[Om-announce] Inaugural ISOC Symposium on Vehicle Security & Privacy, VehicleSec, co-located with NDSS'23: Submission Due in 2 Months, *Jan 3*

[Berkay Celik]

Dear Colleagues,

I want to gently bring to your attention the upcoming submission deadline
for the Inaugural ISOC Symposium on Vehicle Security and Privacy
(VehicleSec’23), due in ~2 months (Jan 3).
VehicleSec will be co-located with NDSS,  one of the "big 4" top-tier
computer security conferences.
Consistent with NDSS, the 2023 event will still be in a hybrid format to
accommodate those who cannot easily travel.

The creation of this new symposium builds upon the continuous 4-year growth
of the AutoSec (Automotive and Autonomous Vehicle Security)

Workshop with NDSS, which strongly encourages us to make this event more
formal and stable to better serve the community. The scope of this event
has been extended accordingly to include any security/privacy issues
related to vehicles
 (e.g., ground, aerial, underwater), their sub-systems
 (e.g., in-vehicle networks, autonomy, connectivity, human-machine
interfaces),  supporting infrastructures
 (e.g., transportation infrastructure, ground control station), and related
 fundamental technologies
 (e.g., sensing, control, AI/ML, real-time computing, location service,
simulation, digital twin, etc.).

 Like previous AutoSec events, we solicit not only regular papers (6-8
pages),  but also short/work-in-progress papers (4 pages),  and
demos/posters (1 page).
 The 4-page work-in-progress ones are great for initial ideas to solicit
feedback from the top-tier security community. The 1-page demos/posters are
great for published works to gain more publicity in the community.


Several quick highlights of this submission opportunity:

- Topic: Any security/privacy issues that can be related to vehicles (no
matter ground, aerial, underwater, or other domains).

- Solicit (1) regular papers of 6-8 pages, (2) short position papers or
work-in-progress (WIP) papers of up to 4 pages, and (3) demo/poster papers
of up to 1 page. All exclude bibliography and well-marked appendices.

- All accepted papers and demos/posters will be considered for Best Paper
and Demo/Poster Awards. The winner and runner-up will win cash prizes.

- A special AutoDriving Security Award will be given to one of the accepted
papers to recognize and reward research that makes substantial
contributions to secure today’s emerging autonomous driving technology.
Like previous AutoSec events, this award will also come with cash prizes.

- Will provide Student Travel Grants for students to attend the symposium
in person.

- Will host a Community Reception as a community social event on the night
of the symposium (Feb 27, 2023).

We look forward to your new papers/demos/posters contributions to this
brand-new symposium!

On behalf of the entire VehicleSec organizing committee.
Thank you,

-Berkay
