Call for Papers
The First International Workshop on
Secure Edge Networking and Applications (SENA)
In Conjunction with
IEEE Sixth International Conference on Blockchain Computing and Applications
(IEEE BCCA 2024)
26-29 November 2024 (Dubai, UAE)

Edge networking plays a significant role in shaping the future of Internet of Things (IoT) networks by processing high volumes of data at the network edge and meeting the desired latency demand. Although edge computing is regarded as a promising technology for these features as well as its decentralization and supportive functionalities, there is a need to develop systems to protect data security and privacy since users can face the risk of data leakage when they offload data to the edge/cloud server. Secure edge networking is continuously becoming a top strategic technology that connects the physical and blockchain-secured worlds, assisted by next-generation networks. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Twin (DT) driven secure edge-network can deliver seamless analysis, monitoring, and predictions when it is used together with next-generation mobile communications (5G/6G), Internet of Things (IoT), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Federated Learning (FL), distributed computing, and intelligent smart city applications.

The workshop will invite authors to submit papers presenting new research related to all aspects of secure edge networks and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *   IoT-based secure edge networking for real-time communication systems
  *   Real-time communication protocols for secure edge networking
  *   Resource management and network optimization for secure edge network
  *   Secure edge networking and industrial IoT applications
  *   Digital twin (DT)-enabled secure edge networking
  *   Real-world Digital Twin (DT) simulations, prototypes, and testbed demonstrations for secure edge networks
  *   Attack detections/defences for secure edge networking
  *   Blockchain-driven secure edge networking
  *   Energy efficient secure edge networking
  *   Federated learning-based secure edge networking
  *   Modeling and performance analysis of secure edge networking
  *   Software-defined network (SDN) controlled secure edge networking
  *   AI as a service (AIaaS) for secure edge networking
  *   Wireless communications for cyber-physical edge network applications
  *   New security and privacy concepts within edge network applications
  *   LLMs in secure edge network
  *   Trustworthy secure edge network applications
  *   Secure edge network applications for smart cities
  *   AI-driven applications for secure edge networks
  *   Autonomous and context-aware secure edge networks
  *   Self-organizing secure edge networks and applications
  *   Sustainable AI-based secure edge network
  *   Secure edge network design for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) applications
