IEEE GLOBECOM 2021 Workshop
Securing Next-Generation Connected Healthcare Systems using Futuristic Technologies
7-11 December 2021 (Madrid, Spain)
(https://globecom2021.ieee-globecom.org/)
Scope and topics of the workshop:
Recent advancements in computing and communication technologies have enabled the development of connected healthcare systems that depend primarily on IoT and Edge technologies. However, the security and privacy of next-generation smart healthcare systems are of major concern, in order to provide an efficient rollout of connected healthcare. Futuristic technologies like Blockchain and Machine Learning (ML) are pioneering system security solutions and can provide significant support for healthcare systems. In this context, this workshop will concentrate on the crucial aspects of IoT security in connected healthcare environments, which will not only benefit from cutting-edge methodological approaches but also assist in the rapid scalability and improvement of these systems. It also aims to use blockchain technology for communication and data security, as well as trust management, in a smart city IoT environment. The aim of this workshop is to bring together developers, academics, and professionals interested in IoT/edge security and privacy developments and applications for the advancement of connected healthcare systems.
