The 10th IEEE International Symposium on UbiSafe Computing UbiSafe 2018

活动简介

Welcome to UbiSafe 2018 in Melbourne, Australia, December 11-13, 2018!

Computers are now available anytime, anywhere, by different means, and distributed unobtrusively throughout everyday environments in which physical objects/artifacts embedded with invisible computers are sensible and networked locally and globally. Such "any" computers open tremendous opportunities to provide numerous novel services/applications in both real world and cyber spaces, and exist ubiquitously in our daily life, working, learning, traveling, entertainment, medicine, etc. Although it is yet unclear what exactly the real-cyber integrated worlds would be, there is no doubt that they must be safe.

Following the traditions of previous successful UbiSafe conferences, formerly Symposium on Ubisafe Computing, held in Guangzhou, China (2017); Zhangjiajie, China (2016); Helsinki, Finland (2015); Beijing, China (2014); Melbourne, Australia (2013); Liverpool, UK (2012); Changsha, China (2011); Chengdu China (2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (2007). The 10th IEEE International Symposium on Ubisafe Computing (UbiSafe 2018) will be held in conjunction with "The 11th International Conference on Security, Privacy and Anonymity in Computation, Communication and Storage (SpaCCS 2018) ". It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on theories and technologies for ubiquitous artifacts to function safely for different purposes; for ubiquitous systems to work safely in various situations; and for ubiquitous environments to behave safely with all people.

The UbiSafe 2018 will be hold in Melbourne. Melbourne, Australia's second biggest city, regularly named one of the world's most liveable cities, features elegant Victorian buildings built during the 1850s Gold Rush and the 1880s boom. Australia's "Sports Capital" is the venue of the Australian Open, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and the Melbourne Cup, a top equestrian event. Melbourne's cultural energy is apparent everywhere; its visual arts, literary, theatre and, especially, live music scenes are vigorous and popular. The annual Melbourne Festival (in October, one of the best times to visit) features a great range of events, and the Writers Festival is a reader's and writer's delight.

作者指南

All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceedings of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 10 pages inSpringer LNCS format (or up to 14 pages with the pages over length charge), including tables, figures, references and appendices. Papers should be submitted through the paper submission system at the symposium website. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be considered for possible publication in SCI & EI indexed special issues of prestigious international journals. The program committee will select and award one "Best Paper Award" for this symposium. By submitting a paper to the conference, authors assure that if the paper is accepted, at least one author will attend the conference and present the paper.
