-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [TCCC] CFP - IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Securing Voiceover IP - deadline 10/15/2005 Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 23:48:26 -0700 From: Dipak Ghosal <ghosal(a)cs.ucdavis.edu> Reply-To: dghosal(a)ucdavis.edu Organization: University of California, Davis To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: 'Ram Dantu' <rdantu(a)unt.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Securing Voice over IP http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/cfpnetwork3Q06.htm http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/special.html Voice over IP (VoIP) is a key enabling technology for the migration of circuit-switched PSTN architectures to packet-based networks. Long distance carriers are transporting voice traffic using this technology. Businesses and enterprises of all shapes and sizes are deploying VoIP in their network; it is estimated that by 2007 IP based PBXs (IPPBXs) deployments will outnumber the traditional PBX deployments. VoIP services are also being offered to residential customers. As a result, VoIP is rapidly becoming the primary underlying architecture for a very critical infrastructure namely, the telecommunication network. However, there has been a significant lag in understanding, identifying, and resolving the security issues in VoIP. Security issues in VoIP are different and in ways more complex than security for data applications. IP telephony, for example, is a complex application involving multiple layers of the protocol stack, requiring interoperability among different new and legacy protocols, and interactions among multiple network elements. Existing vulnerabilities including eavesdropping, connection hijacking, call fraud, and denial-of-service will take on new forms in a converged network. Other new vulnerabilities may be able to exploit the signaling and media connections between the two types of networks. Voice services over wireless LANs (VoWLAN) may create additional vulnerabilities. Detailed vulnerability analysis of the protocols both in isolation as well as in conjunction with others they interact with in the converged networks is required to develop appropriate countermeasures. Moreover, VoIP networks are prone to virus and worm spreading through their data network elements. While some solutions have already been proposed for vulnerabilities in protocols such as SIP and H.323, more needs to be done. These include encryption of signaling messages and media to address man-in-the-middle attack. Session Border Controllers are gaining acceptance as voice perimeter controllers in contrast to firewalls for data services. But these devices themselves are prone to attacks. The goal of this special issue is to bring out the security issues addressed and the new challenges that arise from the new protocols, new network elements and the interactions between these and legacy system (e.g., the SS7 network). The set of articles in this special issue will create a forum for researchers, developers and practitioners to publish the key challenges and disseminate the state-of-the-art techniques in VoIP security. Scope of Contributions In this special issue we intend to present tutorials, survey and original research articles written in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists. The special issue will attempt to cover all aspects of the VoIP security issues related to the architecture, the protocols, and the applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): . Enterprise and carrier network architectures for secured VoIP . Security issues in peer-to-peer VoIP systems . Cross-layer security architecture . Carrier peering and Session Border Control . Security issues with NAT traversal mechanisms . Vulnerabilities in VoIP protocols such SIP, H.323, MGCP and RTP . End-user and hop-by-hop authentication techniques . QoS impacts due to security implementations . SPAM and DoS attacks . Securing interconnections with SS7 networks . Securing voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) Manuscript Submission Authors should submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF format via email to one of the guest editors. With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html Important Dates Paper submission deadline: October 15, 2005 Feedback to authors: February 15, 2005 Final manuscript to publisher: May 1, 2006 Publication of completed special issue: 3Q 2006 Guest Editors Prof. Ram Dantu Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of North Texas P.O.

The demand for high bandwidth network infrastructures is continuously growing within both academic and industrial sectors. Grid computing is one of the many examples of the *new emerging paradigm of networking* characterized by huge data traffic flows, that require an extremely high-performance network infrastructure. The need of high speed is emerging also in mobile, wireless network environments, where new wireless technologies promise data rates above 100 Mbps. Other high bandwidth network examples include community access networks, on demand optical networks and the *Next Generation Internet. * To meet these challenges, experimental activities on infrastructures, such as testing, verification, deployment, are pivotal for academic researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users. The management of research infrastructures is increasingly dependent on a business model that optimizes their operational price/performance ratio. For example, access to experimental infrastructures for real-life applications by specific user communities would benefit all the stakeholders involved: the end users, because of the experimental evaluation of the provided services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge gained from case-study analysis, and the infrastructure managers, because of the business exploitation of the network. . *Research on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management will find in Tridentcom its primary forum for focused discussion. * High quality papers reporting on original research and on experiment results addressing the above areas are solicited for submission. The main topics of the conference are: * Next Generation Internet Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds Ubiquitous Network Testbeds * Wireless Sensor Testbeds * Testbed Operation & Management for User Communities * Testbed Operation & Management for Research Communities * Testbed Cooperation & Integration * Innovative Measurements Methodologies & Tools * Traffic Measurements Testbeds * Software Tools to Support Distributed Testbeds / Virtual Laboratories * Management of Massive Databases of Experimental Data * Knowledge & Technology Transfer Procedures * Security (AAA) Testing on Open Testbeds * Social Impacts of Infrastructures * Infrastructure Real-Life Applications * Business Models for Infrastructure Budgeting & Planning * Infrastructure Renting & Pricing Policies * Vendors & Providers Partnerships *Important Dates* *Full papers due: * *October 15* *, 2005* *Notification of acceptance: **November 30* *, 2005* *Camera-ready manuscript due: **December 31* *, 2005* *Early registration deadline:** * *January 30, 2006* *Conference date:** * *March 1-3, 2006* *Best Testbed Award * ** A Best Testbed Award will be assigned to the research infrastructure that will best implement the open infrastructure model, so that to offer the greatest valuable service to the public, and the most sustainable business model to the infrastructure managers.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Inter-vehicular Communications Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2005 16:56:32 +0800 From: Daniel Wong <daniel_wong(a)ieee.org> Reply-To: Daniel Wong <daniel_wong(a)ieee.org> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Sorry if you receive multiple copies of this CFP regardsDaniel Wong -----------------------------------Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Inter-Vehicular Communications"(pdf version of this CFP is available athttp://www.3g-wireless.net/IVC-CFP.pdf ) Wireless communications technologies (cellular phones, wireless LANs,etc.) have enabled many of the conveniences in our lives, and alsoincreased our day by day productivity. Another area where there ismuch potential for wireless technologies to make a tremendous impactis the area of inter-vehicular communications (IVC). The field of IVCis also known as vehicle-to-vehicle communications (V2V) and vehicularad hoc networks (VANET). There are numerous emerging applications that are unique to thevehicular setting. For example, safety applications would makedriving safer; driver information services could intelligently informdrivers about congestion, businesses and services in the vicinity ofthe vehicle, and other news. Mobile commerce could extend to therealm of vehicles. Existing forms of entertainment may penetrate thevehicular domain, and new forms of entertainment may emerge, allsupported by the inter-vehicular communications capabilities. Theseemerging services are currently not well supported. Numerous research challenges need to be addressed in order forinter-vehicular communications to be widely deployed. The combinationof unique features of inter-vehicular applications and networkingopens new opportunities for many interesting research areas. Thecommunications networking between cars has different characteristicsfrom other communications networking problems. For example, becauseof the rapidly changing topology as cars move around, there aresimilarities with ad hoc networking scenarios. However, theconstraints and optimizations are different. Power efficiency is notas important for inter-vehicular communications as it is fortraditional ad hoc networking, since vehicles have a powerful andrechargeable source of energy. Vehicles in general are alsoconstrained to move within roads (and within lanes most of the time). The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the variety ofresearch being conducted in IVC and survey the state-of-the-art inthis field. We solicit original unpublished manuscripts not currentlybeing considered elsewhere for publication. Topics of interestinclude, but are not limited to, the following: • Service creation and management• Vehicular communications applications in general• Navigation safety applications• Content distribution to vehicles• Vehicle data collection and harvesting• Role of IVC in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)• Link and physical layer issues, algorithms and protocols• Cross-layer protocol design• Network architectures, system architectures• Inter-working of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructurecommunications• Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc.• Vehicle movement simulation• Security for IVC• Network management for IVC• Mobility management Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a stylecomprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Allsubmissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, no more than 6tables/figures, and no more than 15 references.
