EAI PFSM 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference (with an on-site possibility).
If the local situation allows it, the event will take place on-site in its original location with an option for all authors to present remotely.
In any case, all matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged.

EAI PFSM 2021 is co-located to SmartCity360° 2021 Convention.

Scope

PFSM – This international conference on Privacy and Forensics in Smart Mobility (PFSM) provides an excellent discussion platform for the state-of-the-art work in the areas of privacy-preserving and digital forensics for the emerging smart mobility systems and the wider Smart Cities. The purpose of this special conference programme is to highlight the cutting-edge technologies to help build privacy-aware, secure, safe and resilient smart mobility systems for smart cities. It aims to promote scientific work on the topics suggested by the conference and encourage collaboration amongst researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. It also encourages participation from members of existing associations, professionals in general, including government departments and agencies.
