EAI CPSE 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference
In 2020, EAI successfully launched an online conference format to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the events, all while retaining fully live interaction, publication and indexing. Due to the unrelenting global pandemic, this will also be the case in 2021.
All matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged. Participants will still be able to enjoy unique interactive benefits – learn more.
Scope
Smart environments such as smart homes, smart industries or smart cities are envisioned to improve the interaction between humans and their surroundings. Collectively, these systems create dynamic and complex cyber infrastructures with diverse requirements in terms of their security and privacy. Also, the interactions between these systems create new threat landscapes with unique interactions and interdependencies between adversarial actions and their impact. This impact can be manifested differently, in the physical, electronic and natural domains for the same attack vectors. These smart environments include systems and networks that process and exchange information to. In these environments, the security of the systems, networks, and data plays a fundamental role since user data is gathered, processed and exchanged. Certain issues have been raised in terms of the privacy implications of machine-to-machine (M2M) and human-to-machine (H2M) communications in these environments. The ability of these systems to preserve privacy-enhancing security operations remains an open research and technical challenge with legal and regulatory ramifications as part of their deployment, use and abuse.
The Conference on Cybersecurity and Privacy in Smart Environments aims to bring together worldwide researchers to share and discuss recent security related challenges and opportunities arising when deploying smart spaces and environments.
The conference will count on defined Keynote Speakers that will give their contribution to discuss challenges and opportunities in the areas of the conference.

Paper submission
Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).
All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.
