Scope
----------

The extensive use of information and communication technologies led to the development of various new concepts and paradigms, such as the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence. Such concepts are used today in every environment, business, or private with the purpose of rising business efficiency, development of new services, and optimization of a business process. In such an ecosystem of interconnected elements and advanced communication between humans and machines, a great challenge is to achieve and retain the required level of security and privacy.

FABULOUS 2021 is held under the theme Security of innovative services and infrastructure in traffic/transport/logistic ecosystem. The event aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of innovative and sustainable solutions for ubiquitous and intelligent communication infrastructures.
