===========================================================================
SIoTEc 2025 - 6th edition of ACM Workshop on Secure IoT, Edge and Cloud systems
Seoul, South Korea
Nov 10 - 14, 2025 - https://siotec.netsons.org/

in conjunction with the 34th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2025)


===========================================================================

MISSION:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the last years, we have seen an increase in the number of Artificial
Intelligence (AI)-powered applications for information retrieval and data science.
This fact led to an increasing reliance on distributed computing infrastructures,
including Cloud, Edge, and IoT environments. These architectures enable powerful
and scalable solutions but also introduce new security and privacy risks that
must be addressed at both the system and data levels.
Even a single breach on any of the links of the data-service-infrastructure chain
may seriously compromise the security of the end-user application.
With such a wide attack surface, security must definitely be approached
in a holistic way and addressed in any layer where concerns may potentially arise.
SIoTEC solicits novel and innovative ideas, proposals, positions and best practices
that address the modelling, design, implementation, and enforcement of security
in Cloud/Edge/IoT environments.


TOPICS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Blockchain-based tools and services for secure AI services
- Security challenges in distributed AI-based systems
- Data security across multiple domains and countries
- Federated IoT, Edge and Cloud systems and Osmotic computing
- Secure deployment of AI services in Cloud/Edge/IoT architectures
- Privacy-preserving machine learning in multi-device environments
- Protection against poisoning and Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks
- Security of Cyber-physical systems
- Anonymous and certified communications
- Attacks detection and prevention
- Secure communication protocols for multi-domain data exchange
- Post-quantum security
- Security in Osmotic Computing
- Security on Cyber-physical systems
- Metrics and performance of secure interdomain protocols
- Authentication protocols and key management
- Availability and survivability of secure services and systems
- Biometric security
- Trust models and security modeling in Cloud/Edge/IoT scenarios
- Security and privacy in the cloud and fog/edge infrastructure, services and storage
- Machine/deep learning applied to security applications
- Emerging and disruptive technologies for security, privacy, trust and forensics
- Security systems and protocols for Drones
- Drone communication and communication security
- Security in e-health
- Security in Smart cities
- Security in Networks including SDN
- Data splitting and secret sharing
- Security in Federated Learning


The use of Soft Computing/Computational Intelligence methods in facing problems
in the above topics is highly welcome, although not compulsory.


PAPER SUBMISSION:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit their papers written in English in ACM double-column format (sigconf template).
Papers can be either full, with a maximum length of eight (6) printed pages, or short, with a maximum length of four (4) printed pages.
In both cases, the number of pages includes figures, tables and references.
Submissions should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.
All papers will be reviewed for scientific quality by the Technical Program Committee.

All papers should be submitted via easychair using the following link
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SIOTEC2025/Submission/Index

Paper submission implies the willingness of at least one author to register, at the regular rate (non-student), and present the paper.
All accepted papers will be published by ACM as SIoTEC Proceedings and indexed by SCOPUS. The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing
the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.


BEST PAPER AWARD:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A "Best Paper Award" Certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a paper presented at the workshop,
selected by the Chairs based on scientific significance, originality and outstanding technical quality of the paper,
as assessed also by the evaluations of the members of the Program Committee.

SPECIAL ISSUES:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Highly top rated papers from the Siotec 2025 conference will be invited for submission of extended version for publication in one of the following special issues:
TBA

IMPORTANT DATES:
