Call for Papers The First International Workshop on Secure Edge Networking and Applications (SENA) In Conjunction with IEEE Sixth International Conference on Blockchain Computing and Applications (IEEE BCCA 2024) 26-29 November 2024 (Dubai, UAE) https://bcca-conference.org/2024/Workshops/SENA2024.php Edge networking plays a significant role in shaping the future of Internet of Things (IoT) networks by processing high volumes of data at the network edge and meeting the desired latency demand. Although edge computing is regarded as a promising technology for these features as well as its decentralization and supportive functionalities, there is a need to develop systems to protect data security and privacy since users can face the risk of data leakage when they offload data to the edge/cloud server. Secure edge networking is continuously becoming a top strategic technology that connects the physical and blockchain-secured worlds, assisted by next-generation networks. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Twin (DT) driven secure edge-network can deliver seamless analysis, monitoring, and predictions when it is used together with next-generation mobile communications (5G/6G), Internet of Things (IoT), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Federated Learning (FL), distributed computing, and intelligent smart city applications. The workshop will invite authors to submit papers presenting new research related to all aspects of secure edge networks and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * IoT-based secure edge networking for real-time communication systems * Real-time communication protocols for secure edge networking * Resource management and network optimization for secure edge network * Secure edge networking and industrial IoT applications * Digital twin (DT)-enabled secure edge networking * Real-world Digital Twin (DT) simulations, prototypes, and testbed demonstrations for secure edge networks * Attack detections/defences for secure edge networking * Blockchain-driven secure edge networking * Energy efficient secure edge networking * Federated learning-based secure edge networking * Modeling and performance analysis of secure edge networking * Software-defined network (SDN) controlled secure edge networking * AI as a service (AIaaS) for secure edge networking * Wireless communications for cyber-physical edge network applications * New security and privacy concepts within edge network applications * LLMs in secure edge network * Trustworthy secure edge network applications * Secure edge network applications for smart cities * AI-driven applications for secure edge networks * Autonomous and context-aware secure edge networks * Self-organizing secure edge networks and applications * Sustainable AI-based secure edge network * Secure edge network design for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) applications General Chairs: * Müge Erel-Özçevik, Manisa Celal Bayar University, Turkey (muge.ozcevik@cbu.edu.tr<mailto:muge.ozcevik@cbu.edu.tr>) * Elif Bozkaya-Aras, National Defence University Turkish Naval Academy, Turkey (ebozkaya@dho.msu.edu.tr<mailto:ebozkaya@dho.msu.edu.tr>) Honorary Chair: * Berk Canberk, Edinburgh Napier University (b.canberk@napier.ac.uk<mailto:b.canberk@napier.ac.uk>) Industrial Chair: * Gökhan Yurdakul, GM of BTS Group (yurdakulg@btsgroup.com<mailto:yurdakulg@btsgroup.com>) Technical Program Chairs * Tuğçe Bilen, İstanbul Technical University (bilent@itu.edu.tr<mailto:bilent@itu.edu.tr>) * Gökhan Seçinti, İstanbul Technical University (secinti@itu.edu.tr<mailto:secinti@itu.edu.tr>) * Engin Zeydan, Centre Tecnologic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) (engin.zeydan@ieee.org<mailto:engin.zeydan@ieee.org>) * Yusuf Özçevik, Manisa Celal Bayar University (yusuf.ozcevik@cbu.edu.tr<mailto:yusuf.ozcevik@cbu.edu.tr>) * Abdullah Aydeğer, Florida Tech, (aaydeger@fit.edu<mailto:aaydeger@fit.edu>) Publicity Chairs * Kübra Duran, Edinburgh Napier University (kubra.duran@napier.ac.uk<mailto:kubra.duran@napier.ac.uk>) * Yağmur Yiğit, Edinburgh Napier University (yagmur.yigit@napier.ac.uk<mailto:yagmur.yigit@napier.ac.uk>) * Burcu Bolat, National Defence University Turkish Naval Academy, Turkey (bolat.b@dho.msu.edu.tr<mailto:bolat.b@dho.msu.edu.tr>) * Elif Ak, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey (akeli@itu.edu.tr<mailto:akeli@itu.edu.tr>) Important Dates: Submission Due: August 1, 2024 Notification: October 1, 2024 Camera Ready: October 20, 2024 Submission: Prospective authors are invited to submit a long paper (7-8 pages), short paper (5-6 pages) and poster (1-2 pages) including results, figures, and references in the standard IEEE two-column conference format.
