*** The Symposium ***

This year the 7th SPIoT will be held in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Security, Privacy and Anonymity in Computation, Communication and Storage (SpaCCS 2018) in Melbourne, Australia, on Dec. 11-13, 2018.

The Internet of Things (IoT) regarded by most as Internet’s next evolutionary phase, can be perceived as a global network that brings together physical objects with sensing, actuating, and communicating capabilities. The goal is to connect devices that are able to self-configure and self-adapt to contextual changes through collaboration, instead of expecting direct human input. Nevertheless, this seamless integration of the cyber capabilities of the corresponding devices with the physical world, is poised to take the threats against this technology to the next level. In this context, every threat against IoT may constitute a threat against the physical assets of systems and such threats may be even translated to loss of human lives.

The focus of SPIoT is on high quality research papers about state of the art in a wide range of IoT-related technologies:

- Security and privacy in heterogeneous IoT.
- Secure and Privacy Preserving Data Mining and Aggregation in IoT applications.
- Cross-domain trust management in smart networks.
- Secure authentication of IoT devices.
- MAC layer security protocols for the IoT applications.
- IoT security mechanisms targeting application layer protocols.
- Resource-savvy Intrusion Detection for Networks of Things.
- IoT-based malware mitigation.

Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) in SpaCCS 2018 Workshops proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex).

Best papers, after further revisions, will be published in a special issue of Future Internet journal, MDPI. The corresponding CFP is http://www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet/special_issues/and_Privacy
Future Internet journal is covered by Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI - Web of Science), Ei Compendex, Scopus.

*** Best Paper Award ***
The symposium will offer a best paper award of 500 Swiss franc (CFH) sponsored by Future Internet journal, MDPI. The award which will be announced and bestowed at the symposium closing session. The award will be conferred to the author(s) of a paper presented at the conference, selected by the symposium chairs. The decision criterion will consider both the paper quality (assessed by the program committee), and the oral presentation quality (feedback given by session chairs at the conference venue).
