[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 2nd International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models (FLLM2024) Hybrid Event https://fllm2024.fllm-conference.org/index.php 26-29 November, 2024 | Dubai, UAE Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE UAE Section *FLLM 2024 CFP:* With the emergence of foundation models (FMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) that are trained on large amounts of data at scale and adaptable to a wide range of downstream applications, Artificial intelligence is experiencing a paradigm revolution. BERT, T5, ChatGPT, GPT-4, Falcon 180B, Codex, DALL-E, Whisper, and CLIP are now the foundation for new applications ranging from computer vision to protein sequence study and from speech recognition to coding. Earlier models had a reputation of starting from scratch with each new challenge. The capacity to experiment with, examine, and comprehend the capabilities and potentials of next-generation FMs is critical to undertaking this research and guiding its path. Nevertheless, these models are currently inaccessible as the resources required to train these models are highly concentrated in industry, and even the assets (data, code) required to replicate their training are frequently not released due to their demand in the real-time industry. At the moment, mostly large tech companies such as OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and Baidu can afford to construct FMs and LLMS. Despite the expected widely publicized use of FMs and LLMS, we still lack a comprehensive knowledge of how they operate, why they underperform, and what they are even capable of because of their emerging global qualities. To deal with these problems, we believe that much critical research on FMs and LLMS would necessitate extensive multidisciplinary collaboration, given their essentially social and technical structure. The International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models (FLLM) addresses the architectures, applications, challenges, approaches, and future directions. We invite the submission of original papers on all topics related to FLLMs, with special interest in but not limited to: - *Architectures and Systems* - Transformers and Attention - Bidirectional Encoding - Autoregressive Models - Massive GPU Systems - Prompt Engineering - Multimodal LLMs - Fine-tuning - *Challenges* - Hallucination - Cost of Creation and Training - Energy and Sustainability Issues - Integration - Safety and Trustworthiness - Interpretability - Fairness - Social Impact - * Future Directions* - Generative AI - Explainability and EXplainable AI - Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) - Federated Learning for FLLM - Large Language Models Fine-Tuning on Graphs - Data Augmentation - * Natural Language Processing Applications* - Generation - Summarization - Rewrite - Search - Question Answering - Language Comprehension and Complex Reasoning - Clustering and Classification - * Applications* - Natural Language Processing - Communication Systems - Security and Privacy - Image Processing and Computer Vision - Life Sciences - Financial Systems *Joint Workshops:* *The International Workshop on Large Language Models Applications in Medical Informatics (LLMs4MI2024) <https://dbis.rwth-aachen.de/LLMs4MI2024/>* *The International Workshop on Advances of GenAI in Software Engineering (GenAISE 2024) <https://fllm2024.fllm-conference.org/Workshops/GenAISE2024/>* *The International Workshop on Large Language Models for Cybersecurity (LLMCS 2024) <https://fllm2024.fllm-conference.org/Workshops/LLMCS2024/>* *The International Workshop on Prompt Engineering Large Language Models (PromptEng 2024) <https://fllm2024.fllm-conference.org/Workshops/PromptEng2024/>* *The International Workshop on Generative AI for Textual Document Analysis (GENAIDOC 2024) <https://sites.google.com/view/genaidoc-workshop-fllm-2024/home>* *The International Workshop on Sustainable AI for Natural Language Processing (SusAI 2024) <https://fllm2024.fllm-conference.org/Workshops/SusAI2024/>* *Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings* Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format.

September 2-5, 2024 Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Sweden Section *FMEC 2024 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.

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The Fourth Intelligent Cybersecurity Conference (ICSC2024) Hybrid Event https://www.icsc-conference.org/2024/ 17–20 September, 2024 | Valencia, Spain. Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Spain Section *ICSC 2024 CFP:* In today’s world, connected systems, social networks, and mobile communications create a massive flow of data, which is prone to cyberattacks. This needs fast and accurate detection of cyber-attacks. Intelligent systems and Data analytics are important components when issues pertaining to effective security solutions become the subject of discussion. This is because there is an impending need for high volume and high velocity data from different sources to detect anomalies as soon as they are discovered. This will help reduce significantly the vulnerability of the systems as well as improve their resilience to cyber Attacks. The capability to process large volumes of information at real time through utilization of tools for data analytics has many advantages vital for analysis of cybersecurity systems. Moreover, the data collected from sophisticated intelligent systems, cloud systems, networks, sensors, computers, intrusion detection systems could be used to identify vital information. This information could be used to detect how vulnerable the systems are to risk factors, and so effective cyber security solutions can be developed. In addition to that, the utilization of data analytics tools in the cybersecurity field gives new insights through considering factors such as zero-day attack detection, real time analysis, resource constrained data processing among others. The Intelligent Cybersecurity Conference (ICSC) addresses the use of advanced intelligent systems in providing cybersecurity solutions in many fields, and the challenges, approaches, and future directions.
