MedSPT 2016 - Second IEEE International Workshop on Security, Privacy, and Trustworthiness in Medical Cyber-Physical Systems (MedSPT 2017)

The Second IEEE International Workshop on Security, Privacy, and
Trustworthiness in Medical Cyber-Physical Systems (MedSPT 2017)

Medical Cyber Physical Systems (MCPS) are life-critical, context-
aware, and networked systems of medical devices that provide tight
integration and coordination between the cyber world of computing
and communications and the physical world. Recent advances in mobile
and wearable healthcare, communication, and Cloud computing
technologies are making MCPS a promising platform for scientific
advancement and development of new tools that may improve patients’
health and wellbeing. Coming along with the potential social economic
and personal healthcare benefits are significant security, privacy,
and trustworthiness challenges in MCPS, due to unreliable embedded
software controlling medical devices, weak computing and networking
capabilities of medical devices, and adaptive privacy requirements
introduced by complicated physiological dynamics of patient bodies.
So far, the security, privacy, and trustworthiness initiatives for
MCPS are still at an early stage. On one hand, more and more concerns
have been raised in the fields and many security, privacy, and
trustworthiness-enhancing techniques have been proposed to resolve
these concerns. On the other hand, the emerging mobile and wearable
technologies revolutionize the entire MCPS as well as its models of
security, privacy, and trustworthiness. It is still not clear that
these proposed techniques are useful and effective in practice and
how quickly or even possibly they are going to be adopted.
This workshop aims to bring together the technologists and researchers
who share interest in the area of security, privacy and trustworthiness
in medical cyber physical systems, as well as explore new venues of
collaboration. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research
and relevant activities in the design of secure, privacy, or
trustworthiness architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and
applications on medical cyber physical systems. It also aims at
increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals
working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical,
experimental research, and work in-progress for security, privacy and
trustworthiness related issues in the context of medical cyber physical
system.

Instructions for Authors
Submitted papers must be neither previously published nor under review
by another workshop, conference or journal. Only electronic submissions
in PDF will be accepted. Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 6 (or 7
with $100 extra fees) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point
size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures,
tables, and references. See style templates for details: IEEE Manuscript
Templates for Conference Proceedings." Note that at least one of the
authors of each paper accepted for presentation in MedSPT 2017 must be
registered. All presented papers will be published in formal workshop
proceedings and will be included in IEEE Digital Library. Submitted
papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged
on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of
presentation and the comments will be provided to the authors.
If any accepted paper is not registered, the paper will be removed
from the workshop program and the proceedings.
Outstanding papers will be invited to extend to full version for a
prestigious journal, Elsevier Smart Health.
