ACM WiSec 2019 Call for Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials

Pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be held on Tuesday 14 May 2019, one day prior to 12th

Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (ACM WiSec), which will be held

in Miami Beach, Florida. ACM WiSec is the leading ACM and SIGSAC conference dedicated to all

aspects of security and privacy in wireless and mobile networks and their applications. More

information about the 12th ACM WiSec conference can be found at https://wisec19.fiu.edu.

Researchers and practitioners interested in chairing workshops or hosting tutorials are invited to

submit proposals for workshops or tutorials.

Potential workshop and tutorial topics include, but are not limited to:

Security and Privacy for Wireless 5G Networks and Beyond

Wireless Security for Edge/Fog Computing

Security and Privacy for Wireless Cyber-Physical Systems

5G Physical Layer Security and Privacy

Security and Privacy for Spectrum Sharing Systems

Security and Privacy for Large-scale Wireless Platforms and Testbeds

Workshops

The goal of the workshops is to provide researchers and practitioners a forum to address important

research topics to generate new ideas, discuss open questions and compare advantages and

disadvantages of competing approaches. Also, controversial topics are welcomed. Organizers of a

workshop are required to assume responsibility of coordinating workshop participation, publishing the

program and moderating the workshop and optionally publishing the workshop proceedings.

Workshops can be half-day or full-day workshops with intermediary breaks between sessions for offline discussions.

We strongly suggest workshops not to include more than 12 talks per day. Panel

sessions are also welcome.

Tutorials

Proposals for tutorials targeting any topics relevant to wireless and mobile network security are

welcomed. Tutorials should be of interest to a significant portion of the WiSec community and

represent a relatively mature area of research or practice. The scope of the tutorial should be

sufficiently broad not as to cover only specific tools or technologies of particular organizations, but

rather provide a balanced overview of an area of security research.

Each tutorial will be approximately 2-3 hours, 3-4 tutorials in total, running in parallel with workshop

sessions.

Submission instructions for workshop and tutorial proposals

Proposals should be no more than 5 pages in 12-point double column format and should be submitted

in PDF format by email to [log in to unmask] with a subject of keyword “WiSec’19

Workshop Proposal” or “WiSec’19 Tutorial Proposal” followed by the proposed workshop or tutorial

name.Workshop proposals should include a draft call for papers. If the workshop is intended to be invitationbased-only, a draft advertisement for the workshop should be included.

Proposals should provide a description and an outline of the intended content of the workshop or

tutorial, with an appropriate overview of the its positioning with regard to state-of-the-art research.

Tutorial proposals should outline the target audience of the tutorial, names of presenters including

names, affiliations, e-mail addresses and short biographies of each speaker, highlighting the speaker’s

expertise related to the proposed tutorial topic. All nominated presenters are expected to attend the

tutorial.
