The IEEE ICHMS 2025 will be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on 26-28 May 2025. The theme of the 2025 ICHMS is AI and Large Language Models: Transforming Human-Machine Interactions. The organization of ICHMS will include Regular Sessions, Special Sessions and sessions focused on PhD student research.

The main objective of this special issue is to cover progress and contributions on brain-inspired autonomous systems at multiple scales, including cognitive science, engineering, and design for safe and trusted human-autonomy teaming. This special issue aims to provide a platform for innovative research on technological aids for verifiable AI decisions, trust modeling, measures, and management, as well as addressing fundamental issues of trust and barriers to adoption of AI-enabled autonomy in complex socio-technical systems.

We are delighted to cordially invite you to attend the distinguished talk to be given by Prof. Mandar S. Jog, Director of the National Parkinson Foundation Centre of Excellence in Parkinson Disease and Movement Disorders Program at London Health Sciences Centre and a Professor of Neurology at Western University.

Segmentation of Tumour region in Lung CT Images, is the initial task of the 2018 VIP-Cup challenge. Segmentation (i.e., providing contour or bounding box) and Localization (i.e., a class label is supposed to be assigned to each pixel) are considered as the critical step within the Radiomics workflow, as typically Radiomics features are extracted from segmented sections. Although, manual delineation of the gross tumour is the conventional (standard) clinical approach, it is time consuming and extensively sensitive to inter-observer variability. Automatic and semi-automatic segmentation methods together with their ability to minimize manual error and increase consistency of delineating regions are of paramount importance.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: (1) Access control languages; (2) Computer and network security; (3) Code reverse engineering and vulnerability exploitation; (4) Computer and network security; (5)Security management and security policies; (6) Data mining & watermarking;(7) Distributed security protocols & policies; (8) Information theoretic security;(9) Formal foundations in information or operational security; (10) Policy-based security architectures;(11) Privacy & sensitive data management; (12) Security of big-data;(13) Policy-based distributed information systems; (14) Security of P2P systems; (15) Security & privacy in social networks; (16) Social engineering;(17) Security in sensor networks and RFIDs; (18) Cryptography & cryptanalysis;(19) Threat analysis and trust management; (20) Side channel & physical attacks; (21) Security of service-oriented architectures
