nternational Conference on Security of Smart Cities, Industrial Control System and Communications (SSIC'2018) is the third conference in the area of cyber security focusing on the industry control system, cloud platform and smart cities. City and industrial control infrastructures are changing with new interconnected systems for monitoring, control and automation. The conference will provide an international forum for scientists, researchers, professionals, industry practitioners, policy makers, and users to exchange ideas, techniques and tools, and share experience related to all practical and theoretical aspects of communications and network security. SSIC’2018 will take place on October 18 - 19, 2018, in Shanghai, China.

SSIC'2018 conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE. All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. SSIC'2018 seeks original high-quality technical papers from academia, government, and industry.
