*Submission Deadline*: September 22, 2017
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 overarching theme of this minitrack for HICSS-51 is to increase the visibility of current research and emergent trends in Cyber-Assurance theory, application and embedded security for the Internet of Things (IoT)/Fog Computing architectures based on theoretical aspects and studies of practical applications. Cyber-assurance is the justified confidence that networked systems are adequately secure to meet operational needs, even in the presence of attacks, failures, accidents and unexpected events. Cyber-assurance means that IoT/Fog Computing smart internet connected devices (ICD) and networks possess intrinsic, immutable security properties that make them proof against cyber-attacks. The difference is that the concept of cyber-assurance must provide embedded, secure microchips/processors in ICD devices and networks that can continue to operate correctly even when subjected to an attack.
IoT/Fog Computing devices, systems and networks should be able to resist the various security cyber-attacks such as hacking of networks, devices, theft of information, disruption, etc. and be able to continue functioning with designed minimum levels of performance under severe environmental conditions. Through embedded processors and algorithms over the transmitted information, the miscoding and leaking of information during transmission channels must be prevente to mitigate any loss of data. Timely adjustments of information with falling quality and automatic switching to the best routing IoT/Fog Computing system by making uses of multi-directional routing is also warranted. Cyber-assurance will need to provide the principles and technologies to unify these systems to deliver the end-state goal of secure IoT/Fog Computing systems for greatly enhanced interoperability, scalability, performance, and agility.
Topics of interest for solicited, invited and otherwise submitted papers to this minitrack on HICSS-51 include but are not limited to the following:
- Cyber-Attacks against IoT/Fog Computing networks/devices - Automated IoT/Fog Computing vulnerability identification - Research on automated IoT/Fog Computing vulnerability assessment - Genetic algorithms for IoT/Fog Computing devices - Visualization tools that support hybrid IoT/Fog Computing networks - Cyber-Physical Systems for IoT/Fog Computing - IoT/Fog Computing frameworks - IoT radar component technology - IoT/Fog Computing sensor networking systems - High frequency IoT/Fog Computing devices and modules
*Important Dates for Paper Submissions*

*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.
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-51 conference proceedings. Papers submitted could be accepted as REGULAR papers (10 pages) or SHORT papers (6 pages), depending on the review scores.
*FAST TRACK TO JOURNAL PUBLICATION*
There will be opportunities for researchers to fast track a journal publication in a Special Issue on: "Securing Internet of Things and Fog Computing Architectures through Cyber-Assurance” with the International Journal of Internet of Things and Cyber-Assurance (IJITCA).
