Personal and Ubiquitous Computing - Call for Papers: Security and Privacy Protection in Mobile Crowd Sensing and Mobile Crowdsourcing

CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS


Mobile crowd sensing and mobile crowdsourcing are an important part of the pervasive and ubiquitous computing landscape.

However, they are subject to cybersecurity vulnerabilities. There are few well-designed protection mechanisms for data sensing and task allocation. 

The goal of this special issue is to publish high-quality research contributions related to security and privacy protection in mobile crowdsensing and mobile crowdsourcing. 

Scope

We invite researchers to submit research, reviews, and perspectives on topics including, but not limited to:

  • Adversarial attack analysis in mobile crowd sensing and mobile crowdsourcing
  • Anomaly detection in mobile crowd sensing and mobile crowdsourcing
  • Federated learning for heterogeneous crowdsourcing data
  • Privacy protection in mobile crowdsensing and mobile crowdsourcing
  • Secure sensing in ubiquitous computing
  • Data protection in mobile crowdsensing and mobile crowdsourcing
  • Trust and privacy management in sensing in ubiquitous computing
  • Privacy-preserving sensing in ubiquitous computingSecure collaborative mobile crowdsensing
  • Cryptography for mobile crowd sensing and mobile crowdsourcing
  • Secure issues in mobile crowdsourcing for geo-social networks
  • Blockchain in mobile crowdsensing and mobile crowdsourcing

Submissions

Submissions should be original papers and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Extended versions of high-quality conference papers that are already published at relevant venues may also be considered as long as the additional contribution is substantial (at least 30% new content).

Authors should follow the formatting and submission instructions for Personal and Ubiquitous Computing at https://www.springer.com/journal/779/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab).

For more information visit the Springer Nature Information for journal Article Authors pages at https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/journal-author (this opens in a new tab)

During the first submission step in Editorial Manager select 'Original article' as the article type. In further steps you should confirm that your submission belongs to this special issue by choosing the special issue title from the drop-down menu.

All papers will be peer-reviewed. Before any special issue is given final approval to be put into production, additional rigorous integrity checks are carried out by the editor-in-chief, editorial team, production office and by Springer Nature.
