CALL FOR PAPERS

The 14th International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC) Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC) have evolved into an active area of research and development. This is due to the tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and topics, including wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, RFID technology, and the ubiquitous mobile phone. MobiSPC-2017 solicits papers that focus on the theory, systems, practices and challenges of providing users with a successful mobile or wireless experience.

Situational Awareness provides a user centric approach to security and privacy. The human factor is often recognised as the weakest link in security, therefore situational perception and risk awareness play a leading role in the adoption and implementation of security mechanisms. In this study we assess the understanding of security and privacy of users in possession of wearable devices. The findings demonstrate privacy complacency, as the majority of users trust the application and the wearable device manufacturer.

The central objective of the Active Resources project is to transform the CPS-VO web portal from a collaboration platform and passive repository of information into an active resource that provides access to tools and methods emerging from the CPS research community.  As a first step towards providing templates and infrastructure for the dissemination of open-source model libraries and a tool integration platform, we conducted a pilot CPS Design Challenge for undergraduate students from four universities, which was sponsored by Microsoft Research.
