Scope

Modern society over the course of the past two decades developed an increasing dependency on their infrastructures in general, and on the availability and correct functionality of their IT systems in particular. Nowadays, all kinds of IT systems, from industrial control systems to nationwide sensor networks, from high-traffic business platforms to e-health applications, are connected to the Internet and thus directly connected to each other. Such highly connected IT systems exhibit their very own peculiarities and need to be studied accordingly.

In this context, SHCIS 2017 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners active in the field of highly connected IT systems, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects. The focus of the workshop is on diffusion of early and on-going work, with large room being devoted to presentations of PhD students active in this field, as well as of large scale national and international research projects. The workshop is the 4th event after previous SHCIS workshops in 2014 (co-located with TrustBus), 2015 (co-located with ESORICS) and 2016 (Dagstuhl workshop). It is organized by the Bavarian Research Alliance FORSEC (https://www.bayforsec.de).

Suggested topics should be closely related to highly-connected IT-systems and include, but are not limited to:

  • Secure distributed architectures
  • Secure mobile architectures
  • Secure embedded systems
  • Security in sensor networks
  • Secure cloud computing
  • Code obfuscation
  • Security economics
  • Identity and access management
  • Privacy
  • Online trust in large-scale systems
  • Human factors in security and privacy
  • Digital forensics
  • Security through virtualization, security in virtualized environments
  • Security in mobile computing
  • Detection of security related anomalies

Relevant application areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Virtualization platforms
  • Smart grids, smart cities
  • Social networks
  • Big data applications
  • Cloud services
  • Business applications
  • Transport and logistics
  • E-Commerce

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to publish original and unpublished research that is not currently in a review process for other workshops, conferences or journals. The focus of the workshop is on diffusion of early and ongoing work of bleeding-edge ideas with the community. Large room will be devoted to presentations of PhD students active in this field and large scale national and international research projects. Papers must be in English in two-column format. Camera ready versions of the accepted papers must not exceed a length of 6 pages. At least one of the authors has to be attending the workshop to present the paper. Submission will be handled electronically through EasyChair.
