-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE PERCOM 2016 Workshop on Security Privacy and Trust in the IoT (SPT-IoT) Datum: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:14:20 +0000 Von: Robin Ram Mohan Doss <robin.doss(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Robin Ram Mohan Doss <robin.doss(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 1st IEEE PERCOM WORKSHOP ON SECURITY PRIVACY AND TRUST IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS (SPT-IOT) 2016 In conjunction with IEEE PERCOM 2016 March 14-18, 2016 Sydney, Australia EDAS link: http://edas.info/N21137 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm, envisioned as a network of billions or trillions of machines communicating with one another and rapidly gaining global attention from academia, industry, and government. Pervasive computing is at the heart of IoT and forms a fundamental building block necessary to realize the IoT. Equipped with pervasive technologies such as RFID and smart dust in addition to sensors, actuators and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, IoT has the potential to offer innovative solutions to global challenges faced by ageing populations, climate change, growing cost of healthcare as well as how we manage our environment and natural resources.. The heterogeneous nature of the IoT as well as the computational constraints of many of the building blocks of the IoT make security, privacy and trust a challenging problem to solve on the one hand, while security, privacy and trust play a critical role for most if not all applications of IoT in doma ins such as surveillance, healthcare, security, transport, food safety, manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management. Without effective solutions for security, privacy and trust reliable data fusion and mining, qualified services with context-aware intelligence and enhanced user acceptance and experience cannot be achieved. The proposed IEEE Percom workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for the IoT with a specific focus on IoT security, privacy and trust. The technical discussion will be focused on the communications and network security aspects of IoT and the key enabling technologies for IoT, especially M2M communications and networking, RFID technology and Near Field Communications (NFC), the challenges to security, privacy and trust presented and novel approaches to solving these challenges. The technical topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to: - IoT secure access network technologies and capillary networks; - secure channel and traffic models; - secure spectrum management for M2M/IoT radio communications; - security of RFID, sensors, actuator technologies; - IoT secure network infrastructure; - IoT security protocols; - privacy in applications of the IoT; - IoT networking and communication security; - circuit and system design for secure smart objects in the IoT; - security, trust, and privacy issues for devices and services; - naming, address management and end-to-end addressability; - methods for secure by design IoT; - methods for IoT security analysis and audit; - privacy and anonymization techniques in IoT; - secure cloud of things; - trust management architectures; - lightweight security solutions; - authentication and access control in IoT; - identification and biometrics in IoT; - liability and policy enforcement in IoT; - security of Big data in IoT; - cyber physical systems security; - cyber attacks detection and prevention; - embedded platforms for cryptography (implementations for performance-optimized, resource constrained, energy-efficient platforms); - hardware security primitives; - secure pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Software and Systems; - new Privacy and Security Techniques for Embedded Software and Systems; and - ethics and legal considerations in IoT.

Further details can be found by visiting the website: http://www.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/lehrstuehle/oc/Veranstaltungen/oc-ws-… Best regards, Sven Tomforde ******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS The Fourth International Workshop on "Self-optimisation in Organic and Autonomic Computing Systems" SAOS 2016 to be held at ARCS 2016 - Architecture of Computing Systems April 4th - 7th 2016 Porto, Portugal http://www.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/lehrstuehle/oc/Veranstaltungen/oc-ws-… ================================================================================== *** Important dates *** ======================= Submission deadline: December 23rd, 2015 Notification of acceptance: January 18th, 2016 Camera-ready: January 28th, 2016 *** Workshop theme *** ====================== Initiatives such as Autonomic Computing (AC) and Organic Computing (OC) are based on the insight that we are increasingly surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems, which are equipped with sensors and actuators, aware of their environment, communicating freely, and organising themselves in order to perform the required actions and services. The presence of networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, different design concepts (such as the MAPE cycle and the Observer/Controller framework) have been developed to allow for a self-organised control process at runtime that relieves the designer from specifying all possibly occurring situations and configurations within the design process. Instead, the system itself takes over responsibility to find proper reactions on perceived changes in the environmental conditions. As designers are not able to foresee all possibly occurring situations and circumstances the system will face during its operation time, the self-organisation process of the system has to focus on self-optimising the system’s behaviour. Such self-optimising behaviour can be achieved at various levels of the system’s design, ranging from basic control architectures over self-organised coordination or collaboration methods and domain-specific optimisation techniques to the application and customisation of machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, several related topics (e.g. trust and security in collaborative systems) provide necessary functionality to enable self-optimising behaviour in AC and OC systems. In this workshop, we will discuss current concepts that help to develop self-optimising system behaviour. Thereby, a special focus will be set on current trends – especially in terms of large-scale interconnected systems. Submissions of papers are expected to refer to one of the following categories: 1. Architectural concepts for self-optimising behaviour 2. Algorithms and methods for runtime optimising 3. Security and Privacy issues related to self-optimisation 4. Applications and application scenarios for self-optimisation techniques 5. Current activities about self-optimisation in the context of Interwoven Systems *** Workshop details *** ========================= The Workshop will be held from April 4th to 7nd in conjunction with the 29th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS 2016) in Nuremberg, Germany.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 12. Oktober 2015 01:38:01 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE ICC 2016 - 1st Workshop on Resiliency in Public Safety Communication Systems (RPSCS) *1st Workshop on Resiliency in Public Safety Communication Systems (RPSCS), in Conjunction with IEEE ICC 2016* *Scope*: Many of today’s critical networked infrastructures, such as transportation and power systems, rely heavily on communication technologies and systems. The resiliency of such communication systems in face of natural disasters, malicious attacks, or even day-to-day wear and tear has become of great importance to maintain the continuous operation of such critical systems. Resilience can have many definitions that range from the ability of a communication system to operate under harsh environments or to withstand malicious attacks, all the way to its adaptability to failures or other unexpected events. In particular, resilience of public safety communication networks during emergencies can become a matter of life or death, since first responders and public safety personnel rely heavily on wired and wireless communication capabilities to execute their search and rescue operations. At the same time, critical infrastructure networks and other civil protection network deployments need to be highly robust, and function effectively in the presence of dynamically varying external and internal conditions. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to resilient and robust communication networks, as well as their applications in public safety and critical infrastructure systems. *Area/Topics of interest*: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: · New definitions of resiliency as it applies to wired and wireless communication systems. · Public safety communication (PSC) systems relying on 4G LTE and 5G wireless technologies. · Public safety spectrum sharing, future spectrum requirements for PSC networks. · Resiliency studies for PSC networks and infrastructure against natural disasters, and terrorist/cyber-attacks. · Use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for enhancing PSC and communication resiliency. · Resilient cyber-physical systems and smart cities. · Synergies between resilient control systems and resilient communication networks. · Advanced technologies such as device-to-device, multi-hop, and relay-based communications for enhanced PSC. · Propagation channel measurements and modeling for PSC. · Interworking and interoperability between public safety networks and commercial networks. · Game-theoretic techniques, resource allocation, and power control for resilient and public safety communications. · Software defined radio (SDR) testbeds and experimentation on resilient systems. · Software-defined management and control mechanisms for improving PSC communication resilience. · The role of cyber-physical systems in resiliency. · Resilient rapidly deployable communication networks. *Workshop Co-Chairs*: Walid Saad (Virginia Tech, USA) Ismail Guvenc (Florida International University, USA) Tinku Rasheed (Orion Innovations, Greece) *Important Dates:* - Paper submission deadline: December 4, 2015 - Acceptance notification: February 21, 2016 - Camera-ready papers: March 13, 2016 *Additional Information*: https://sites.google.com/site/rpscs2015/ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Int. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) - Call for Posters and Demos Datum: Sun, 11 Oct 2015 09:27:31 -0700 Von: Luca Mottola <lmottola(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <lmottola(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) 15-17 February 2016, Graz, Austria Call for Posters and Demos The International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) is a highly selective single-track international conference focusing on premier research results at the intersection of embedded systems and wireless networking. Along with full research papers, EWSN solicits submissions of poster and demo abstracts whose contribution will be publicly presented during the conference. The poster session at EWSN will provide a forum for researchers to present their work in progress and to receive feedback from experts attending the conference. In parallel to the poster session, the demo session will offer a unique opportunity to showcase real prototypes, tools, and systems to the conference attendees. The areas of interest for both poster and demo abstracts are the same as for full research papers. Please refer to www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 more details. Submission: Demo and poster abstracts must not exceed 2 pages. Titles should start with "Poster: ..." or "Demo: ..." depending on the case. Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. A LaTex template is available at www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 under Calls -> Posters & Demos. At the same page, you find a link where to perform the actual submission. As we particularly welcome contributions from students, the submission system offers an option to explicitly signal whether the main author is a student. Both poster and demo abstracts may optionally complement the submission with a video of at most 2 minutes that further illustrates the work at hand. If the abstract is accepted, the video will be made available directly from the conference website. Poster and demo abstracts will be reviewed by at least three members of the poster/demo committee to ensure quality and matching to the goals of the poster/demo session as well as to the conference’s topics. Accepted poster and demo abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings that appear in the ACM Digital Library. Presentation at the conference: In addition to space given to every accepted abstract during the poster/demo session, one author of the abstract will be given a slot in a further "1-minute madness" session within the main program. In this session, authors will have the opportunity to describe their work to the entire conference audience with a single slide and a 1-minute speech. Attendees will be given an online link where to cast a vote for what they think was the best 1-minute poster or demo teaser. Best poster and demo awards will be decided based on the outcome of the vote. Important dates: Submission: December 4th, 2015 Notification: December 18th, 2015 Poster and Demo Chairs: Olaf Landsiedel (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden) Luca Mottola (Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano, Italy, and SICS Swedish ICT) Program Committee: Yiran Shen (National University of Singapore/MIT Alliance) Rajib Rana (University of Southern Queensland, Australia) Chun Liu (Henan University, China) Junfeng Wu (KTH, Sweden) Marco Zimmerling (ETHZ, Switzerland) Frederik Hermans (University of Uppsala, Sweden) Alessandro Sivieri (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) Zhichao Cao (Tsinghua University, China) Oana Iova (University of Trento, Italy) Christoph Sommer (University of Paderborn, Germany) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
