[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] Submission Paper on contact tracing for COVID-19

by Qiang TANG

Dear All, I have prepared a paper on contact tracing for COVID-19. The paper has been made a report here (https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.13462) and I will submit it to a journal shortly. FYI. The title and abstract are the following: --------------------- Another Look at Privacy-Preserving Automated Contact Tracing In the current COVID-19 pandemic, manual contact tracing has been proven very helpful to reach close contacts of infected users and slow down virus spreading. To improve its scalability, a number of automated contact tracing (ACT) solutions have proposed and some of them have been deployed. Despite the dedicated efforts, security and privacy issues of these solutions are still open and under intensive debate. In this paper, we examine the ACT concept from a broader perspective, by focusing on not only security and privacy issues but also functional issues such as interface, usability and coverage. We first elaborate on these issues and particularly point out the inevitable privacy leakages in existing BLE-based ACT solutions. Then, we propose a venue-based ACT concept, which only monitors users' contacting history in virus-spreading-prone venues and is able to incorporate different location tracking technologies such as BLE and WIFI. Finally, we instantiate the venue-based ACT concept and show that our instantiation can mitigate most of the issues we have identified in our analysis. --------------------- Cheers Qiang

[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] Paper submitted to BISE (Springer)

by Raimundas Matulevicius

Dear all, I want to inform that we have submitted a paper to Journal of Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE, by Springer <https://www.springer.com/journal/12599>). If accepted we will acknowledge SPARTA project. Title of the article: Model-Driven GDPR Compliance Management in Business Processes Authors: Jake Tom, Raimundas Matulevicius, and Mari Seeba Abstract: Complying with the principles of the GDPR implies significant operational challenges. There is a need for tools and techniques to support analysis of complex textual bodies of regulations such as the GDPR. In this paper, we present a model-driven approach based on UML and BPMN to capture coarse-grained requirements of the GDPR along multiple perspectives - data protection impact assessment, data breach and organizational business process compliance. The models are used to develop templates of key report artifacts and provide insights into necessary compliance activities. By breaking down the regulation into modeled components, it becomes easier for practitioners to make sense of the regulation by reducing their need to process large bodies of regulation text. Additionally, the insights provided by the modeling approach to business process compliance highlight key areas of process improvement for compliance to the GDPR. The approach is supported by a software tool called the Data Protection Officer Tool. Best greetings, Raimundas

Dear All, We submitted Sparta/Safair relevant paper to Entropy journal of MDPI. Title: Can Humans Understand Machines? The Principles and Advantages of Explainable Artificial Intelligence By: Szczepanski, Choras, Pawlicki, Pawlicka. Abstract: Since its creation, Artificial Intelligence has found innumerable applications and become ubiquitous in everyday lives. Increasingly, intelligent systems are being trusted with decision making; from making unnoticeable, minor choices to determining people’s fates, e.g. as part of predictive policing. This fact raises serious concerns about the explainability of the systems, that is constructing the solutions is such a way that enables humans to comprehend their results. This paper introduces the concept of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (xAI), along with its principles and methodology. Then, it proposes the general taxonomy of the xAI solutions, followed by an overview of some of the market products that utilize it. If accepted we plan to acknowledge SPARTA. Kind Regards, Prof. Michal Choras

Dear All, we submitted the paper /dg2pix: Pixel-Based Visual Analysis of Dynamic Graphs/ to the Visualization in Data Science (VDS at IEEE VIS 2020). We request to acknowledge SPARTA if the paper is accepted. * Abstract: "Presenting long sequences of dynamic graphs remains challenging due to the underlying large-scale and high-dimensional data. We propose dg2pix, a novel pixel-based visualization technique, to visually explore temporal and structural properties in long sequences of large-scale graphs. The approach consists of three main steps: (1) the multiscale modeling of the temporal dimension; (2) unsupervised graph embeddings to learn low-dimensional representations of the dynamic graph data; and (3) an interactive pixel-based visualization to explore the evolving data at different temporal aggregation scales simultaneously. dg2pix provides a scalable overview of a dynamic graph, supports the exploration of long sequences of high-dimensional graph data, and enables the identification and comparison of similar temporal states. We show the applicability of the technique to synthetic and real-world datasets, demonstrating that temporal patterns in dynamic graphs can be easily identified and interpreted over time. Our dg2pix contributes a suitable intermediate representation between node-link diagrams at the high detail end, and matrix representations on the low detail end."

by Philippe Massonet

Dear, LEONARDO and CETIC submitted a joint paper to the CyberCert 2020 workshop that has been accepted for publication. The paper reports on joint work in WP11 and WP5 (CAPE) and acknowledges SPARTA. Title: Towards Incremental Safety and Security Requirements Co-Certification Authors: Morgagni Andrea, Massonet Philippe, Dupont Sébastien, Grandclaudon Jeremy Abstract: The continuous technological developments and the growing connectivity of applications and infrastructures is leading to the new threats to the technological world in particular to the possibility of considering certain threats in environments that were not previously touched by them. Now that many safety critical systems are becoming connected, they need to be protected from security threats. Safety and security engineering and certification evaluation are processes that have evolved independently. However now that security issues may impact safety they need to be analysed together, yet the processes must become more flexible to encourage certification when it is not mandatory. In this paper we sketch an approach for incremental certification of security requirements with Common Criteria in the general context of security/safety co-engineering and certification. The approach is illustrated with a case study.

Dear All, we submitted the paper /Multiscale Snapshots: Visual Analysis of Temporal Summaries in Dynamic Graphs/ to the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG). We request to acknowledge SPARTA if the paper is accepted. * Abstract: "The overview-driven visual analysis of large-scale dynamic graphs poses a major challenge. We propose Multiscale Snapshots, a visual analytics approach to analyze temporal summaries of dynamic graphs at multiple temporal scales. First, we recursively generate temporal summaries to abstract overlapping sequences of graphs into compact snapshots. Second, we apply graph embeddings to the snapshots to learn low-dimensional representations of each sequence of graphs to speed up specific analytical tasks (e.g., similarity search). Third, we visualize the evolving data from a coarse to fine-granular snapshots to semi-automatically analyze temporal states, trends, and outliers. The approach enables to discover similar temporal summaries (e.g., recurring states), reduces the temporal data to speed up automatic analysis, and to explore both structural and temporal properties of a dynamic graph. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach by a quantitative evaluation and the application to a real-world dataset."
