CMI/ WWRF workshop on : Privacy, Security and Business Modelling in Future Connected Systems

The huge potential in future connected services has as a precondition that privacy and security needs are dealt with in order for new services to be accepted. This is in particular an issue with private data and sharing of private data – both at company and at individual level.

In the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been introduced with the aim to protect citizens’ right to privacy. The focus of the GDPR is to build and increase trust in EU citizens in using digital services by providing trustworthy infrastructure supported by regulation.

The implementation of the GDPR still leaves several challenges. This workshop will address issues in relation to industry verticals and future connected services, e.g., privacy and security by design and data centric business models.

The workshop provides a platform for academia, industry and government organizations to discuss technical and regulatory solutions to privacy and security as well as user’ right to privacy with regards to collection, retention, analysis and transfer of personal data.

Papers and presentations relate to the following research areas:

• Security/privacy – Design and implementation of novel Privacy Enhancing Tools (PET) to provide users with the functionality they require without exposing any more information than necessary, and without losing control over their data, to any third parties. In order to realize that, security mechanisms like attribute based encryption, and authentication mechanisms are also part of the research.

• Economics/ privacy – Realizing user centric and data centric 5G technologies based on user trust in data privacy further requires viable business models. Today personal data has become an economic asset belonging to the service providers whose business case often includes and is dependent on the use and selling of such data to third parties. This type of business case is increasingly disputed both from a privacy and from an economic ownership perspective.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOP

The field of connected vehicles stands at the confluence of three evolving disciplines – the Internet of Things (IoT), emerging standards for connectivity of vehicles, and AI/machine learning. The number of connected IoT devices is forecast to grow from 9.5 billion devices in 2019 to 55 billion connected devices, according to more optimistic assessments. Consequently, applications of IoT devices have rapidly expanded to integrate intelligent sensing and processing along with smart applications of the technology into various fields such as smart homes, smart appliances, enterprises, smart transportation including connected vehicles, smart cities, agriculture, energy, security, healthcare, shopping, location-based services including tracking and other similar fields. The exponential growth of IoT is transforming the quality of living of human beings around the globe.

Fueling the growth in the evolution of vehicles towards total automation is the development of novel sensors, 3D cameras, lidar and radar and their ability to connect to the Internet and upload the data to a cloud. The sensors on an autonomous vehicle collect anywhere from 1.4 to 19 TB of data per hour. Whether or not the vehicles are autonomous, one of the key features of connected vehicles is that they are able to share data between themselves in real-time. For example, the scene of an accident or road work encountered by a vehicle can be immediately shared with vehicles it is connected to. Thus vehicles may learn about accidents or road work well in advance so as to enable them to make smart decisions and establish alternate routes to their destinations.

Standards are evolving to enable cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X). For instance, 3GPP has developed LTE-V2X and 5G-V2X in Releases 14, 15, and 16. This workshop will explore the impact of 5G, 6G and beyond on connected and autonomous vehicles.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOP

e-Health services are in need of continuous development to cope with the increase in aging population and reduction in available resources. Advancement in technology has been an important factor in such development of the e-Health services delivery. Advanced technologies such as 5G and beyond, AI and Machine-Learning will play an important role in the efficient and effective delivery of such services. While the 5G technology is in place, the challenge to bring the 5G into services, communities and business remains huge. At a time when spending on public services has never been under greater scrutiny, 5G will allow organisations related to health sector to utilise new services to improve efficiency, productivity and to save money in the long term, helping to automate processes otherwise taking up large proportions of budget and time. At the same time the engagement of these technologies in patient care have the ability to significantly improve care and even in emergency situations save patients’ lives. It is becoming apparent, 5G technology presents an opportunity to transform e-Health services, enabling them to share a much wider range of communications data including video. Furthermore, machine learning applications related on scene and video analysis, augmented reality for training and information sharing are technologies that will benefit from 5G networks providing improved and real time solutions. This will have a significant impact on effectiveness and efficiency of the related service delivery. This workshop will bring together technologists, researchers, medical professionals, policy makers and government to debate on the use of advances technologies in support of healthcare systems in local, rural and remote communities. These experts will discuss the current challenges in healthcare provision and plans in place for these communities.
