*************************************************************************
IEEE International Workshop on Future Networks for Secure Smart Cities
(FNSSC 2017)
May 8-12, 2017 / Lisbon, Portugal.
(Organized in conjunction with IFIP/IEEE IM 2017)
https://fnssc.itl.waw.pl/
*************************************************************************

Call for Papers
---------------
Future Smart Cities are expected to carry massive amount of extremely
sensitive data related to residents’ private life. Just to mention a
few, information about transportation, health care, public
administration, education will be constantly collected and processed in
order to provide citizens with essential services on a daily basis. This
trend rises widespread concerns about the security of the infrastructure
used to gather and analyze those data.
Traditional computer networks seem to lack all the necessary features to
smoothly implement the required mechanisms to protect the infrastructure
and the transferred data therein. In fact, inherent characteristics of
traffic, network topologies and devices present in Smart Cities make the
design and implementation of security mechanisms extremely challenging.
Although common good practices are followed by devices manufacturers and
vendors, the integration of different devices still presents a number of
issues with regard to interconnectivity, communication, applicability,
security and privacy. Moreover, many of the devices classified into the
Internet of Things have limited resources (from the point of view of
computing power and storage), which makes the execution of complex
communication and security mechanisms difficult.
An interesting, yet unexplored, research area lays at the intersection
of novel network paradigms, like the Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
and the Information-Centric Networking (ICN). Those novel approaches
considerably extend the toolkit available to network operators by
enhancing control and data-plane logics. Novel paradigms may solve new
challenges of security and data privacy, energy-consumption concerns and
issues related to massive interconnectivity of objects and services.
The Workshop on "Future Networks for Secure Smart Cities" provides a
forum for discussions on the potential of novel networking paradigms for
the development of Smart Cities. It brings together industry and
academia, engineers and researchers to propose solutions as well as to
identify open security challenges in the design and maintenance of
solutions in urban environments

Topics of Interest
------------------
The workshop invites submissions of unpublished works proposing
architectures and mechanisms to improve the security of services
provided within Smart Cities. Topics of interest include (but not
limited to):

- Architectures for security monitoring in urban environments
- Interconnection of existing services in Smart Cities
- Trust management schemas
- SDN control plane application for anomalies detection in traffic scenarios
- Security and energy-saving improvements for SDN/ICN protocols
- Solutions for interconnectivity and security in smart buildings
- Advanced fault tolerance and resiliency mechanisms
- Lightweight secure solutions to interconnect sensor networks in urban
zones
- Threats and countermeasures of massive interconnectivity
- Use cases for SDN and ICN in Smart Cities
- Integration of SDN and ICN protocols

Important Dates
---------------
Paper registration: Dec 15, 2016 (Thursday)
Paper Submission: Dec 19, 2016 (Monday)
Notification of acceptance/rejection: Jan 30, 2017 (Monday)
Camera ready: Feb 15, 2017 (Wednesday)

Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit original, unpublished works
for publication in the IEEE IM 2017 proceedings and for presentation in
the workshop.
Please, follow the same instructions as for IM Technical Papers (IEEE
2-column style to be included in IEEE Xplore). However, in order to
undergo the single-blind review process, submissions must have a maximum
length of 6 pages (including title, abstract, all the tables and figures
and references). Papers should be submitted through JEMS by selecting IM
2017 – FNSSC 2017 track.

Workshop Chairs
---------------
- Jordi Mongay Batalla, NIT, Poland.
- Jérôme François, INRIA Nancy, France.
- Thomas Engel, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

The Technical Program Committee is already available on the workshop
website.
