-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Security and Communication Networks Journal: Special Issue on "Security in a Completely Interconnected World" (Deadline October 1st, 2012) Datum: Mon, 03 Sep 2012 05:48:39 +0200 Von: roman <roman(a)lcc.uma.es> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ================================================================ Special Issue on "Security in a Completely Interconnected World" Security and Communication Networks Journal Paper submission deadline: October 1st 2012 ================================================================ Scope ----- The convergence of multiple paradigms, visions, and technologies – Internet of Things (IoT), People (IoP) and Services (IoS); Ambient Intelligence (AmI); Machine-to-Machine (M2M); and many others – is giving birth to a completely interconnected world. In this world, every entity (be it a machine, a daily object, a person, or anything) can have a globally locatable, addressable, and readable virtual counterpart, which can collaborate with each other in the provisioning of various services. This concept is slowly becoming a reality: specific standards are being developed, new research results are being obtained, and novel services are being provided by both newborn start-ups and experienced companies in various areas (e.g., SCADA systems, smart grids, smart cities). However, several significant obstacles hinder the full implementation of this concept, and among them are the security issues. In fact, as there is already a parallel economy exploiting the foundational weaknesses of the Internet, this new environment will surely be targeted by original and ingenious malicious models. The challenge here is to prevent the growth of such models or at least to mitigate and limit their impact. Therefore, it is necessary to provide strong foundations to those paradigms that require it (such as IoT), and develop various robust and resilient security mechanisms that allow the secure interaction between entities even in restrictive contexts. Precisely, the goal of this special issue is to publish cutting-edge research results and innovation case studies that will help to set the security foundations of this new interconnected world. Topics of Interest ------------------ In terms of security challenges, topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Novel security problems and challenges. * Privacy risks and data management problems. * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities. * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration. * Cryptographic primitives and algorithms for constrained devices. * Secure connection of heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies. * Legal challenges and governance issues. * Fault tolerance and resilience to external and internal attacks. * Context-Aware security. * Security of cloud-based M2M/IoT platforms. * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management. * Usability of security and privacy technologies. * Security in social interactions between virtual entities. Submission ---------- Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished works. Original research papers are solicited in all relevant areas (IoT, M2M, etc) on the topic of security for the completely interconnected world.

Being one of the leading international conferences in this area, the European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN) has played a prominent role in the dissemination of innovative ideas from researchers all over the globe. For EWSN 2013, the tenth meeting in this series, we invite papers describing original, previously unpublished research results pertaining to wireless sensor networks, broadly conceived. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Communication and Network Protocols * Operating Systems * Sensor middleware * Security and Fault-Tolerance * Programming Abstractions and Tools * Information and Signal Processing * Sensor network applications and novel uses of sensor data * Internet of Things and Cooperating Objects * Cognitive sensor networks * Hardware Design and Implementation * Prototypes, Testbeds, Field Experiments IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission: September 8, 2012 Author notification: November 15, 2012 Camera ready paper due: November 22, 2012 PAPER SUBMISSION This highly selective conference will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the end of the review process and are not mentioned in the paper. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and are not to exceed 16 pages, including text, figures and references. We require that submissions conform to the LNCS style (www.springer.com/lncs), as the proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Papers will be submitted electronically through EDAS. Please check http://ewsn13.intec.ugent.be for the latest info. CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMOS The poster and demonstration session at EWSN provides a forum for researchers to present their work and receive feedback from experts attending the conference. Posters and demos will be submitted as a single PDF file containing an abstract of no more than 2 pages. The areas of interest are the same as the main track (see above). Please check http://ewsn13.intec.ugent.be/ for more information on how to submit posters and demos. Poster and demo submission: December 1, 2012 Author notification: December 15, 2012 CALL FOR TUTORIALS For EWSN 2013, there will be two tutorial sessions designed to attract researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to discuss state-of-the-art research. We invite you to submit tutorial proposals that focus on recent, cutting-edge topics in wireless sensor networks. Both applied and theoretical topics are welcome, as are surveys, and the tutorial should be self-contained in nature. We encourage tutorials that provide clear utility to a broad fraction of conference participants. Tutorials will be held during the morning of February 13, and are therefore expected to last from 3 to 4 hours. Tutorial presenters are entitled one free registration per tutorial. Please check http://ewsn13.intec.ugent.be/ for more information on how to submit tutorial suggestions.
