Foreword

The Workshop on Holistic Architecture for Privacy in Clouds, Edges, and IoT (HAP) focuses on research challenges related to data privacy in small- to large-scale computing platforms, placing more emphasis on a ”holistic” approach of innovative co-design of computer architecture, systems software, and formal verification. The workshop aims to foster collaboration and discussion among researchers and practitioners with different backgrounds; hardware architects, system software developers, and theorists. Current design of computer systems is horizontally divided and makes it harder to design safe and secure systems based on a vertical consistent view of the entire system from bare-metal hardware, firmware, hypervisors, operating systems, libraries, to applications. Guaranteeing privacy strongly demands an holistic approach because privacy will be compromised if there is a minor weak point in the entire stack from hardware to software; strong software on weak hardware cannot guarantee privacy and vice versa. The workshop seeks contributions on all aspects of data privacy and protection.

Paper Submission

Two types of papers are solicited:

1. Regular papers (8 pages max including references) presenting novel research contributions
2. Short papers (4 pages max including references) discussing new ideas, challenges, or visions related to the workshop topics.

The review process will adhere to a double-blind format, requiring authors to anonymize their submissions. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. All submissions must adhere to the IEEE conference format.

Papers will be submitted via EasyChair.
