*SYNERGY 2024 CFP:*
Welcome to the Second Workshop on Engineering Intelligent, Trustworthy, and
Secure Internet of Things (IoT) Systems, SYNERGY 2024! This workshop aims
to bring together a forum for experts, researchers, and practitioners from
academia and industry to share their insights, ideas, and experiences on
the design, development, and deployment of intelligent, trustworthy, and
secure IoT systems. The workshop forum allows a discussion on the latest
advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of IoT systems and
Artificial Intelligence (AI). It paves the way for exploring innovative
approaches and solutions that can address the pressing issues.
The convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence
(AI) has ushered in a new era of innovative systems and services, commonly
referred to as AIoT, in critical domains such as transportation,
healthcare, building automation, and other essential infrastructure. AIoT
systems have revolutionized data collection, processing, and
decision-making by significantly reducing response times compared to
human-dependent systems. However, these systems must be secure, preserve
data privacy, and be trustworthy for human users to fully embrace them.
Security is a crucial component of an AIoT system’s trustworthiness,
alongside availability, accuracy, integrity, scalability, privacy, and
reliability.

   - Novel techniques for evaluating AIoT systems’ trustworthiness.
   - Security challenges in AIoT systems
   - Software architectures and approaches for engineering trustworthy AIoT
   systems.
   - Security and privacy for AIoT systems.
   - Trustworthy deployment of AIoT systems across the Edge-Cloud continuum.
   - Human interaction with AIoT systems.
   - Trustworthy adaptations for AIoT systems.
   - Data collection and processing techniques for large-scale AIoT systems.
   - Blockchain for AIoT systems.
   - Testbeds for AIoT systems.
   - Routing protocols to ensure communication efficiency for AIoT systems.
   - Secure edge computing for AIoT systems.
   - Engineering secure IoT and IIoT systems.
   - Secure and trustworthy data sharing in IoT ecosystems.
   - Secure and trustworthy Internet of Drones (IoD).
   - Secure and trustworthy Internet of Vehicles (IoV).
   - Secure cross-devices Federated Learning, smart cities applications.
   - Federated Learning for IoT Forensics.
   - Collective and collaborative intelligence for AIoT security.
   - Generative AI for AIoT security.
   - Adversarial learning and secure AIoT.
   - Explainable AI for secure and trustworthy AIoT engineering.
   - Attack detection and mitigation in AIoT.
   - Predictive threat intelligence in AIoT.
   - AI regulations and implications in Cybersystems.

* Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings*
Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11"
two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 8 pages
(including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must
present original unpublished research that is not currently under review
for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines
may be rejected without review. Also submissions received after the due
date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not
be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further
information or clarification. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least
three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the FMEC Proceeding, and be
published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and
be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion.

Submitted papers must include original work, and must not be under
consideration for another conference or journal. Submission of regular
papers up to 8 pages and must follow the IEEE paper format. Please include
up to 7 keywords, complete postal and email address, and fax and phone
numbers of the corresponding author. Authors of accepted papers are
expected to present their work at the conference. Submitted papers that are
deemed of good quality but that could not be accepted as regular papers
will be accepted as short papers. Length of short papers can be between 4
to 6 pages.
*Important Dates:*
Submission Due: June 30th, 2024
Notification: July 30th, 2024
Camera-ready submission: August 10th, 2024
