2017) in Hong Kong, the 2nd workshop, IEEE BITS2018, will beheld focussing on theories and implementations on secure computing and secure datamanagement in Cloud/IoT environment. BITS is a full-day workshop that is going to beorganized in conjunction in conjunction with The 4th IEEE International Conference onSmart Computing (SMARTCOMP2018) on 18-20 June, 2018.
The topics to be addressed at BITS2018 will include, but not limited to, theoretical orpractical aspects of big data and IoT security and privacy in smart computing and cyberphysical 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, Attributebased 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 astransportation, energy, environmental, smart city, healthcare, and social media
