Fwd: [Tccc] Security and Communication Networks Journal: Special Issue on "Security in a Completely Interconnected World" (Deadline October 1st, 2012)
by Lars Wolf 03 Sep '12

-------- 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. All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three experts working in the areas. The guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security. Prospective authors should submit their papers online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the Manuscript type as 'Special Issue', enter the 'Running Head' as 'SCN-SI-049', and the 'Special Issue title' as and 'Security in a Completely Interconnected World', respectively. Failure to do so may be subject to rejection without review.

IJARAS: Table of Contents 3(3) and Call for Papers
by Vincenzo De Florio 01 Sep '12

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Dear Sirs, This is to draw your attention to the contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 3, Issue 3, July-September 2012 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1947-9220 EISSN: 1947-9239 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijaras Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgium PAPER ONE User Models for Adaptive Information Retrieval on the Web: Towards an Interoperable and Semantic Model Max Chevalier (Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier, IRIT, UMR 5505, France) Christine Julien (Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier, IRIT, UMR 5505, France) Chantal Soulé-Dupuy (Université Toulouse 1 Capitole, IRIT, UMR 5505, France) Searching information can be realized thanks to specific tools called Information Retrieval Systems IRS (also called “search engines”). To provide more accurate results to users, most of such systems offer personalization features. To do this, each system models a user in order to adapt search results that will be displayed. In a multi-application context (e.g., when using several search engines for a unique query), personalization techniques can be considered as limited because the user model (also called profile) is incomplete since it does not exploit actions/queries coming from other search engines. So, sharing user models between several search engines is a challenge in order to provide more efficient personalization techniques. A semantic architecture for user profile interoperability is proposed to reach this goal. This architecture is also important because it can be used in many other contexts to share various resources models, for instance a document model, between applications. It is also ensuring the possibility for every system to keep its own representation of each resource while providing a solution to easily share it.

In particular, it analyzes how different aspects of trust (e.g., trust, trustworthiness, trustworthy evidence) influence trust decisions, and acting on them eventually. It proposes a trust decision model that structures the analysis of contextualized trust problems. Rather than seeking a general definition of trust, this paper advocates the necessity to have a structured way to analyze and characterize situational trust problems systematically.

The use of the service paradigm usually guarantees a high level of flexibility. In fact, applications can be easily reconfigured in order to continuously offer functionalities also in dynamic execution environments. This happens by changing the service selection and their composition. This flexibility can be exploited to design adaptable SBAs able to react to events that could happen during the application lifecycle. The execution flow of adaptable SBAs automatically changes on the basis of the context in which they are executing. The context includes information ranging from the situation in which users access the service-based applications to the status of the components involved in the execution of such applications. In this paper the authors propose a way to use context information to adapt SBAs. In particular, their goal is to discuss the way in which the context should be defined and managed in order to be exploited in the various activities related to the adaptation of service-based applications.

This paradigm defers the selection of the next hop after the packet reception to take advantage of any opportunity provided by broadcast transmissions. Most of the existing opportunistic approaches base the forwarder selection on end-to-end principles. However, in multi-hop wireless environments the cost of a path is not uniformly distributed over space, nor constant over time, hence even two equal-cost paths might present significantly different link quality distributions one from the other. This encourages the use of localized context to implement a more accurate selection of the possible forwarders after each packet transmission. Hence, in this paper the authors propose RELADO, an adaptive opportunistic routing protocol able to efficiently combine end-to-end with local information to ensure transmission resilience across the network. With this flexibility, RELADO is able to reduce packet loss by ensuring the best trade-off between throughput maximization and packet progress. An extensive set of ns2 simulations confirms the potentiality of RELADO to improve network performance when compared to both legacy unicast and opportunistic routing protocols.

Proper monitoring interface is an essential prerequisite to adaptive system reconfiguration in parallel on-chip computing. This work proposes a DMC (dual monitoring communication) architecture to support self-awareness on the NoC platform. One type of monitoring communication is integrated with data channel, in order to trace the run-time profile of data communication in high-speed on-chip networking. The other type is separate from the data communication, and is needed to report the run-time profile to the supervising monitor. Direct latency monitoring on mesochronous NoC is presented as a case study and is directly traced in the integrated communication with a novel latency monitoring table in each router. The latency information is reported by the separate monitoring communication to the supervising monitor, which reconfigures the system to adjust the latency, for instance by dynamic voltage and frequency scaling. With quantitative evaluation using synthetic traces and real applications, the effectiveness and efficiency of direct latency monitoring with DMC architecture is demonstrated. The area overhead of DMC architecture is estimated to be small in 65nm CMOS technology.
