The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) – has been
known worldwide as one of the longest standing scientific communities in
the information systems and technology fields. Since 1968, it has become a
respected destination that attracts high-caliber scholars and professionals
in academia, industry and government agencies around the world to discuss
their cutting-edge research. The objective of this minitrack is to increase
the visibility of current research and emergent trends in Cyber-Assurance
theory, application, embedded security, and machine-learning for the
Internet of Things (IoT), software-defined networks (SDN)/network function
virtualization (NFV), Edge computing, and Fog computing architectures based
on theoretical aspects and studies of practical applications. The target
audience of this mini-track will be composed of researchers, professionals,
and students working in the field of cyber-security, wireless technologies,
information system theory, systems engineering, information security
architecture, and security system design along with university professors
and researchers involved in information assurance, cyber-security, IoT,
SDN/NFV, and Fog computing related security computing.

This mini-track will focus on the security needs of these environments,
highlighting key issues, identifying the associated security implications
so that the general participants can readily grasp the core ideas in this
area of research. Recommended topics for this track include, but are not
limited to, the following:

   -  Hacking IoT/Edge/Fog computing networks/devices
   -  SDN/NFV security architectures and designs
   -  Vulnerabilities and exploits in SDN/NFV, Edge architectures
   -  Automated IoT/Edge/Fog computing vulnerability identification
   -  Research on automated IoT/Edge/Fog computing vulnerability assessment
   and intrusion detection tools and techniques
   - Genetic algorithms used to spawn and control intelligent agents for
   information assurance for IoT/Edge/Fog computing devices
   - Network management and visualization tools that support real time
   planning and control of tactical nets as well as tools for intrusion
   detection and forensic analysis in hybrid IoT/Fog computing networks
   - IoT/Edge/Fog Computing frameworks which allow diverse input data
   streams to be transformed into a unified information fusion space for
   processing using more unified and tractable procedures
   - Development of secure design methods, architectures, and
   implementations to minimize IoT/Edge/Fog computing power dissipation
   - IoT/Edge/Fog Computing sensor networking systems, including signal
   processing and communications interactions, distributed detection and
   estimation, and networking protocols
   - High frequency IoT/Edge/Fog Computing devices and modules to enhance
   situational analysis and increase the communication functionality

*PAPER SUBMISSION * Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in
PDF format. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers
and may not exceed 10 letter-size (8.5 x 11) pages including all figures,
tables and references (https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/).

Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without
review. The official language of the conference is English. All manuscripts
will be reviewed and judged on technical strength, originality,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the
conference attendees. The proceedings will be published through HICSS
conference proceedings. Submitted papers must represent original
unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other
conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be
rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not
limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the
authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due
date, exceeding the page limit, or not appropriately structured may not be
considered.

*PUBLICATION*

Proceedings will be published through the HICSS-55 conference proceedings.
Papers submitted could be accepted as REGULAR papers (10 pages) or SHORT
papers (6 pages), depending on the review scores.

*FAST TRACK JOURNAL OPPORTUNITY*

Authors of papers accepted for presentation in the mini-track will be
offered the opportunity to submit an *extended version *of their papers for
consideration for fast-track publication in the *International Journal of
Internet of Things and Cyber-Assurance [IJITCA] *(
