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.

[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 *Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings* Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 8 pages (including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines may be rejected without review. Also submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered.
