Context data of a physical environment is being collected by sensors, digitally processed as well as stored, and as a result processes and flows of this physical environment are controlled. However, social infrastructures are threatened by crime, terrorism, and natural disasters.A lesson learned from latest dramatically unwanted interference - Great East Japan Earthquake and its consequences - is that Cyber-physical systems cannot be protected against failures. There is always the possibility of an unexpected interference that breaks the assumptions of current risk management guidelines and standards. Resilience aims at an equilibrium of a system in case of interferences. It is not only understood in terms of resistance against threats and attacks (prevent and protect) but also in terms of the ability to mitigate them (respond). The affected system should still deliver trusted services in an hostile environment. A resilient Cyber-physical system consists of numerous components, such as sensors, working with each other in a decentralised way such that when some components fail, the system as a whole dynamically uses equivalent ones and runs the expected service continuously while at the same time fulfilling security requirements at an acceptable degree. Objective The workshop focuses on identifying open research questions and discussing mechanisms to establish this property. Additionally to accepted articles and their presentations, we plan to offer a combined demo, poster and video session to foster hands-on experience, discussion and collaboration among participants. Each full paper session focuses on papers with solid research results. Topics The topics of the workshop are but not limited to [Context-based Security Mechanisms] - Context-based mobile wireless authentication - Context-based device pairing - Securing context-aware applications - Sensor-, context-, and location-based authentication - Spontaneous secure context-based device interactions - Cyber-physical security [Autonomic and Dependable Computing] - Methods and Techniques for Self-Configuration, Self-Healing, Self-Protecting - Distributed Systems and Agents - Flexible and Secure Orchestration of ICT Services - Trustworthy Organic Computing [Privacy in Cyber-physical Systems] - Establishing and managing trust in cyber physical systems - Anonymous/pseudonymous context aware mobile computation - Legal and social issues of security and privacy for mobile devices - Perception of security and privacy in mobile computing [Resilient Cryptography] - Entropy of context based keys - Fuzzy cryptography - Security with noisy data We are seeking unpublished and original submissions in PDF format. Submission should follow the ARCS workshop template and not exceed 6 pages. The review process is double blind and authors are asked to remove any indication to their identity from their submission. Important dates Paper submission deadline: December 01, 2011 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2011 Final paper submission: January 03, 2012 Workshop: February 28, 2012 Workshop chairs Stephan Sigg, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan Sven Wohlgemuth, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan Program Committee - Matthias Budde, KIT, Germany - Alexander de Luca, Universität München, Germany - Isao Echizen, National Institute of Informatics, Japan - Yusheng Ji, NII, Japan - Sjouke Mauw, Universite du Luxemburg, Luxembourg - Günter Müller, Albert-Ludwig University Freiburg, Germany - Kazuhiro Minami, National Institute of Informatics, Japan - Klaus Rechert, University of Freiburg, Germany - Stefan Sackmann, Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany - Sebastian Schildt, TU Braunschweig, Germany - Noboru Sonehara, National Institute of Informatics, Japan - Eran Toch, Tel Aviv University, Israel - Jin Wook Byun, Pyecngtaek University, Korea - Mi Zhang, University of Southern California, US - Rui Zhou, University of Electronic Science and Technology, China _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Call for Papers: Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" - Elsevier FGCS (Deadline Extended, November 13)
by Mario Fanelli 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/future Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality because of the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). At the current stage, after the initial hype of enthusiasm, several ongoing research efforts are deeply focusing on the open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditabi- lity, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to enable and boost a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite several recent provisioning of Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions can withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services de/activation and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The mission of this Special Issue is to put on the foreground all the above issues and to disseminate the latest research result in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in management of Cloud systems. Along that direction, this special issue will collect a mix of extended and updated versions of papers recently presented at the international Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011), and of other papers submitted from this open call. In particular, all the authors of papers accepted for inclusion in the MoCS11 proceedings are invited to submit extended versions of their workshop papers; in addition, we are asking for high-quality papers (from open call) reporting original research results. Contributions should present practical experiences of system design/pro- totyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost- effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centers (intra-/inter-domain); * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies; * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings. Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at: http://www.elsevier.com/ wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505611/authorinstructions Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:03:19 +0300 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: -Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks -Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks -Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors -Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks -Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks -Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage -Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks -Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime -Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks -Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks -Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks - Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Tentative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Universita di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Reactive WSN" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
