Saturday February 11th 2017

8h45- Breakfast (Mangrove Room)

9h45-10h15: IoT, Big (Input) Data, and Learning Complexity?
Pr Selwyn Piramuthu - University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA

The Internet of Things (IoT) comprises objects that have the ability to communicate with other objects that are ultimately connected to the Internet.
A majority of IoT objects in use at the moment are RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tags. These tags generate a large amount of data due to their real-time communication ability as well as the amount of data generated during each such communication instance.
The availability of such rich real-time data is unprecedented in a large number of these applications.
While it is nice to have access to such data, it is even more important to be able to process that data for actionable intelligence. Scalability is a significant issue that is faced by learning algorithms that are used in all Big Data applications. We discuss some steps that can be taken to preprocess the data in order to reduce its complexity, and thereby improve ease of learning/analysis.

Selwyn Piramuthu is Professor of Information Systems at the University of Florida, where he has taught since Fall 1991.
Over the years, he has had several visiting appointments at other universities and research institutions.
His research interests include IoT and machine learning.

8h30- Breakfast (Mangrove room)

9h15-10h15 Keynote: Public Cloud & Security Challenge by Dr Fouad Amine Guenane
Recently the “Cloud Security Spotlight Report” showed that “90 percent of organizations are very or moderately concerned about public cloud security.”
These concerns run the gamut from vulnerability to hijacked accounts to malicious insiders to full-scale data breaches.
Although cloud services have ushered in a new age of transmitting and storing data, many companies are still hesitant or make the move without a clear plan for security in place.
In this talk, we will discuss the more important security concerns and present some countermeasures.

Scope

The goal of the "Conference on Mobile Applications, Security, and Services" is to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities both for academic researchers and industrial innovators.

We are looking for both research papers on new applications and presentations of deployment experiments or new business opportunities.

This conference aims to bring researchers and industrial experts together to discuss the latest frontiers of mobile technology and also novel applications that have not been thought of before.

In an always-on and everything connected context, mobile applications are more and more interacting with sensitive or personal resources hosted in cloud computing or Internet of Things infrastructure. As a consequence, security and trust are critical issues, and likely a prerequisite for the deployment of IoT frameworks.

Among other, the NFC technology enables communication in close proximity. With NFC mobiles surfacing the market so quickly, mobile operating systems are prepared for support with dedicated frameworks. This offers researchers and developers a great opportunity for getting quick traction with novel applications.

So far, the main close proximity enabled services deal with payment, access control, or ticketing. Commercial applications today mainly target mobile payments, or eTickets managed by transportation companies. The broad availability of communication technologies fertilizes research and development of novel applications and can go well beyond these intended applications.

The conference welcomes contributions addressing (but not limited to) the following topics:

Proximity communication technologies for mobile (NFC, Low Power Bluetooth,…), secure transactions over proximity communications;

Trust for mobile applications and services, Secure Elements, SIM frameworks; SecureSD, (including Google Vault) platforms; Single Wire Protocol (SWP); Trusted Service Manager (TSM); Secure over the air (OTA) services, Hardware Secure Module (HSM)

New mobile secure architectures. Host Card Emulation (HCE). Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).

New services and business perspectives New payment applications; Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay Services; secure tokenisation technologies; proximity communication for access control; automotive industry perspectives; applications for the consumer industry; applications for smart cities; Internet Of Things (IoT) new perspectives;

Mobile Applications for Social Networks.

Deployment experiments and testing IoT Platforms, payments, transport, ticketing, access control, couponing, macro localization (Tags).
