Daniela Lopez de Luise 
On-Site and Remote: eKNOW 2020 || November 21 – 25, 2020 – Valencia, Spain
June 16th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise With everyone's health and safety in mind, we are adapting some of the ways in which IARIA conferences are organized:
1. The submission deadlines (and other dates such as notification and camera ready) are rather flexible in order to account for possibly limited author access to the academic/industrial premises where the research work is taking place.
2. During the conference, authors will be able to present their work via pre-recorded videos and/or conference calls (in case they opt to avoid travel).
3. Selection of awarded papers and invitations for expanded versions for IARIA journals are not affected by the presentation method (pre recorded or in person)
We wish you health and safety during these times.
That being said, note that the submission deadline has been extended to August 5.
Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to:
– eKNOW 2020, The Twelfth International Conference on Information, Process, and Knowledge Management
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended article versions to one of the IARIA Journals: https://www.iariajournals.org

1st Workshop on Cyber Forensics and Advanced Threat Investigations
June 16th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise Investigations in Emerging Networks (CFATI 2020)
https://cfati.conceptechint.net/index.html
in conjunction with EUSPN-2020 conference Nov 2 – 5, 2020 , Madeira, Portugal
Important dates
Paper Submission: 30th June, 2020
Acceptance Notification: 22nd Aug, 2020
Final Manuscript Due: 30th Aug, 2020
Scope of the workshop:
The evolve of networked technologies, such as the internet of things
and cyber-physical systems, possess challenges base on the highly
limited capabilities of their infrastructure devices and the type of
data that can be processed by these devices. Complicated efforts are
required in suitable and timely manners against any detected threats.
Moreover, new frameworks are required to collect and preserve
potential evidential data in suitable and timely manners as well. To
guarantee proper cyber-defenses and strategies against the expanding
landscape of criminal activities as well as rapidly advancing network
technologies such as SDN or 5G and 6G.
There is a growing need for new methodologies, tools, and techniques,
capable of extracting, preserving, and analyzing different evidence
trails in various networked services and devices such as routers,
firewalls, web proxies, and network monitoring tools. Additionally,
there is also a growing need for research in new systems that are
capable of analyzing network traffic, netflows, and systems logs.
Satisfying these demands will aid in reconstructing the timeline of
the cyber-crime/attack under investigation and, possibly, the
identification of the potential actor(s).
The main motivation for this Workshop is to bring together researchers
and practitioners working on cyber forensics and threat investigations
for emerging networks to disseminate current research issues and
advances. Original technical papers describing new, state-of-the-art
research will be considered. The Workshop welcomes submissions that
evaluate existing research results by reproducing experiments. The aim
of this workshop is to provide insight for the discussion of the major
research challenges and achievements on various topics of interest.
CFATI 2020 will be held in conjunction with the 11th International
Conference on Emerging Ubiquitous Systems and Pervasive Networks
(EUSPN 2020) which is co-organized on November 2-5, 2020, Madeira,
Portugal.
Papers on practical as well as on theoretical topics and problems in
various topics related to cyber forensics and threat investigations
are invited, with special emphasis on novel techniques and tools to
collect data from networked devices and services in emerging networks
(such as the ones can be found in cyber-physical systems and Internet
of things). Topics include (but are not limited to):
· Advanced threat investigations, forensic and anti-forensic techniques
· Cooperative and distributed forensics and threat investigations
· Data exfiltration techniques from networked devices and
services (e.g. cyber-physical systems, and Internet-of-Things)
· Attack detection, traceback, and attribution in SDN, 5G, and 6G
· Methods for reconstruction of internet activities in SDN, 5G, and 6G
· Forensics and threat investigations in IoT
· Forensics and threat investigations in peer-to-peer, social,
and cloud networks
· Vulnerability & threat detection and mitigation techniques for
networked services
· Novel large-scale investigations techniques to analyze
intelligence data sets and logs
· Tools and services for cyber forensics and threat investigations
· VoIP forensics, VoIPoW forensics
We also encourage contributions describing innovative work in the
realm of cybersecurity, cyber defense, and digital crimes.

CFP: Special Issue on “Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for BCI/BMI”
June 16th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise Special Issue on “Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for BCI/BMI”
Journal: Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354).
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 December 2020.

Dear colleagues,
The brain–computer interface (BCI), also called the brain–machine interface (BMI), is an emerging technology involving software and hardware communication systems allowing the use of brain activity to control external devices such as computers, robots, and machines. BCI systems translate the activity of the brain to conduct an action or a command that will be executed by the external device. Artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) has received great attention for the development of BCI applications to solve difficult problems in several domains, in particular, medical and robotic fields. AI/ML has since become the most efficient tool for BCI systems. This Special Issue aims to solicit original research papers as well as review articles focusing on recent advances in AI/ML for BCI research.
The main topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
– Brain–computer interface (BCI)/Brain–machine interface (BMI)
– Artificial intelligence in BCI/BMI
– Machine learning in BCI/BMI
– Deep learning in BCI/BMI
– Brain signal processing for BCI/BMI
– Neurofeedback
– Neural Rehabilitation Engineering
– Related applications
