For over 25 years, CRS4 has focused on digital technologies applied to biosciences, energy, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, human interactions, etc. More recently, these research efforts have been focused on the development of technological projects for the smart city of Cagliari, trying to take into account the complexity deriving from applying digital technologies to the typical processes of a medium-size, ancient, Italian city, located in an island just in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. The next challenge is to extend this approach to the entire island of Sardinia, trying to make a successful matching between technology and socio-economical aspects of the territory. We are also excited to welcome and introduce engineers Niccolò Elia Sovico & Sergio Pedolazzi for their closing ceremony keynote "Crowdsourcing Sustainable Places." They believe that all of us should be able to get involved in making sustainability projects happen – so they launched ENER2CROWD, the first Italian lending crowdfunding platform for energy saving and renewable energy projects. Come hear about how this innovative startup plans to disrupt the sustainability landscape. "Italian Day" – Smart Energy Communitie Looking to practice your Italian? Don't miss the "Italian Day" session on Friday 7th June dedicated to Smart Energy Communities focusing on innovative technologies and smartening of the grid in Italy. The participation of over 100 local area professionals and public stakeholders is expected. Workshop Highlight [ ]( http://2tuoh.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/cUyUHdnSau0r0YnBlHZye7-aKe31wCfdAL5… ) Targeting Urban Planners, Architects, Contractors and other built environment stakeholders, this workshop will provide a holistic and thought-provoking view on how nature based solutions are increasingly a part of sustainable places and the tools and methods to maximize the impact of their implementation.

Despite having access to renewable sources of energy, such as wind and wave energy, many of them depend on expensive fossil fuel imports for their energy supply. SP19 will feature a session dedicated to financing clean energy transition in EU islands chaired by Margot Pinault (European Commission, DG Energy, unit C3). The workshop will include a presentation by Brendan Devlin (European Commission, DG Energy, Directorate B) of the ‘Clean energy for EU islands’ initiative which provides a long term framework to help islands generate their own sustainable, low-cost energy. Feilim O’Connor (European Commission DG Energy, Unit C2) will introduce an overview of H2020 islands-related calls for proposals. Practical examples of available funding and past-supported projects in EU islands will be highlighted by the European Investment Bank (Reinhard Six) and SINLOC (Andrea Martinez). The INNOVATE H2020 Project and its one-stop-shop service on buildings renovation being deployed in Cyprus will be presented and discussed (Panayiotis Michael, NTUA & Aradippou Municipality). Pioneering and innovative sustainable islands: case studies and projects SP19 will also offer further insights on how European islands can lead the energy transition from a technological and organizational perspective. This will include presentations of the Smart Island Initiative (DAFNI Network, Kostas Komninos), the actual implementation of smart energy management concepts in Sardinia (Prof. Alfonso Damiano, University of Cagliari & Sardegna Ricerche), as well as innovative technologies and demonstration cases from the H2020 projects REACT (R2M Solution), INSULAE (DAFNI) and SMILE (RINA-C). Keynote Highlight We are proud to welcome Dr. Karim Selouane, the Founder and CEO of Resallience as a keynote speaker at Sustainable Places. Created via Vinci’s LEONARD Innovation and Foresight Platform, Resallience is a design office dedicated to adapting cities, territories, infrastructures and their use to climate change – a risk all stakeholders must now address. Dr. Selouane experiences span academia, industry and support to policy makers regarding strategies for the management of climate risks to territories, cities and projects. He is active in UNHabitat and topic related working groups at the European Commission. He will be speaking on the tools and methodologies available today that lead to improved design, site selection and operations of infrastructures to increase the resilience of our cities and the infrastructures that support them.

ARES 2019 - CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPER ****************************************************************************************** The 14th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2019) August 26 - August 29, 2019, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK http://www.ares-conference.eu ****************************************************************************************** *********** Workshops @ ARES CONFERENCE ************ The 14th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of dependability. ARES will highlight the various aspects of dependability with special focus on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability and security. The workshops are central events for ARES as they provide an essential platform for researchers of various domains to present and discuss their current work and discuss work in progress. This year we can offer the conference attendees 15 workshops which range from "start-ups" to well-established ones. Workshops @ ARES 2019 and their submission deadlines: *2nd International Workshop on Behavioral Authentication for System Security (BASS 2019) / 30.04.2019 *The Third International Workshop on Criminal Use of Information Hiding (CUING 2019) / 10.05.2019 *2nd International Workshop on Cyber Threat Intelligence Management (CyberTIM 2019) / 10.05.2019 *The 14th International Workshop on Frontiers in Availability, Reliability and Security (FARES 2019) / 10.05.2019 *The 3rd International Workshop on Security and Forensics of IoT (IoT-SECFOR 2019) /10.05.2019 *2nd Interdisciplinary Workshop on Privacy and Trust (iPAT 2019) / 30.04.2019 *8th International Workshop on Cyber Crime (IWCC 2019) / 10.05.2019 *2nd International Workshop on Security Engineering for Cloud Computing (IWSECC 2019) / 30.04.2019 *International Workshop on Security of Mobile Applications (IWSMA 2019) / 09.04.2019 *1st International Workshop on Information Security Methodology and Replication Studies (IWSMR 2019) / 10.05.2019 *The First Location Privacy Workshop (LPW 2019) / 30.04.2019 *The 6th International Workshop on Software Assurance (SAW 2019) / 05.05.2019 *The 4th International Workshop on Secure Software Engineering (SSE 2019) / 06.05.2019 *International Workshop on Cyber Threat Intelligence (WCTI 2019) / 10.05.2019 *Workshop on Industrial Security and IoT (WISI 2019) / 10.05.2019 *The 12th International Workshop on Digital Forensics (WSDF 2019) / 10.05.2019 Workshop @CD-MAKE 2019 and its submission deadline: *MAKE-Explainable AI Workshop (MAKE - EXAI) / April 22, 2019 These workshops are organized each on specific topics and thus offer researchers the opportunity to learn from a rich multi-disciplinary experience. *********** EU Projects Symposium @ ARES CONFERENCE ************ Based on the success of the ARES EU Projects Symposiums 2015-2018 we cordially invite EU project partners to organize a workshop at the ARES EU Projects Symposium 2019.

Authors of selected papers that are accepted by and presented at the ARES Conference (including workshops) will be invited to submit an extended version to special issues of international journals. Authors are invited to submit research and application papers according the following guidelines: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 pt fonts and number each page. For the workshops submission papers are have to be representing original, previously unpublished work: 8 pages, a maximum of 10 pages is tolerated Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation and clarity of exposition. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. ARES, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. Double blind review: ARES requires anonymized submissions - please make sure that submitted papers contain no author names or obvious self-references.
