Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing - Call for Papers: Challenges and Solutions for Human-Centric IoT and CPS Systems Security and Privacy

CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS


With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber-physical-social (CPS) systems, the human and physical environments are becoming increasingly intertwined, and the living quality has been greatly extended upon a variety of smart services and cyber-physical infrastructures. For example, IoT devices such as smartphones have become an important personal assistant and an indispensable part of our everyday life and work. With more and more users storing their private data on phones, it becomes greatly important to develop secure mobile operating systems, secure mobile cloud and applications, and secure mobile devices. A common convergence of all these security threats in human-centric IoT and CPS systems is the human element. Humans are critical in the design, operation, and management, and the whole research society has to ensure those systems operate transparently, efficiently and securely. Hence, there is an increasing need to deliver proper solutions to safeguard the security and privacy in human-centric IoT and CPS systems.

This special issue will focus on the security and privacy challenges and solutions for human-centric IoT and CPS systems, and aims to bring together research contributions of unpublished research on the recent development and innovations on this topic.
