IoT 2018 - 1st ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Mobile IoT Sensing, Security, and Privacy

Today’s mobile Internet of Things devices (i.e., wireless-connected IoT devices) such as Amazon Alexa, WiFi smart bulbs, smart meters, and wearable devices are normally equipped with on-devices sensors. Although these sensors equip mobile IoT devices with the capability to sense users and their surrounding environment to provide context-aware services, they may also intrude users’ privacy and bring up many security concerns. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to bring together researchers from both academia and industry to discuss the sensing, security and privacy issues and corresponding solutions related to the existing and emerging mobile internet of things devices and infrastructure.
The workshop comes at a critical time juncture where mobile IoT devices are proliferating commercially. The off-the-shelf availability of mobile IoT devices today has significantly improved, and those devices have been widely adopted in a broad spectrum of applications such as automation and control, energy monitoring, healthcare - to name a few. We hope that this workshop will serve as a catalyst for exploring novel sensing applications enabled by mobile IoT devices as well as investigating techniques that enhance the security of mobile IoT devices and protect users’ privacy.
The focus areas include, but not limited to:
Novel mobile IoT sensing systems and applications
Cloud/Edge/Fog-based infrastructure for mobile IoT sensing
Privacy-preserving mobile IoT sensing
Key distribution and management
Physical security and hardware/software security
Authentication, authorization, audit, and access control for mobile IoT
