ARTMAN 2024, workshop co-located with ACSAC 2024 (December 9, 2024 -- Waikiki)

Overview

This workshop aims at bringing together academic researchers and industrial practitioners from different domains with diverse expertise (mainly security & privacy and machine learning, but also from application domains) to collectively explore and discuss the topics about resilient and trustworthy machine learning-powered applications and systems, share their views, experiences, and lessons learned, and provide their insights and perspectives, so as to converge on a systematic approach to securing them.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Threat modeling and risk assessment of ML systems and applications in intelligent systems, including, but not limited to, anomaly detection, failure prediction, root cause analysis, incident diagnosis
• Data-centric attacks and defenses of ML systems and applications in intelligent systems, such as model evasion via targeted perturbations in testing samples, data poisoning in training examples
• Adversarial machine learning, including adversarial examples of input data and adversarial learning algorithms developed for intelligent systems
• ML robustness: testing, simulation, verification, validation, and certification of robustness of ML pipelines (not only ML algorithms and models) in intelligent systems, including but not limited to data-centric analytics, model-driven methods, and hybrid methods
• AI system safety: dependability topics related to AI system development and deployment environments, including hardware, ML platform and framework, software
• Trust in AI systems and applications, this mainly explores the trust issues arising from the interactions between human users and AI systems (e.g., Man-Machine Symbiosis, Human-Machine Teaming), with a particular focus on interpretable, explainable, accountable, transparent, and fair AI systems and applications in intelligent systems
• Resilience by reaction: Leveraging AI/ML algorithms, especially knowledge-informed models, to improve resilience and trust of intelligent systems

Submission Guidelines

• Submissions should be 6-10 pages excluding references and appendices, using double-column IEEE template available here with \documentclass[conference,compsoc]{IEEEtran}. 5 additional pages can be used for references and well-referenced appendices. Note that the reviewers are not expected to read these appendices.
• All submissions must be anonymous, i.e., author names and affiliations should not be included. Authors can cite their work but must do so in the third person.
• Accepted workshop papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS), see below.

Important Dates

• September 15, 2024: Submission Deadline (extended)
• October 20, 2024: Acceptance Notification
• November 1, 2024: Camera-Ready Paper Submission Deadline
• December 9, 2024: Workshop

Publication

Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and will appear in the Computer Society Digital Library and IEEE Xplore® in an ACSAC Workshops 2024 volume alongside the main ACSAC 2024 proceedings. ACSAC is currently transitioning to technical sponsorship by IEEE Computer Society's Technical Community on Security and Privacy (TCSP) and expect approval before the proceedings are compiled.

Visa Request for Workshop Participants

ACSAC is being held in the US, so participants from outside the US may require a visa to travel to the conference and workshops. Since the US visa process varies based on nationality, we would like to inform any author submitting work to ARTMAN to request a visa letter in advance by following the instructions found here. Authors outside the US should apply for a visa letter in anticipation of their work being accepted. However, the visa letter does not indicate that their work will be accepted in the workshop. It is to remediate the potential delay and last-minute requests that can impact their travel plans. We also encourage the organizers to make a decision on accepting papers as soon as possible to give authors requiring a visa to the US time to process one.
