Rituparna Chaki - Advanced Computing and Systems for Security: Volume 13

The series Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems publishes the latest developments in Networks and Systemsquickly, informally and with high quality. Original research reported in proceedings and post-proceedings represents the core of LNNS.

Volumes published in LNNS embrace all aspects and subfields of, as well as new challenges in, Networks and Systems.

The series contains proceedings and edited volumes in systems and networks, spanning the areas of Cyber-Physical Systems, Autonomous Systems, Sensor Networks, Control Systems, Energy Systems, Automotive Systems, Biological Systems, Vehicular Networking and Connected Vehicles, Aerospace Systems, Automation, Manufacturing, Smart Grids, Nonlinear Systems, Power Systems, Robotics, Social Systems, Economic Systems and other. Of particular value to both the contributors and the readership are the short publication timeframe and the world-wide distribution and exposure which enable both a wide and rapid dissemination of research output.

The series covers the theory, applications, and perspectives on the state of the art and future developments relevant to systems and networks, decision making, control, complex processes and related areas, as embedded in the fields of interdisciplinary and applied sciences, engineering, computer science, physics, economics, social, and life sciences, as well as the paradigms and methodologies behind them.

Indexed by SCOPUS, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, SCImago.

All books published in the series are submitted for consideration in Web of Science.

This book collects the deeply revised version of papers accepted for oral presentation at the Eighth International Doctoral Symposium on Applied Computation and Security Systems (ACSS 2021). ACSS 2021 took place in Kolkata, India, during April 910, 2021. The Doctoral Symposium was organized by the University of Calcutta in collaboration with Ca Foscari University of Venice, Italy, and Bialystok University of Technology, Poland.

This unique symposium is aimed specially to facilitate budding researchers in pursuing their doctoral degree. Each contributed paper was required to have at least one enrolled Ph.D. student as one of the authors. This has given an opportunity to each Ph.D. student to express their innovative ideas and discuss them with a qualified scientific community of peers.

Over the years, the overall quality of the papers submitted to ACSS has been improving dramatically, and their subjects reflect and somehow anticipate the emerging research trends in the area of applied computation and security. In the call for papers listed, the following topics of interest are related to Applied Computation: Security Systems, Software Engineering, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Computer Vision and Algorithms.

The editors are greatly indebted to the members of the international program committee for sharing their expertise and complete their careful review of the papers in due time. Their reviews have allowed the authors not only to improve their articles but also to get new hints toward the completion of their Ph.D. thesis.

The dissemination initiatives from Springer have drawn a large number of high-quality submissions from scholars primarily but not exclusively from India. ACSS used a double-blind review process, and each paper received at least three reviews either from the PC members or by external reviewers. The reviewers mainly considered the technical quality and the originality of each paper. As ACSS is a doctoral symposium, special emphasis was given to assess the clarity of presentation. The entire process of paper submission, review and acceptance process was done online. After carefully considering the reviews, the Program Committee selected only 27 papers for publication out of 45 submissions.
