CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Network Special Issue on Network Forensics and Surveillance for Emerging Networks http://www.comsoc.org/netmag/cfp/network-forensics-and-surveillance-emergin… Deadline extended to April 30, 2016 Information and communication technologies (ICT) are becoming more intertwined in our lives, and inter-connected world. The networked world has revolutionized our lives in many ways and led to a closer and much more accessible world. For example, we can reach out to anyone, anywhere and anytime, regardless of geographical distance. Our increased dependence on ICT, and the pervasive interconnectivity of systems used in our networked world are, however, vectors that can potentially be exploited for nefarious or criminal purposes (e.g. hacking, theft of intellectual property and trade secrets, and online child exploitation). Recent incidents include the compromise of millions of Sony's PlayStation Network user accounts (resulting in significant reputation and financial damages to Sony), and Stuxnet (allegedly state-sponsored). The increasing number of high profile cyberattacks, and their impacts highlighted the importance of ensuring the security of our connected world. In a cyberattack, every action leaves an evidence trail — in routers, firewalls, web proxies, and within the network traffic. Consequently, there is a growing need for investigators to analyze network events, including network traffic, netflow, security device (or appliance) log, in order to ascertain how an attack was carried out or how an event occurred on a network. Such activities can assist in the reconstruction of a crime and, potentially, the identification of the perpetrator(s). To reduce the risk of digital evidence being called into question in judicial proceedings, it is important to have a rigorous methodology and set of procedures for conducting digital or network forensics. However, the increasing use of Internet and networked technologies, such as wearable devices and cyber physical systems in critical infrastructures, fast-advancing networking technologies, and the need to deal with volatile and dynamic data, complicate efforts to collect and preserve evidential data in a timely fashion. To keep pace with the growth and changing face of criminal activity as well as fast advancing network technologies such as SDN or wireless SDN, 4G/LTE and 5G, it is important for the forensic research and practitioner communities to have an up-to-date and in-depth understanding of the types of terrestrial artefacts that are likely to remain on the network and on networked devices, as well as the capability to undertake data collection and acquisition in a timely and forensically sound manner. This feature topic aims to foster the dissemination of the state-of-the-art advances in network forensics and surveillance for emerging networks. 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. Specifically, this issue welcomes two categories of papers: 1) invited articles from qualified experts; and 2) contributed papers from open call with list of addressed topics. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to network forensics and surveillance, with a particular emphasis on novel techniques to collect or exfiltrate data from the network and networked devices (such as those found in cyber-physical systems) in emerging networks. Topics of interest include: • Advanced network surveillance, forensic and anti-forensic techniques • Cooperative and distributed forensics and surveillance • Data exfiltration techniques from the network and networked devices (e.g. Internet-of-Things) • Attack detection, traceback and attribution in SDN, 4G and 5G • Network covert channel detection and elimination • Methods for reconstruction of internet activities in SDN, 4G and 5G • Forensics and surveillance in IoT • Forensics and surveillance in peer-to-peer, social, and cloud networks • Vulnerability detection techniques as well as mitigation techniques for networked systems • Novel techniques to analyze intelligence gathered from different or disparate data sets • Tools and systems for network forensics and surveillance • Network forensic process modeling • VoIP forensics, VoIPoW forensics High quality survey papers on the above topics are also welcome. SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers should not be under consideration elsewhere for publication and the authors must follow the IEEE Network guidelines regarding manuscript content and format for preparation of the manuscripts. For details, please refer to the “Author Guidelines” at the IEEE Network Web site at http://www.comsoc.org/netmag/author-guidelines.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiArch 2016 - Call for Papers - New York, USA Datum: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 10:02:46 -0400 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 11th ACM Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch) 2016 ** In conjunction with ACM MOBICOM 2016 ** October 3, 2016 New York, USA http://www.nr2.ufpr.br/~mobiarch/ ** PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS ** Recent years have witnessed mobile devices surpassing stationary Internet hosts in numbers and exponential growth of mobile data traffic. Wireless has quickly become the dominant last-hop access to the Internet. The mobility of users, devices and networks has become an integral part of today’s Internet. In the meantime, the network infrastructure is the process of transforming from a hardware dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined, cloud-based system with decreasing dependency on hardware. The increasing ability to collect and process large amount of data pertaining to network, devices, and users is posing new challenges to network design. As these trends continue in the near future, a reexamination is urgently required for the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet. Particularly, there is a need to deal with new opportunities and challenges as a result of the support of information and contents, the availability of software defined architecture, the computational support from the cloud, the emerging spectrum access techniques and the massive amount of data. MobiArch 2016 has mobile Internet data analysis as the central theme, a new rising and challenging networking environment that mixes the mobility of users and the design of mobile services and networks with the analysis of data coming from the network, the devices and the applications. The emergence of Cloud-dependent mobile services and the widespread growth of user-generated data, as well as the ever increasing use of cellular and wireless technologies, are leading to the collection of a vast amount of user mobility data as well as measurements of network states and service provisioning elements. In this context, various networking challenges rise such as seamless IP mobility management, the definition of algorithms correlating user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, the possibility of offload computing tasks, whole application or part of device operating system to the cloud, possible algorithm correlating traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, etc. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, security and privacy, multi-homing, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructure, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient multimedia content distribution, information centric networking solutions, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, to related operational concerns and legal issues. MobiArch 2016 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies in the current Internet or in the future clean-slate Internet. The workshop supports all topics that target to support mobility, with an emphasis on new network design for high performance mobile applications and services, efficient support of mobile contents, software defined architecture, data-driven mobile network management, as well as cloud-aware architecture and services. Besides technical papers, we also encourage work-in-progress papers, and welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST ** All aspects around architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches * Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support * Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning * Software defined and/or cloud–assisted mobile networking * Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture * Impact of connected vehicles on Internet architecture design * Impact of device-to-device communications on Internet architecture design * New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture * Mobile data sensing and fusion * Impact of Information Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks * Seamless mobility in heterogeneous networks * Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility * Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture * Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues * Cognitive networks design ** IMPORTANT DATES ** * Submissions deadline: May 15, 2016 (11:59 PM, EST) * Notification of acceptance: June 19, 2016 * Camera-ready version: July 17, 2016 * MobiArch Workshop Day: October 3, 2016 ** STEERING COMMITTEE ** Xiaoming Fu, University of Goettingen Rittwik Jana AT&T Labs Research Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University Joerg Ott, Aalto University Katherine Guo, Bell Labs Research Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge Stefano Secci, UPMC ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ** Submissions must present original results.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM TECS SI on Autonomous Battery-Free Sensing and Communication Datum: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 22:22:31 +0800 Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems Special Issue on Autonomous Battery-Free Sensing and Communication Recently, energy harvesting technologies have emerged as a solution to the challenges posed by energy constraints in many mobile applications. Environmental energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, and temperature gradient can be harvested and stored for sustainable operation, thereby enabling battery-free nodes. Such nodes can be applicable in scenarios where small device volume and perpetual operation are desirable. Moreover, they have the potential to enable autonomous sensing and communications tasks without human intervention following the deployment. However, challenges are posed by the need to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes while guaranteeing the system performance. Since the harvesting of energy is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works designed efficient energy management schemes. Yet, designing new architectures that enable autonomous battery-free sensing and communications is an open problem. The objective of this special issue is to capture the state-of-the-art advances in this area, and foster new avenues for research. The potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --New energy harvesting technologies for battery-free systems; --Energy management for perpetual operation; --New architectures for battery-free sensing and communications; --Resource management for autonomous operations; --Operating systems for battery-free devices; --Security issues in battery-free systems; --Emerging applications by battery-free systems; --Future directions for battery-free systems; Tentative Schedule --Manuscript Due: June 1st, 2016 --First Notification: Sept. 1st, 2016 --Revised version: Nov. 1st, 2016 --Final notification: Jan. 1st, 2017 --Publication Date: 2st quarter of 2017 Guest editors: Jiming Chen, Zhejiang University, jmchen(a)iipc.zju.edu.cn Gil Zussman, Columbia University, gil(a)ee.columbia.edu Yu (Jason) Gu, IBM Watson Health, yugu(a)us.ibm.com SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
