[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 10th International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2023) San Antonio, Texas , USA. October 23-25, 2023 https://emergingtechnet.org/SDS2023/index.php (Technically Co-sponsored by IEEE and IEEE Systems Council) *SDS 2023 CFP: * Next generation cloud systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are constructed and managed. Conventional control and management platforms are facing considerable challenges regarding flexibility, dependability and security that next generation systems will require. The cloud computing paradigm has gone part of the way towards alleviating some of the problems associated with resource allocation, utilization and management (e.g., via elasticity). However, many of the elements of a well-designed cloud environment remain “stiff” and hard to modify and adapt in an integrated fashion. This includes underlying networking topologies, many aspects of the user control over IaaS, PaaS or SaaS layers when such is needed, construction of XaaS services, provenance and meta-data collection, and so on. In many situations the problem may be because service abstraction is inadequate. Software Defined Systems (SDS) are systems that have added software components which help abstract actual IT equipment and other layers. One classical example, of course, are hypervisors. Such separation provides a great opportunity for system administrators to more easily construct and managing their systems through flexible software layers. Software Defined Systems include Software Defined Networking (SDN), Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Servers (Virtualization), Software Defined Datacenters (SDD), Software Defined Security (SDSec), and ultimately Software Defined Clouds (SDCloud) to name a few possibilities. Individual solutions and seamless integration of these abstractions remains in many respects a challenge. SDS aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of Software Defined Systems. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigating SDS challenges. That is, the objective of SDS is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Software Defined Systems. SDS is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to: * Software Defined Systems support for Cloud Computing . * Software Defined Networking (SDN). * SDN concepts, architecture, and APIs. * Network Virtualization * SDN and OpenFlow protocol * Software Defined Radio * Cognitive Radio Networks . * Access Control models in SDN. * Software Defined Storage. * Software Defined Real Time Functions for Automation. * Storage Automation and Abstraction. * Policy-driven storage provisioning. * Software Defined Servers and Virtualization. * Software Defined Datacenters. * Software Defined Security o Security policies automation. * Self-management systems. * Autonomic Computing techniques. * Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction. * Software Defined Systems Scalability. * Software Defined Systems optimization. * Software tools and frameworks to support SDS . * Software Defined Systems challenges and opportunities * Software Defined Systems surveys . * Social engineering, insider threats system for SDS. * Incident Handling and Penetration Testing with SDS. * Software Defined Systems support if IoT. * Security protocols in SDS. * Security and privacy of mobile SDS based cloud computing * Service-oriented architectures, service portability andP2P * Network virtualization and cloud-based radio access networks *Submission Guidelines: * Papers selected for presentation will appear in the SDS Proceedings and will be submitted to IEEE for inclusion.

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The IEEE Eighth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2023) emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2022/index.php <http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2023/index.php> Tartu, Estonia. September 18-20, 2023 Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Estonia Section *FMEC 2023 CFP:* Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). FMEC 2023 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigate Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2023 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC).

12 Jul '23

Call for papers: 2023 International Conference on Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW 2023), 17-21 Dec. 2023, Melbourne, Australia. Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2023/dikw/ Key dates: Submission Deadline: August 25, 2023 Notification: October 15, 2023 Final Manuscript Due: October 30, 2023 Submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2023/dikw/submission.htm Publication: Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press. Distinguished papers will be invited to special issues of selected journals listed on the conference website. =========== Introduction Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom, in short (DIKW), have been used widely as marking terms in various domains for expressing and exchanging semantic or conceptual subjective or objective understandings. However, there are still no unified understandings over the meaning of the DIKW concepts. Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom as a whole concept of DIKW is also missing unified understandings of the relationships among them. Therefore, there have been proposals and models of DIKW as “layered hierarchy”, “architecture”, “framework”, “network”, “thinking mode”, “pattern”, “style”, “theory”, “methodology”, “model”, “graph”, etc. 2023 International Conference on Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW 2023) aims to bring together scientists, researchers, and industrial engineers to exchange experimental and theoretical Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom modeling and processing results, novel designs, explainable AI, AI governance, work-in-progress and case studies on theories, design mechanisms and extensions on DIKW transformations and interactions in all areas, in all phases, empirical or theoretical solutions. Scope and Topics Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Theories, Algorithms and Platforms for Data Analytics and Information Retrieving - Data Provenance, Cleaning, Curation and Governance Services - Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom Sharing, Integration and Migration - Real-time Data Modeling and Information Provision Services and Applications - Data-driven Intelligent Decision-making and Innovative Applications - Goal or Purpose Models, Techniques and Tools for Smart Computing - Data Models, Information Semantics, Query languages - Data Stream Systems and Sensor Networks - Data Visualization and Interactive Data Exploration - Hybrid AI Privacy, Security, Trust, and Responsibility Provision - Data-Knowledge Mixed Processing Systems and Service Architecture - Domain Knowledge Modeling and Ontology-Building - Data, Information and Knowledge Transformation Load balance - DIKW content Storage and Retrieval and Interface Technology - Software Tools for Data-Information-Knowledge Quality Modeling and Testing - Computational Intelligence for Data, Information and Knowledge Hybrid Systems - Multimedia and Cross-modals "Databases" Processing - Development and Management of Heterogeneous Knowledge Bases - Knowledge Extraction, Discovery, Analysis and Representation - Application of Knowledge Representation Techniques to Semantic Modeling - Optimization Techniques of DIKW applications - Theories of DIKW Models and Performance Evaluation Approach Submission Guidelines Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference, including tables and figures in IEEE CS format.

As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems oftentend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running. Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems and applications has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, corruption, anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on. Scope and Topics Track 1: Dependability and Security Fundamentals and Technologies - Concepts, theory, and methodologies - Dependability of sensor, networks - Dependability issues in cloud/fog/edge - Security and privacy - Security/privacy in cloud/fog/edge - Artificial intelligence - Big data foundation and management - Dependable IoT supporting technologies Track 2 : Dependable and Secure Systems - Dependable sensor systems - Dependability issues in distributed systems - Cyber-physical systems - Database and transaction processing systems - Safety and security in distributed systems - Dependability in automotive systems - Dependability in big data systems - Software system security - Blockchain-based systems Track 3: Dependable and Secure Applications - Sensor and robot applications - Big data applications - Cloud/fog/edge applications - Safety care, medical care and services - Aerospace, transportation applications - Energy, smart city, smart grid - IoT, CPS and industrial application Track 4 : Dependability and Security Measures and Assessments - Metrics and measures for safety, trust, faith - Levels and assessment criteria and authority - Dependability measurement, modeling - Dependability evaluation - Software reliability and verification - Hardware reliability and verification - Evaluations and tools Submission Guidelines Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference, including tables and figures in IEEE CS format.
