CALL FOR PAPERS

The First International Workshop on Security, Privacy, and Trustworthiness in Medical Cyber Physical System (MedSPT 2016), organized in conjunction with  IEEE Conference on Connected Health: Applications, Systems and Engineering Technologies (CHASE 2016)
MedSPT: http://faculty.umb.edu/xiaohui.liang/MedSPT16/

===============================================================

Medical Cyber Physical Systems (MCPS) are life-critical, context-aware, and networked systems of medical devices that provide tight integration and coordination between the cyber world of computing and communications and the physical world. Recent advances in mobile and wearable healthcare, communication, and Cloud computing technologies are making MCPS a promising platform for scientific advancement and development of new tools that may improve patients’ health and wellbeing. Coming along with the potential social economic and personal healthcare benefits are significant security, privacy, and trustworthiness challenges in MCPS, due to unreliable embedded software controlling medical devices, weak computing and networking capabilities of medical devices, and adaptive privacy requirements introduced by complicated physiological dynamics of patient bodies. So far, the security, privacy, and trustworthiness initiatives for MCPS are still at an early stage. On one hand, more and more concerns have been raised in the fields and many security, privacy, and trustworthiness-enhancing techniques have been proposed to resolve these concerns. On the other hand, the emerging mobile and wearable technologies revolutionize the entire MCPS as well as its models of security, privacy, and trustworthiness. It is still not clear that these proposed techniques are useful and effective in practice and how quickly or even possibly they are going to be adopted.
This workshop aims to bring together the technologists and researchers who share interest in the area of security, privacy and trustworthiness in medical cyber physical systems, as well as explore new venues of collaboration. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of secure, privacy, or trustworthiness architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications on medical cyber physical systems. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental research, and work in-progress for security, privacy and trustworthiness related issues in the context of medical cyber physical system.
Topics of Interest

  *   Security in Virtualized Health Systems
  *   Security Risk Assessment
  *   Security and Privacy Policies in Health Systems
  *   Security in Electronic Health Record Systems
Instructions for Authors
Submitted papers must be neither previously published nor under review by another workshop, conference or journal. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submitted papers must be written in English, must be formatted in a standard IEEE camera ready format, must be no longer than 8 pages in 10-point font ($100 for the extra 8th page), must render without error using standard PDF viewing tools, must print on US-Letter-sized paper, and must include the author names and affiliations on the first page. Note that at least one of the authors of each paper accepted for presentation in MedSPT 2016 must be registered. All papers presented at the workshop will be published in formal workshop proceedings and will be part of the IEEE Digital Library. Please submit your paper to the EDAS system https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21967.

Review and Publication of Manuscripts
Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation and the comments will be provided to the authors. If any accepted paper is not registered, the paper will be removed from the workshop program and the proceedings.
