Technical sessions on Security and Privacy in Emerging Scenarios

2nd International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society
and Industry (RTSI 2016)

Bologna, Italy, 7-9 September 2016

***********************************************************************

RTSI 2016 is Organized by the IEEE Italy Section and Alma Mater 
Studiorum - Universita' di Bologna, Italy.
The primary purposes of the RTSI series of events are:
- to promote and to strengthen partnerships and cooperation between
academia and industry;
- to increase the public understanding and awareness of how engineering
and technology can positively affect people quality of life;
- to promote discussion between the research community and related
government bodies about effective and successful research policies;
- to disseminate recent advancements, research/technology solutions,
and novel applications;
- to discuss inter-disciplinary ideas and to promote cross-fertilizing
cooperation between researchers working in different research areas.


SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN EMERGING SCENARIOS
The recent evolution of ICT enables people to 
perform tasks and access data/services anywhere at any time, 
since people (and things) can always be connected to the Internet. 
These emerging scenarios provide unprecedented advantages
for final users, which however come at the price of novel
security and privacy risks. Today, more and more data are
stored and elaborated in the cloud (under the control of a third
party), home and personal appliances are accessible form outside
(making them more vulnerable to attacks), sensors track users'
locations and activities (and exchange data). These are only a few
examples of how emerging scenarios are changing the security and
privacy risks to which we are exposed. This technical session aims
to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in
discussing and finding solutions to the security and privacy issues
characterizing emerging scenarios.


AUTHORS INSTRUCTIONS
Prospective Authors of papers are invited to submit a draft paper
(typically 2-4 pages for the draft version, 4-6 pages for the final
paper, in standard IEEE two-column format) via EDAS by suggesting 
the related Technical Session. 
The paper should contain a complete description of the proposed
technical contribution along with some results, suitably framed
in the related state of the art. 
Each paper will be reviewed in terms of relevance
with respect to the scope of the event, originality and quality of
the technical content, overall organization and writing style. 
Papers must be prepared according to the Author’s instructions
reported on the RTSI 2016.

Submission of papers implies intention to register and present the
related content at the conference. Proceedings papers presented at
the Conference will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore
digital library.
