International Conference on Secure Knowledge Management: Call for Papers

With the advent of revolutionary technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, big data, and IoT; Secure Knowledge Management (SKM) continues to be an important research area that deals with methodologies for systematically gathering, organizing, and disseminating information in a secure manner. The recent development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the security arena shows a promising future, and there is no doubt that AI can provide new ideas and tools for SKM. Therefore, this conference on SKM will bring together researchers & practitioners from academia, industry, and government on a global scale. The scope and focus of SKM-2021 conference are to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns including practical challenges encountered and solution adopted with special emphasis on AI. SKM 2019 was held in BITS Pilani, Goa Campus, Goa, India and past iterations of SKM were held at SUNY at Buffalo, SUNY Albany, NYU, SUNY Stony Brook, UT Dallas, Rutgers University, BITS Dubai, and University of South Florida. Following the biennial tradition of the Secure Knowledge Management Workshop that began in 2004, SKM-2021 (https://www.secure-km.org/) will be held during October 8 – 9, 2021, at the Courtyard by Marriott on the Riverwalk (dependent on the status of the Covid-19 Pandemic) in San Antonio. Papers offering novel research contributions in all aspects of SKM are solicited for submission. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• SKM in specific technology domains such as:
• Artificial Intelligence
• Data mining and Machine Learning
• Hybrid Cloud Computing
• Big Data in Collaborative Environment
• Internet of Things
• Cyber-Physical Systems
• Healthcare
• Online Social Networks
• Role of SKM in Design of Secure Systems
• Role of SKM in General Data Protection Regulation
• SKM for Digital Payments
• Risk & Security Metrics for Knowledge Management
• SKM for Insider Threat Detection and Mitigation
• Knowledge Management for Fake News Detection
• Trust concerning Knowledge Management

SKM 2021 is happy to announce that selected students will be provided travel support to attend the conference contingent upon availability of funds.

We will continue to monitor the COVID situation as it progresses. In case a fully physical hosting is deemed inappropriate, the chairs will move the conference to a hybrid/virtual meeting through Zoom. Such a decision will take place 1 month ahead of the scheduled conference date.
