Internet has become essential for the exchange of information between user groups and organizations from different backgrounds and with different needs and objectives. These users are exposed to increasing risks regarding security and privacy, due to the development of more and more sophisticated online attacks, the growth of Cyber Crime, etc. Attackers nowadays do not lack motivation and they are more and more experienced. To make matters worse, for performing attacks have become easily accessible. Moreover, the increasing complexity as well as the immaturity of new technologies such as pervasive, mobile and wireless devices and networks, raise new security challenges. In this context, new security mechanisms and techniques should be deployed to achieve an assurance level acceptable for critical domains such as energy, transportation, health, defence, banking, critical infrastructures, embedded systems and networks, avionics systems, etc. The CRiSIS conference offers a remarkable forum for computer and network security actors from industry, academia and government to meet, exchange ideas and present recent advances on Internet-related security threats and vulnerabilities, and on the solutions that are needed to counter them. === IMPORTANT DATES === - Submission deadline: June 21, 2019 (Extended) - Notification to authors: July 20, 2019 - Camera-ready versions: September 22, 2019 - Conference dates: October 29-31, 2019 === SPECIAL ISSUE === Selected papers relevant to business, human and organisational aspects of cybersecurity will be invited to submit extended versions for publication in Information and Computer Security Journal http://emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/journals.htm?id=ics === TOPICS === The topics addressed by CRiSIS range from the analysis of risks, attacks to networks and system survivability, to security models, security mechanisms and privacy enhancing technologies. The authors are invited to submit research results as well as practical experiment or deployment reports. Industrial papers about applications or case studies are also welcomed in different domains (e.g., telemedicine, banking, e-government, e-learning, e-commerce, critical infrastructures, mobile networks, embedded applications, etc.).

by IMSS 2019 25 May '19

25 May '19

9-11 September 2019 Sakarya / Turkey Dear Colleague, On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to announce that the 10th International Symposium on Intelligent Manufacturing and Service Systems (IMSS'19) will be held in Sakarya, Turkey during September 9-11, 2019. We would like to inform you that the deadline for abstract submission has been extended to May 30, 2019. For detailed information please visit our website. IMSS is a global knowledge-enriched collaborative effort that has its roots from both academia and industry. The symposium covers a wide spectrum of topics that relate to information society, which includes technical and non-technical research areas including manufacturing, production systems, healthcare, defense, energy and water management, transportation, smart cities, digital government and digital nations, digital transformation. The mission of IMSS symposium is to provide opportunities for collaboration of professionals and researchers to share existing and generate new knowledge in the field of information society. The symposium encapsulates the concept of interdisciplinary science that studies the societal and technological dimensions of knowledge evolution in digital society. IMSS bridges the gap between academia and industry with regards to research collaboration and awareness of current development in secure information management in the digital society. IMSS 2019 themes are Industry 4.0/5.0: Future Mind, Future Society, Postindustrial Society and Our Posthuman Future. There will be held panel discussions in current topics including critics of artificial intelligence and robotics, homo sapiens, and homo deus. You are kindly invited to participate and take advantage of the opportunity to present your unpublished abstracts or/and full-length scientific papers. The official language of the conference is English. Conference details and updates will also be posted in due course on the conference website www.imss.sakarya.edu.tr.

It aims at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between the two domains will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2019, significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on methodology.
