Title: Secure Connected and Autonomous Vehicles: Research Trends and Challenges

Abstract: Automotives are evolving into large-scale smart devices connected to the Internet, and the self-driving functionalities in these vehicles are dramatically changing the mobility of users. However, new security threats not considered in existing vehicles are emerging behind this convenience. In particular, the diverse connectivity of automobiles, including the Internet, provides critical attack surfaces to which hackers can gain malicious access. Moreover, autonomous vehicles that take over control from humans require higher safety and security criteria because even minor security flaws or malfunctions can cause accidents with significant human casualties. In this talk, we will introduce the convenience of the recently evolving Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) and investigate the risks of cyber attacks accompanying such advantages. In addition, we analyze essential cyber security research trends to mitigate these cyber risks and discuss the development direction of cyber security perspectives for CAVs.

Title: Toward Human-friendly Information System Design

Abstract: As network technology advances, it is imperative to consider the end users' experiences when designing and implementing network infrastructure. The focus on human-friendly information system design is gaining popularity, a trend we should take seriously. With the increasing complexity of network infrastructure, it is easy to overlook the human characteristics of the design process. Designing systems that are easy to use and understand benefits end users. This talk provides an overview of information system design and its examples.
