-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM CHANTS 2014 (co-located with ACM MobiCom): call for papers Datum: Mon, 12 May 2014 16:08:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants14_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Elisabetta Biondi <chants14_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014 7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA www.acm-chants.org/14 Supported by the FP7 EU MOTO project http://www.fp7-moto.eu ______________________________________________________________________ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting, for example, findings in the area of social networking. The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions. This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network Coding in Challenged Networks - Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks - Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use (e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing, sensor networks) - Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT'14 Datum: Mon, 12 May 2014 13:33:07 +0200 Von: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> Antwort an: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers The ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT conference travels to another continent to complete its first decade as one of the major forums for presentations and discussions of novel computing technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The goal of the conference is to foster technical interactions among members of computer and communication networks research at large through a single track program promoting their most promising works. This new installment of the conference is proudly committed to the three values that made the conference successful for nearly ten years: Recognizing farsighted excellence, by selectively choosing papers with substantial novelty and research contribution. Promoting a broad definition of networking research, by welcoming submissions based on implementation and experimentation as well as theoretical analysis. Assuring authors of submitted papers a fair and thorough review process, with sound and detailed feedback guaranteed to each submissions in proportion of its scientific merit and potential. Scope The Program Committee of ACM CoNEXT seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer and communication networks. We especially encour- age submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies and new insights made possible using analysis or computing concepts rarely found among networking researchers. We invite submissions on a wide range of networking research including : * Networking aspects of mobile, wireless and ubiquitous computing * Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures * Network control and management, including datacenter, enterprise and SDN * Security and privacy aspects of computer networks and protocols * Theory and performance analysis of networking architectures and applications * Novel application of other fields to computer networking We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends and potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We invite the authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. These should be clearly substantiated and explained. Submission Authors must submit their papers electronically, following the guidelines available on the ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT web page. The committee encourages substantiated results with a succinct presentation. All papers will be part of a single track. More details will be provided on the format of the papers closer to the submission date. The selection of presentations will be based on peer-review by program committee members. This year, in an effort to inform judgment on the selection of presented papers, the PC will organize a rolling early feedback phase. During that time, and before review are completed, PC members are able to request authors for clarifications, typically on assumptions made and results obtained. Authors of submitted papers who receive such a request have the non mandatory option to answer that request within a week. We encourage this interaction espe- cially to give a chance to a minority of "controversial" papers that could be of special interest to our community, but raises important concerns that need to be addressed. Publication The proceedings of the conference will be published by the ACM.

Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Unified Communications: Challenges and Solutions Direct Link: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/sp… Unified Communications (UC) merge different communication technologies, types of products, and services, from various manufacturers, operators, and countries, following diverse policies and standards. Specifically, in the context of UC, a range of communication tools are integrated in a way that both corporations and individuals are able to manage all their communications in one entity instead of doing it disjointly. It is therefore said that UC bridges the opening between the various computer related communication technologies and Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this high level of heterogeneity expands the risks related to security and privacy that stakeholders should deal with. To eliminate or even prevent the increasing threats to end-users and operators, it is important to explore this growing and timely research topic. This feature topic will benefit the research community towards identifying challenges and disseminating the latest methodologies and solutions to UC security and privacy issues. Its objective is to publish high-quality articles presenting open issues, algorithms, protocols, policies, frameworks, standards, and solutions for UC related to security and privacy. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Reviews and case studies which address state-of-art research and state-of-practice industry experiences are also welcomed. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to unified communications security and privacy, including, but not limited to: - Authorization and access control for UC services - Denial of service prevention schemes for UC - Reliability and availability issues on UC - Penetration testing, intrusion detection and prevention - End-to-end security solutions - Cryptographic protocols for UC - Voice security - Signaling security and privacy - Multimedia application security and privacy analysis - Multimedia communication platforms vulnerabilities and attacks - Security and privacy in mobile communication services - Smartphone multimedia apps security and privacy - Social networking security and privacy - Testbed and case studies for secure and private UC services - Trust establishment in UC - IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) security - Privacy and identity management - Privacy enhancing technologies for UC - Privacy models for UC - Security and privacy assessment for UC - Security policies - Auditing, verification, and validation of UC services - Risk analysis and management - Cyber-security issues affecting UC - Protection of UC as a Critical Information Infrastructure - VoIP peering security issues All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication. *Schedule* Manuscript submission deadline: October 31, 2014 Pre-notification (first round): January 30, 2015 Final-notification (second round): April 3, 2015 Publication of special issue: 2015 (Tentative) *Submission Details* Authors should follow the instructions available at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom - kindly click the "Guide for Authors" link in the top box on the right side.

Such mobile environments, while creating and promoting several new opportunities for users, businesses and enterprises by complementing and often supplanting traditional Internet communication, opened up new challenges with new forms of security risks and privacy threats. Mobile devices security and privacy research has been very active and productive since the inception of smartphones and app markets. Both regulatory and technology efforts are also underway to address some of the privacy and security requirements of mobile systems and services. The workshop will discuss issues in mobile devices and applications, mobile location-based services, ad-hoc and infrastructure-based mobile networks, with particular focus on theoretical and practical aspects of design, usability and performance evaluation of security and privacy. This workshop will solicit research papers, work-in-progress papers, industry and regulatory position reports from academia, industry, and government agencies. The proposed workshop seeks to promote dynamic interdisciplinary discussions and collaboration on the various aspects of security and privacy of mobile devices, applications and mobile networking operations. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Mobile networks security - Mobile handsets devices security - Security and privacy of mobile applications - Hardware enabled security - Usability of security and privacy - New economic models of privacy-preserving mobile systems/applications - Mobile identity management systems - Mobile payment systems - Privacy and security threats identification - Censorship resistance in mobile environments - Privacy preserving analytics in mobile environments - Contextual (context-based) security and privacy - Security and privacy in next generation mobile networks - Security and privacy in wearable technologies We also encourage submissions of controversial ideas, interdisciplinary perspectives and other novel contributions with a potential to trigger constructive discussions and interactions.
