The 8th International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP 2018)

Melbourne, Australia, December 11-13, 2018
http://www.spaccs.org/TSP2018/


In Conjunction with SpaCCS 2018
[The 11th International Conference on Security, Privacy and Anonymity in Computation, Communication and Storage]
http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2018/spaccs/index.htm








Hosted by:

Hunan University, China
Guangzhou University, China


Technical Sponsorship:
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)


Introduction
============
TSP 2018 is a timely event that aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on trust, security, and privacy issues in social networks, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks, and other networking environments or system applications; and providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly challenging research area.


Satisfying user requirements for trust, security and privacy in an efficient way is one of the first considerations for almost all emerging applications, using emerging technologies such as pervasive computing, peer to peer computing, grid computing, cloud computing, virtualization and, mobile and wireless technologies. Challenges arise as emerging applications evolve to provide more scalable and comprehensive services. One of the biggest challenges is that traditional security technologies and measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, and distributed computing environments. Therefore, we need to build networks and systems in which emerging applications allow users to enjoy more scalable and comprehensive services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time.


Following the success of TSP 2008 in Shanghai, China during December 17-20, 2008, TSP-09 in Macau SAR, China, during October 12-14, 2009, TSP-10 in Bradford, UK, during June 29-July 1, 2010, TSP-13 in Zhangjiajie, China, during November 13-15, 2013, and TSP-15 in Zhangjiajie, China, during November 18-20, 2015,and TSP-16 in Zhangjiajie, China, during November 16-18, 2016, (TSP-17) in Guangzhou, China, during December 12-15, 2017, "The 8th International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP-18)" will be held in Melbourne, Australia, December 11-13, 2018, in conjunction with "SpaCCS 2018 [The 11th International Conference on Security, Privacy and Anonymity in Computation, Communication and Storage] http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2018/spaccs/index.htm"

Submission and Publication Information
======================================
Submission and Publication Information
The accepted papers from this workshop will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (EI indexed). Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 10 pages (or 14 pages with the over length charge), including tables, figures, references and appendixes, in Springer LNCS Format with Portable Document Format (.pdf). Please submit your paper at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tsp2018.

Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers from respective research areas.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the work at the conference. All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (EI-Indexed).
