CFP Extension - AI-Driven Cyber Security Threats to Future Networks Special Issue - IEEE VT Magazine (IF 6.145)

Extended submission deadline (final): January 6th, 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Issue on AI-Driven Cyber Security Threats to Future Networks - IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (Impact Factor: 6.145) 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) networks will support a variety of services and verticals (enhanced mobile broadband, health, industry 4.0, smart energy and automotive). These services, verticals and the critical components that compose 5G architecture (e.g., radio access, edge and core networks) face new cyber security risks and challenges. A new generation of smart threats defined as Artificial Intelligence (AI)-attacks has emerged. These threats can utilize AI to attack 5G networks or services or hack the AI algorithms used by 5G components. In the first case, AI can be utilized to launch attacks against targets such as autonomous vehicles, drones or manufacturing machinery. In the second case, attackers hack the Machine Learning (ML) algorithms by modifying for instance the labels of ML's classification functions and altering the training data, which cause a decrease on the accuracy classification rate. These threats require a new era of cyber security approaches based on robust AI algorithms to protect future networks from AI-related attacks. Future solutions must consider 5G and B5G network constraints (e.g. overhead, latency, energy and bandwidth consumption). In this special issue, we invite high-quality original submissions on AI-based solutions for cyber security in 5G and B5G networks. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - AI-attacks against 5G and B5G networks. - AI modeling for network behavior in 5G and B5G networks. - Attacks detection and prediction based on deep and reinforcement learning in 5G and B5G networks. - Cyber protection based on advanced learning to secure 5G and B5G networks. - Cyber threats intelligence based on AI to secure 5G and B5G networks. - AI-cyber security approaches in virtualized environments. - Cyber security games to protect 5G and B5G services. - Lightweight AI-based cyber security to protect low-resources 5G and B5G services and devices (e.g. IoT devices). - AI-cyber defense for 5G and B5G-based vertical applications. Submitted papers should contain state-of-the-art research or technical material presented in a tutorial or survey style. All manuscripts must adhere to the IEEE VTM guidelines at http://www.ieeevtc.org/vtmagazine/submission.php.

CFP- 6G Technologies and Applications Special Issue - IEEE VT Magazine (IF 6.145)

CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Issue on 6G Technologies and Applications - IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (Impact Factor: 6.145) Submission deadline: December 20th, 2019 5G networks have made a significant step towards developing a low latency tactile access network and open new opportunities for innovative automation of network resources and operations. As we progress on the deployment of 5G, work has already started to define what 6G networks should be. First ideas were presented in the recent 6G special issue published in VTM (September 2019). Building on the success of this issue and the IEEE Future Networks 5G Series, this new 6G series will lay down the concepts, basic functionalities, supported services and break-through technologies for 6G networks. The next generation of communications networks will resemble the nervous system to create new smart infrastructures that feature proactive, secure and adaptive paradigms. With the increase of large autonomy of systems, the protection of 'nervous system' against malicious attacks becomes significantly important. Moreover, the system autonomy and the large number of distributed sensor systems demand the simultaneous integration of new energy harvesting concepts. The move to machine-type communication demands radically separation of service processing and probably higher strict KPIs. These technologies and challenges will be considered within the context of 6G networks. This series is sponsored by the IEEE Future Networks initiative and is aimed at helping the research and industrial communities define and shape the architecture, technologies and services for 6G networks. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not currently under consideration by any other publications or conferences. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - 6G Dimensions and KPI requirements - Methods and technologies to harness new spectrum - AI/ML assisted PHY and networking - MU-MIMO and new antenna technologies - New medium access technologies - 6G networks and solutions including 6G-U and private networks - New core network entities and interfaces - Network assurance and service provisioning - Cloudification, bigdata, orchestration, multi-access edge computing and IoT - Cyber security and encrypted connectivity - Wireless Networking using the optical spectrum - LiFi, visible light communications (VLC), optical camera communication (OCC) and free-space optical (FSO) communications - Quantum communications - Terahertz communications - Wireless harvesting technologies and energy efficiency - 6G-enabled vertical applications and services Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to 6G and how they would progress beyond current 5G technologies. Submitted papers should contain state-of-the-art research or technical material presented in a tutorial or survey style.
