Topics/Call fo Papers

The recent proliferation in smart digital assistants holds incredible potential for unprecedented services from (spontaneously networked) devices. Examples include directional audio reception, energy-gentle collaborative processing, unified user-interfaces spanning multiple collaborating devices, context-adaptive optimization of smart digital assistants behavior or device-capability-based intelligent task allocation. Most prominent examples for smart digital assistants are e.g. Alexa, Siri, Echo, Cortana, Google assistant, but also increasingly prominent chat-bots that are intergrated into pervasive applications. Such intelligent smart assistants exploit the recent avent of Artificial Intelligence for situation-dependent service composition conditioned on contextual stimuli from environmental perception. However, together with the technical challenges, privacy concerns, moralities and interface-design aspects of such intelligent machines need to be taken into account.
It is therefore the goal of this workshop to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches are presented and discussed.
Thus, we like to encourage practioners and scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field.
Even if work is in a very early stage, all submitted work must conform to typical scientific requirements; showing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system, the system should be described and discussed thoroughly.
Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which must not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These may be related to novel and convenient techniques for key generation and pairing, discussions on entropy and statistical properties of sensor-generated random sequences but also novel applications and designs of smart digital assistants. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Novel smart digital assistant systems
Context-based authentication and pairing
Attacks on smart digital assistants
Entropy and statistical analysis for keys generated in smart digital assistant systems
Novel sensor modalities for context-based authentication or security
Case studies in smart digital assistants
Distributed Audio-processing in smart digital assistants
Moralities and Ethics for smart digital assistants
Quantization approaches
Novel usable security/privacy mechanisms in the field of pervasive computing
Biometric and context-based authentication and pairing
Usability evaluations of new or existing security or privacy features
User studies in usable security and privacy
Lessons learned from the deployment and use of usable and pervasive security
User experience in smart digital assistants
Security schemes for sharply resource limited devices in Pervasive and IoT environments
Privacy and anonymization aspects
Novel interfaces fostering usable security and privacy
Entropy estimation and statistical analysis
Edge-support for usable security on resource limited pervasive devices
Lightweight security solutions
Detection and prevention of attacks
Authentication and access control
Trust in smart digital assistants
Orchestration and collaboration between devices
