9h30-10h30: keynote1, Deep Learning, Selwyn Piramuthu
Deep learning has revolutionized learning difficult concepts through mapping inputs to appropriate outputs. While deep learning is not conceptually different from what existed before this term was coined, it has some distinguishing features. We discuss the history of deep learning, its features, and associated challenges. We also briefly discuss federated learning as it relates to IoT.

Selwyn Piramuthu is Professor of Information Systems at the University of Florida, where he has taught since Fall 1991. His research interests include machine learning and cryptography with applications in financial credit scoring, IoT/RFID systems, scheduling, and supply chain management.

9h00-9h30: Welcome

9h30-10h30: keynote2, "Internet Of Secure Elements, A New Direction For Secure Elements Use In 6G Landscape", Pascal Urien

This talk presents a new and emerging open technology named Internet of Secure Elements (IOSE), which goal is to enforce trust and security for digital platforms such as Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, cloud computing or edge computing, thanks to on-line secure elements identified by Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). A Secure Element is a tamper resistant microcontroller equipped with host interfaces such as ISO7816, I2C, or SPI. Most of secure elements include a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and execute embedded program written in the JAVACARD language. More than 10 billion secure elements are manufactured every year.

Pascal Urien is professor at Telecom Paris. His research area is computer security, more particularly based on secure elements. Applications target networks, cloud computing infrastructures, mobile applications, internet of things, blockchain systems. He is co-founders of the Ethertrust startup

Scope

The goal of the "Conference on Mobile Applications, Security, and Services" is to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities for academic researchers and industrial innovators.
We are looking for both research papers on new applications and presentations of deployment experiments or new business opportunities.
This conference aims to bring researchers and industrial experts together to discuss the latest frontiers of mobile technology, and also novel applications that have not been thought of before.
In an always-on and everything connected context, mobile applications are more and more interacting with sensitive or personal resources hosted in cloud computing or Internet of Things infrastructure.
As a consequence, security and trust are critical issues, and likely a prerequisite for the deployment of IoT and Cyber Physical System and frameworks.
Digital society offers to researchers and developers a great opportunity for getting quick traction with novel applications.
The broad availability of communication technologies fertilizes research and development of novel applications and can go well beyond these intended applications.

The conference is open but not limited to the following topics:

Proximity communication technologies for mobile (NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy, ZibBee,…)
Secure transactions over proximity communications
Deployment experiments and testing for IoT Platforms
Payments, transport, ticketing, access control, couponing, macro localization (Tags)
Trust for mobile applications and services
