-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP=>JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE for Medium Access Control for WLANs, WPANs, Ad Hoc Networks, and Sensor Networks Date: Sun, 2 May 2004 11:55:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Yang Xiao <yangxiao_acm(a)yahoo.com> Reply-To: yangxiao(a)ieee.org To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing Special Issue Announcement Medium Access Control for WLANs, WPANs, Ad Hoc Networks, and Sensor Networks http://www.cs.memphis.edu/~yxiao/IJWMC_CFP.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest Editors Dr. Yang Xiao, The University of Memphis, USA Email: yangxiao(a)ieee.org Dr. Kui Wu, University of Victoria, Canada Email: wkui(a)cs.uvic.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The recent evolution and successful development of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), Ad Hoc Networks, and Sensor Networks have yielded a demand to improve the Medium Access Control (MAC) Layer. The key goals of this improvement include Quality of Service (QoS) support mechanisms, efficient channel access mechanisms, and energy saving mechanisms, etc. The effort to improve the MAC layer is linked with many technical challenges including compatibility with legacy networks, complexity in implementation, and practical values in real market, etc. The need to address QoS support, MAC enhancement, and energy saving and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the MAC layer of these networks establishes the motivation behind this special issue. This special issue focuses on the novel and practical ways to improve the MAC layer protocols in terms of QoS support, channel access, and energy saving for WLANs, WPANs, Ad Hoc Networks, and Sensor Networks. Papers that do not focus on the MAC layer will not be reviewed. Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to): Quality of Service support in the MAC layer Channel access protocols in the MAC layer Energy efficiency in the MAC layer The manuscripts should be submitted as an e-mail attachment in PDF format to Yang Xiao at yangxiao(a)memphis.edu. If the file is larger than 1MB, the authors are encouraged to use WINZIP. Submitted papers must not be previously published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers should not exceed 6000 words or 12 single spaced pages in IEEE Transactions style. If email submission is impossible then six (6) copies of the paper should be sent by the due date to: Prof. Yang Xiao Computer Science Division The University of Memphis 373 Dunn Hall Memphis, TN 38152. USA Email: yangxiao(a)memphis.edu. Fax: (901) 678-2480 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates: · Submission deadline: Oct. 1, 2004 · Notification of conditional acceptance: Feb. 1, 2005 · Submission of final version and revision report: Mar. 1, 2005 · Notification of final acceptance: Mar. 15, 2005 · Publication of special issue: Issue 6 of 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Workshop on Wireless Security (WiSe) - in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2004 Date: Sat, 1 May 2004 19:30:24 +0200 From: Srdjan Capkun <srdan.capkun(a)epfl.ch> To: <itc(a)comsoc.org> (Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.) Call for Papers with submission deadline Workshop on Wireless Security (WiSe) (Pending Approval by ACM and ACM SIGMOBILE) in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2004 1 October 2004 Philadelphia, PA http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~adrian/wise2004 Sponsored by SIGMOBILE The third workshop on Wireless Security will be held in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2004. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from research communities in wireless networking, security, applied cryptography, and dependability; with the goal of fostering interaction. With the proliferation of wireless networks, issues related to secure and dependable operation of such networks are gaining importance. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Trust establishment * Key management in wireless/mobile environments * Economic incentives for collaboration * Security modeling and protocol design in the context of rational/malicious adversaries * Light-weight cryptography, efficient protocols and implementations * Intrusion detection, detection of malicious behaviour * Revocation of malicious parties * Secure PHY/MAC/routing protocols * Secure location determination * Denial of service * Privacy (location, contents, actions) * Anonymity, prevention of traffic analysis * Dependable wireless networking * Monitoring and surveillance Awards We gratefully acknowledge funding from RSA Security to sponsor two awards of $500 each: one for best paper and one for best student paper. Paper submission instructions: Submission of papers based on work-in-progress is encouraged. Submitted papers must not be previously published elsewhere or currently under review for any other publication. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PostScript or Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their paper. Papers must meet the following restrictions: No longer than 10 pages (single or double column); in font no smaller than 11 points; must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Instructions for electronic submission of papers will be posted at http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~adrian/wise2004/submission.html Important dates: Paper submission deadline: June 14, 2004 Notification of acceptance: August 2, 2004 Camera-ready papers due: August 16, 2004 Workshop date: October 1, 2004 Workshop Co-Chairs: * Adrian Perrig, Carnegie Mellon University (perrig(a)cmu.edu) * Markus Jakobsson, RSA Laboratories (mjakobsson(a)rsasecurity.com) Program Committee: Ari Juels, RSA Laboratories Bill Arbaugh, University of Maryland Brian DeCleene, Alphatech Brian Van Leeuwen, Sandia National Laboratories Douglas Maughan, DHS / HSARPA Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Leendert van Doorn, IBM Research Nitin Vaidya, University of Illinois Radha Poovendran, University of Washington Susanne Wetzel, Stevens Institute of Technology Taieb Znati, NSF and University of Pittsburgh Wade Trappe, Rutgers University Wenke Lee, Georgia Institute of Technology Yair Amir, Johns Hopkins University Publicity Co-Chairs: Ari Juels, RSA Laboratories Srdjan Capkun, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Publication Chair: Saad Biaz, Auburn University Treasurer Yongguang Zhang, HRL Labs and UT-Austin
