The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) – has been known
worldwide as one of the longest standing scientific communities in the
information systems and technology fields. Since 1968, it has become a
respected destination that attracts high-caliber scholars and professionals in
academia, industry and government agencies around the world to discuss their
cutting-edge research. The objective of this minitrack is to increase the visibility of current research and emergent trends in Cyber-Assurance theory, application, embedded security, and machine-learning for the Internet of Things (IoT), software-defined networks (SDN)/network function virtualization (NFV), Edge computing, and Fog computing architectures based on theoretical aspects and studies of practical applications. The target audience of this mini-track will be composed of researchers, professionals, and students working in the field of cyber-security, wireless technologies, information system theory, systems engineering, information security architecture, and security system design along with university professors and researchers involved in information assurance, cyber-security, IoT, SDN/NFV, and Fog computing related security computing. </font></div><div><font size="2" face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font size="2" face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">This mini-track will focus on the security needs of these environments, highlighting key issues, identifying the associated security implications so that the general participants can readily grasp the core ideas in this area of research. Recommended topics for this track include, but are not limited to, the following:</font></div><div>
