-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: TrustCol 2012 [Selected papers invited for COSE and IEEE TDSC] Datum: Thu, 21 Jun 2012 13:48:31 -0600 Von: Dongwan Shin <doshin(a)nmt.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu /*********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS The 7th IEEE International Workshop on Trusted Collaboration (TrustCol 2012) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. October 14, 2012 http://scl.cs.nmt.edu/trustcol12/ ***********************************************************************/ NEW FOR TRUSTCOL2012 -------------------- A best paper award will be given to the best paper of the workshop. In addition, authors of selected papers up to 5, including the author(s) of the best paper, will be invited to submit their extended versions of papers to either a special issue of Computers and Security (COSE) or IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC). SCOPE ----- The ongoing, rapid development in information technology has enabled significant opportunities for streamlining decision-making processes and maximizing productivity through distributed collaboration that facilitates unprecedented levels of sharing of computational and storage resources. Emerging collaborative environments need to provide efficient support for seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies such as mobile devices, web services, grid/cloud computing, online social networks, various operating environments, and diverse COTS products. Such heterogeneity introduces, however, significant security and privacy challenges for distributed collaboration. Balancing the competing goals of collaboration and security is difficult because interaction in collaborative systems is targeted towards making people, information, and resources available to all who need it whereas information security seeks to ensure the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of these elements while providing them only to those with proper trustworthiness. The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research in finding viable solutions to the security and privacy challenges faced by the current and future collaborative systems and infrastructures. We solicit unpublished research papers that address theoretical issues and practical implementations/experiences related to security and privacy solutions for collaborative systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Secure dynamic coalition environments - Privacy control in collaborative environments - Secure workflows for collaborative computing - Policy-based management of collaborative workspace - Secure middleware for large scale collaborative infrastructures - Security and privacy issues in mobile collaborative applications - Identity management for large scale collaborative infrastructures - Semantic web technologies for secure collaborative infrastructure - Trust models, trust negotiation/management for collaborative systems - Access control models and mechanisms for collaboration environments - Protection models and mechanisms for peer-to-peer collaborative environments - Delegation, accountability, and information flow control in collaborative applications - Intrusion detection, recovery and survivability of collaborative systems/infrastructures - Security of web services and grid technologies for supporting multidomain collaborative applications - Security and privacy challenges in cloud-based collaborative applications - Insider threats in collaborative systems IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: July 27, 2012 Acceptance Notification: August 24, 2012 Camera Ready Deadline: September 7, 2012 Workshop: October 14, 2012 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE -------------------- Research papers for TrustCol 2012 should be up to 8 pages in IEEE 2-column format. Please follow the instructions provided in the author's kit at http://scl.cs.nmt.edu/trustcol12. Submission of papers is through the EasyChair conference system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=trustcol2012. PUBLICATION ----------- This workshop is sponsored by IEEE and IEEE CS.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Mobile Computing and Vehicle Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 Datum: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 19:41:04 -0600 Von: Mea Wang <meawang(a)ucalgary.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile Computing and Vehicle Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 San Diego, Jan. 28-31, 2013 http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013 Advances in 3G, WiFi, and WiMax technologies have made mobile gadgets an increasingly popular means of Internet access. Deployment of 4G networks and releases of new smart phones and tablets will undoubtedly raise the demand for better signal coverage, faster transmission, and seamless adaptation. One emerging research direction is wireless access virtualization, in which a group of access points collaboratively provide the illusion of a single wide-coverage access point to simplify connection management on the client side. While enjoying the benefits of accessing information at any time from anywhere, data transmitted over the wireless medium are more susceptible to eavesdropping and packet sniffing. This raises the concerns for data authentication and privacy issues. These technical challenges are aggravated by the proliferation of various cloud services, social networking platforms, and smart connected vehicles. This symposium is devoted to covering original contributions in the design, development, and analysis of novel architectures, platforms, protocols, and applications in mobile computing and vehicle communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● Novel applications, and services for mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Architectures, platforms, and test beds of mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Performance characterization of mobile computing platforms ● User interfaces and systems design for mobile applications ● Mobile and/or vehicle ad hoc networks and sensor networks ● Wireless channel and media access control protocols ● Wireless access virtualization ● Resource management for heterogeneous access networks ● Service integration and inter-networking ● Practical solutions for security and privacy issues ● Analysis and solutions addressing scalability and reliability issues ● Novel mobility schemes and analysis of existing solutions ● Implementation of mobile IP and migration of IPv6 ● Cloud-assisted mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Quality of service for mobile or in-vehicle media and interactive applications ● Vehicular networking and communications for intelligent transportation system Submission Guidelines Please follow the author instructions at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/author.htm Paper submission link for this symposium can be found at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/cfp.htm Important Dates Submission Deadline: July 5, 2012 Author Notification: Sept 20, 2012 Camera-Ready Due: Oct 20, 2012 Symposium Co-chairs Mea Wang, University of Calgary, Canada (meawang(a)ucalgary.ca) Xiaoqing Zhu, Cisco Systems Inc., USA (zhuxq(a)alumni.stanford.edu) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
