Call for Papers - IEEE TrustCom-2024

The 23rd IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (TrustCom-2024) is a forum for presenting leading works on trusted computing, communications, networking and machine learning, with regard to trust, security, privacy, reliability, dependability, survivability, availability, and fault tolerance aspects of computer systems and networks, as well as AI.

TrustCom-2024 will be hosted in Sanya, China, from December 17-21, 2024.

Introduction

As computer systems, communication networks and artificial intelligence (AI) undergo rapid development, accompanied by increasing complexity, the expectations of users for trust, security, and privacy have grown considerably. This presents a significant challenge, as traditional security technologies and measures may struggle to meet the evolving demands within open, dynamic, heterogeneous, mobile, wireless, and distributed computing environments. Consequently, the imperative is to construct systems and networks that enable users to access more comprehensive services while concurrently upholding trust, security, and privacy. In response to this challenge, trusted computing and communications have emerged as pivotal and innovative technologies, capturing the heightened interest of researchers. These advancements offer promising solutions to address the intricate demands of contemporary computing landscapes.

The conference continues the tradition of successful IEEE TrustCom conferences held from 2002 to 2023 across Asia, Europe, Australia, and America. It will feature sessions of regular presentations, workshops, tutorials, and keynote speeches.

Submission Invitation

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to TrustCom-2024.
