-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley’s Security and Communication Networks Journal, Special Issue on Security and Privacy Preservation in Vehicular Communications Datum: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 02:03:15 -0500 Von: Basem Shihada <bshihada(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: Pin-Han Ho <pinhan(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca>, bshihada(a)uwaterloo.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Wiley's Security and Communication Networks Journal Special Issue on Security and Privacy Preservation in Vehicular Communications Aims & Goals The advancement and wide deployment of wireless communication technologies have revolutionized human's lifestyles by providing the best convenience and flexibility ever in accessing the Internet services and various types of personal communication applications. Recently, car manufacturers and telecommunication industries gear up to equip each car with the latest technologies. The main vision is safety and commercial applications, enabled by short to medium range communication systems and/or networks (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside). In spite of the numerous value-added application scenarios, the VANETs (Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks) come with their own set of challenges, especially in the aspects of security and privacy preservation. It is obvious that any malicious behavior of users, such as a modification and replay attack with respect to the disseminated messages, could be fatal to the other users. In addition, the issues on VANET security become more challenging due to the unique features of such network scenarios, including the high-speed mobility/large amount of network entities (i.e., the vehicles). Furthermore, conditional privacy preservation must be achieved in the sense that the user related privacy information, including the driver's name, the license plate, speed, position, and traveling routes along with their relationships, has to be protected; while the authorities should be able to reveal the identities of message senders in the event of a traffic dispute, such as a crime/car accident scene investigation. Therefore, it is critical to develop a suite of elaborated and carefully designed security mechanisms for achieving security, conditional privacy preservation, and efficient IVC authentication in a VANET before it can be practically launched. Scope of Contributions Motivated by the above observations, this special issue is organized to accommodate the most state-of-the-art proposals and research studies on achieving secure and privacy-preserving vehicular communications. In particular, the research papers of the following topics (but not limited to) are highly solicited: · Security features in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) · New/existing communication protocol/technology architecture for VANETs · Location privacy preservation/ secure positioning · Security in Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) · Power adjustment and topology control in VANETs · Authentication and key management for Inter-Vehicle Communications (IVCs) · Security trust model and threat models for VANETs · Secure network middleware and protocol design for VANETs · Commercial and industrial security services in VANETs · VANETs on Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems · Anomaly detection and compromised node revocation in VANETs Submission Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered in this special issue. All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security). Prospective authors should submit their paper online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the Manuscript type as "Special Issue", enter the "Running Head" and the "Special Issue title" as "SCN-SI-004" and "VANET Security", respectively.

[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue of Computer Networks on Traffic classification and its applications to modern networks
by Antonio Pescape' 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ================================================================= Call for Papers Special Issue of Computer Networks on Traffic classification and its applications to modern networks The evolution of the Internet in the last few years has been characterized by dramatic changes to the way users behave, interact and utilize the network. The research community and many network operators are responding to these changes by designing and deploying traffic measurement and classification architectures of increasing complexity. In fact, the observation of network traffic is at the core of many fundamental network research, operation and maintenance activities, such as the implementation of Quality of Service guarantees, traffic engineering, intrusion prevention and detection. However, the rapid introduction of new categories of applications such as network games and peer-to-peer, the increasing presence of malicious traffic, and the widespread use of encryption techniques, make the measurement, analysis and classification of Internet traffic a challenging task. The research community is therefore asked to tackle traffic classification issues by focusing on the design of novel algorithms capable of overcoming the limitations of packet inspection techniques, which are quickly becoming ineffective. Similarly, new distributed classification architectures and realtime traffic classification platforms must be defined to cope with current and future high-speed networks. Finally, the importance of preserving the users privacy and the need to reduce the amount of traffic that is collected, stored and processed are increasingly seen as some of the major issues that are limiting the progress in this area of research. ------------------ Scope of Contributions --------------- This issue is devoted to cutting-edge research achievements in the area of traffic classification, dealing with topics such as novel classification techniques, data privacy, distributed classification architectures, and emerging applications of traffic classifiers. We solicit papers that present original and unpublished work on topics including, but not limited to, the following: Traffic classification algorithms and techniques Platforms for on-line, real-time traffic classification Comparisons among traffic classification techniques Privacy-preserving classification techniques Identification and classification of encrypted traffic Impact of sampling on network traffic classification Applications of traffic classification Data-reduction techniques for traffic traces Anonymization tools and their effects on traffic classification Interfaces and architectures for the storage of traffic traces ------------------- Manuscript Submission ----------- Prospective authors are invited to prepare their papers according to the Guide to Authors available at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit to http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing Article Type: SI-Traffic Classification.

by Yonghe Liu 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

[Apologies for multiple posting] 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08 23 June, Newport Beach, CA, USA in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2008 (http://wowmom08.ics.uci.edu/) CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- Wireless networks represent a challenging and ever growing research area. In these systems the interactions among the different network layers are very complex and their effects on the overall performance are not easy to accurately identify. Additionally, many simplifying assumptions considered in analytical studies do not hold in practise. Experimental activities involving the development of systems and device prototypes and the collection and analysis of measurements from actual networks can provide insight on the behaviour of such systems in realistic environments, which can be beneficial for understanding how cross-layer interactions impact in practise the overall performance, for deriving realistic simulation models, for analyzing particular phenomena and evaluating algorithms and protocols, and for exploring the design choices in building actual wireless networks. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of these networks. After successful events in the last years, EXPONWIRELESS 2008 aims to again bring together all the aspects related to experimental activities on wireless networks, creating a forum where researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, current requirements, and future visions, that are important for the development of new protocols, algorithms, devices and systems. High quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities on wireless networks are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to): * Algorithms for self-configuration and self-management of beyond-3G systems * Deployment and experience with multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks * Device prototypes for wireless BANs, PANs, LANs, and MANs * Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks * Energy-efficient protocols and power management algorithms * Experiences/lessons from recent wireless testbed deployments * Handoff and mobility management in beyond-3G systems * Location-aware services * Middleware platforms for wireless/mobile environments * Mobility models of wireless/mobile networks and systems * Positioning and tracking technologies * Power control and channel assignment * Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems * QoS for real-time voice/video in wireless networks * Seamless internetworking and architectures for beyond 3G systems * Systems and methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in wireless networks * Security and privacy issues in wireless networks * Wireless/Mobile applications and services (e.g., vehicular networks, underwater networks, opportunistic networks, etc.) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Submitted manuscripts should adhere to the IEEE double-column standard format with 10pt font size for texts. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 5 pages. This limit includes figures, appendix, bibliography, etc. Papers significantly exceeding this limit will be automatically rejected. All papers must be submitted in PDF format using the ISAS Conference Manager http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08/ISAS/ . Any question can be submitted to exponwireless08(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2008 workshop proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- - Submission Deadline: January 28, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: March 08, 2008 - Camera-ready Papers Due: April 4, 2008 WORKSHOP CO-ORGANIZERS ---------------------- Ling-Jyh Chen, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Rosario G.

[Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this cfp] *** PAPER SUBMISSION EXTENDED to January 11 2008 *** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --- POLICY 2008 --- 2008 IEEE International Workshop on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks 2-4 June 2008 Palisades, NY, USA http://www.policy-workshop.org/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The policy workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on policy-based systems across a wide range of application areas including policy-based networking, privacy and security management, storage area networking, and enterprise systems. POLICY 2008 is the 9th in a series of successful workshops which since 1999 have provided a forum for discussion and collaboration between researchers, developers and users of policy-based systems. This year, in addition to the latest research results from the communities working in any area of policy-based management and computing, we encourage contributions on policy-based techniques in support of management and security of all types of wireless networks: cellular, Wi-Fi, Mobile Ad Hoc, hybrids, etc. POLICY 2008 invites unpublished novel contributions on all aspects of policy-based management. This year, as part of the technical program we also plan a special session devoted to the demonstrations of innovative policy based systems. Papers must describe original work and must not have been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers will be evaluated for technical contribution, originality, and significance. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: POLICY MODELS AND LANGUAGES: * Abstract models and languages for policy specification * Representing policies in XML, RDF, and OWL * Semantic Web rule languages for policy reasoning * Policy standards, their extensions and refinements * Formal semantics of policies * Relationships between policies in IT processes and devices or across multiple applications * Methodologies/tools for discovering, specifying, analyzing, refining, evaluating and visualizing policy * Models of policy negotiation * Representation of belief, trust, and risk in policies POLICY APPLICATIONS: * Application of policies for autonomic computing, QoS adaptation, and security * Application of policies for identity and privacy management * Business rules and organizational modeling * Identity management * Personalization * Risk adaptive policy systems * Database policies * Policy applications in on-demand, utility based computing * Resource virtualization and policy-based collaboration * Case studies of applying policy-based management POLICIES IN WIRELESS NETWORKS: * Service management in mobile ad hoc networks * Policy systems for small devices * Policy-based spectrum management * Privacy and security * Policies in location based services * Context-aware policies in pervasive and mobile computing ------------------------------------------------ PAPER or DEMO SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------ Papers under review elsewhere must NOT be submitted to Policy 2008. Paper or demo submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their technical merit and novelty. For System Demo, of particular interest are systems that illustrate research contributions and innovative applications of policy based technologies. Policy 2008 invites contributions in the form of either: * Technical papers (max. length 8 pages). * Short position papers describing preliminary systems or experimental results (max. length 4 pages).
