===================================================================

Dear Colleagues,

Please see below the Call for Papers for ACM SafeThings 2017. We enthusiastically look forward to
your submissions on advancements in the safety of the Internet of Things ecosystem.

As the traditionally segregated systems are brought online for next generation connected
applications, we have an opportunity to significantly improve the safety of legacy systems. For
instance, insights from data across systems can be exploited to reduce accidents, improve air
quality and support disaster events. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) also bring new risks that arise
due to the unexpected interaction between systems. These safety risks arise because of information
that distracts users while driving, software errors in medical devices, corner cases in data-driven
control, compromised sensors in drones or conflicts in societal policies.

Accordingly, the Internet of Safe Things workshop (or SafeThings, for brevity) seeks to bring
researchers and practitioners that are actively exploring system design, modeling, verification,
authentication approaches to provide safety guarantees in the Internet of Things (IoT). The workshop
welcomes contributions that integrate hardware and software systems provided by disparate vendors,
particularly those that have humans in the loop. As safety is inherently linked with the security
and privacy, we also seek contributions in security and privacy that address safety concerns. With
the SafeThings workshop, we seek to develop a community that systematically dissects the
vulnerabilities and risks exposed by these emerging CPSes, and create tools, algorithms, frameworks
and systems that help in the development of safe systems.

SafeThings workshop covers safety topics as it relates to an individual’s health (physical, mental),
the society (air pollution, toxicity, disaster events), or the environment (species preservation,
global warming, oil spills). The workshop considers safety from a human perspective, and thus, does
not include topics such as thread safety or memory safety in its scope.

Our workshop will cover, but not limit itself to, the following subject categories:
- Verification of safety in IoT platforms
- Privacy preserving data sharing and analysis
- Compliance with legal, health and environmental policies
- Integration of hardware and software systems
- Conflict resolution between IoT applications
- Safety in human-in-the-loop systems
- Support for IoT development - debugging tools, emulators, testbeds
- Usable security and privacy for IoT platforms
- Resiliency against attacks and faults
- Secure connectivity in IoT

Our workshop will cover, but not limit itself to, the following domains: autonomous vehicles and
transportation infrastructure; medical CPS and public health; smart buildings, smart grid and smart
cities.

Submission Types:
We solicit two types of original submissions:
- Regular papers for oral presentation (6 pages)
- Technical posters and demos (1 page)

Important Dates:
- Abstract Submission Deadline: July 14, 2017 (11.59 PM AoE)
