[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 2nd International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models (FLLM2024) 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. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further information or clarification. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the FLLM Proceeding, and be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion. Submitted papers must include original work, and must not be under consideration for another conference or journal. Submission of regular papers up to 8 pages and must follow the IEEE paper format. Please include up to 7 keywords, complete postal and email address, and fax and phone numbers of the corresponding author. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference. Submitted papers that are deemed of good quality but that could not be accepted as regular papers will be accepted as short papers. *Important Dates:* - *Paper submission deadline: June 30, 2024* - Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2024 - Camera-ready Submission: October 10, 2024 *Contact:* Please send any inquiry on FLLM to: <emergingtechnetwork(a)gmail.com> info(a)fllm-conference.org

CFP: The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024)
by wx Ding 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this UbiSec 2024 Preliminary Call for Papers (CFPs) with Deadline (July 15, 2024). ============================== UbiSec 2024===================== Call for Papers (CFPs) of The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024 Organizer: Central South University, China http://ubisecurity.org/2024/ ============================================================== Welcome to participate in UbiSec 2024, Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024! Changsha is a famous historical and cultural city with a variety of interest. This city has been an important grain production base in China since ancient times. The green and verdant Mt. Yuelu stands in the city and Xiangjiang River is clear as a mirror passing through the city. Orange Isle lies in the heart of the river. In particular, Changsha is very close to Chairman Mao's former residence within one-hour driving. Nowadays, being an intellectual center, Changsha has over 100 research institutions and engineering laboratories. Hybrid rice breeding and the Tianhe supercomputer are the main scientific research achievements. The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) stems from three conference/symposium/workshop series: (1) The well-established SpaCCS conference series with Springer LNCS: UbiSec is inspired by the SpaCCS style of three tracks (Security, Privacy, and Anonymity, "Spa" for short), which covers "Big Security" leveraging computation, communication and storage ("CCS" for short) systems and networks. UbiSec extends this style with three new tracks: Cyberspace Security, Cyberspace Privacy, and Cyberspace Anonymity. (2) The UbiSafe symposium series: UbiSec follows the UbiSafe vision on "Ubiquitous Safety", also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SAFE" (pronounced "UbiSafe"). UbiSec extends this vision to "Ubiquitous Security", using "Big Security" to embrace NOT ONLY security, privacy and anonymity, BUT ALSO safety, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness and more, also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SEC(ure)" (pronounced "UbiSec"). (3) The IWCSS workshop series: UbiSec follows the IWCSS theme on "Cyberspace Security", with "Cyberspace" as the 5th national sovereign space besides the traditional four domains of land, sea, air, and aerospace. UbiSec extends this theme to "Ubiquitous Security", meaning that cyberspace will be secure, physical world will be secure, social networking systems will be secure, and thus "YOU (will) BE SECure"! The UbiSec 2024 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the fourth event in the series of conferences/symposia/workshops which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in cyberspace, physical world, and social networks. The Conference covers many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for cyberspace, physical world, and social networking systems. As applications of computer and information technology have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The Conference will provide a forum for world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging research fields. UbiSec 2024 follows the UbiSec 2023 conference in Exeter, UbiSec 2022 conference in Zhangjiajie and the UbiSec 2021 in Guangzhou, and also the traditions of previous successful SpaCCS/UbiSafe/IWCSS conference/symposium/workshop series, held in Nanjing, China (SpaCCS 2020/UbiSafe 2020), Guangzhou,China (IWCSS 2020); Altanta, USA (SpaCCS 2019/UbiSafe 2019), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2019); Melbourne, Australia (SpaCCS 2018/UbiSafe 2018), Guangzhou China (IWCSS 2018); Guangzhou, China (SpaCCS 2017/UbiSafe 2017/IWCSS 2017); Zhangjiajie, China (SpaCCS 2016/UbiSafe 2016); Helsinki, Finland (UbiSafe 2015); Beijing, China (UbiSafe 2014); Melbourne, Australia (UbiSafe 2013); Liverpool, UK (UbiSafe 2012); Changsha, China (UbiSafe 2011); Chengdu China (UbiSafe 2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (UbiSafe 2007). The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research fields of security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and networks. The conference will focus on broad areas of architectures, algorithms, techniques, and applications for cyberspace security, cyberspace privacy, and cyberspace anonymity.
