SafeThings 2018
CALL FOR PAPERS:
ACM SafeThings 2018
2nd ACM Workshop on the Internet of Safe Things
Co-located with Sensys

The Internet of Safe Things workshop (or SafeThings, for brevity) seeks to bring researchers and practitioners that are actively exploring system design, modeling, verification, authentication approaches to provide safety guarantees in the Internet of Things (IoT). The workshop welcomes contributions that integrate hardware and software systems provided by disparate vendors, particularly those that have humans in the loop. As safety is inherently linked with the security and privacy, we welcome contributions that address safety concerns in these areas as well. With the SafeThings workshop, we seek to develop a community that systematically dissects the vulnerabilities and risks exposed by these emerging CPSes, and create tools, algorithms, frameworks and systems that help in the development of safe systems.

******CALL FOR PAPERS******
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SafeThings workshop covers safety topics as it relates to an individual's health (physical, mental), the society (air pollution, toxicity, disaster events), or the environment (species preservation, global warming, oil spills). The workshop considers safety from a human perspective, and thus, does not include topics such as thread safety or memory safety in its scope.
Our workshop will cover, but not limit itself to, the following subject categories:
* Verification of safety in IoT platforms
* Privacy preserving data sharing and analysis
* Compliance with legal, health and environmental policies
* Integration of hardware and software systems
* Conflict resolution between IoT applications
* Safety in human-in-the-loop systems
* Support for IoT development - debugging tools, emulators, testbeds
* Usable security and privacy for IoT platforms
* Resiliency against attacks and faults
* Secure connectivity in IoT
Our workshop will cover, but not limit itself to, the following domains: autonomous vehicles and transportation infrastructure; medical CPS and public health; smart buildings, smart grid and smart cities.

******CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMOS******
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would like to share a provocative opinion, an interesting preliminary work, or a cool idea that will spark discussion about IoT safety, the poster and demo section is a perfect venue to introduce new or ongoing work. Poster and demo presenters will have the opportunity to discuss their work, get exposure, and receive feedback from attendees.
