-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Special Issue on Security and Trust Management for Dynamic Coalitions - Wiley SCN Datum: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:00:41 +0100 Von: Fabio Martinelli <Fabio.Martinelli(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS Security and Communication Networks Journal (Wiley) Special Issue on Security and Trust Management for Dynamic Coalitions --------------------------- Deadline: November 30, 2008 --------------------------- Scope There is an increasing interest and deployment of technologies that allow cooperation among entities that may act collectively. These entities may form dynamic coalitions where entities may leave and join, may show mobility aspects (either logical or physical), and may act in a collective manner. Examples of these coalitions can be found in the digital world, including: a) Crowds of users walking on the streets with advanced context aware converged telecommunication devices; b) A group of robots, manned and unmanned vehicles equipped with processors, sensors, smart-phones, etc. interacting with each other, with their environment, and with a command or a control node, such as the command and control site of a defence coalition or a civil traffic control; c) A set of organizations (possibly virtual) sharing some resource for service provisions, or so called Virtual Organisations; d) Collaborative processes that use resources and services offered by partners in a Virtual Organisation; and e) Web 2.0 mash-ups and composite Web Services that are composed of services and applications offered by different service providers over a public network. These dynamic coalitions involve several technologies as peer to peer systems (P2P), mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), and service oriented architectures such as those realised in GRID computing and Web Services Frameworks. There are several research areas identified as follows: a) Security in dynamic coalitions; b) trust in dynamic coalitions; c) security and trust interplay; and 4) secure processes and service composition. Topics of interest This special issue is proposed to cover research results and innovation case studies on security and trust management on dynamic coalitions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Semantics and computational models for security and trust in dynamic coalitions * Context-based security and trust management architectures, mechanisms and policies * Privacy and anonymity issues in trust negotiation * Enforcing cooperation in dynamic coalitions * Reputation and recommendation models and architectures for dynamic coalitions * Usage control models, languages and architectures in dynamic coalitions * Cryptographic models and mechanisms for dynamic coalitions * Security protocols for group management * Security for Service Oriented Architectures and Infrastructures * Collaboration and Virtual Organization life-cycle management in dynamic coalitions * Federated Identity Management in dynamic coalitions * Distributed Access Control and administrative delegation in dynamic coalitions * Policy verification and validation in order to predict the impact of changes to an infrastructure in order to support the life-cycle of a dynamic coalition * QoS monitoring, evaluation and reporting in dynamic coalitions * Auditing in dynamic coalitions * Trust and security in ICT Governance and service management for dynamic coalitions * Security frameworks for dynamic service composition * Security frameworks for Web 2.0 service and application mash-ups * Security and trust adaptation in dynamic coalitions * Information management in dynamic coalitions including research in techniques for self-protecting information sets * Trust and security aspects of Operational Support Systems (OSS) for the converged telecommunications infrastructure that underpins dynamic coalitions Submission Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work.

V-Winets and V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services, high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access, in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers. Consequently, V-Winet and V-ITS need to integrate existing networking technologies, such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11p, DSRC, 3G, IEEE 802.16, Bluetooth, Sensor networks, and ZigBee for easy, accurate, effective and simple communications among vehicles, users, and infrastructure networks. This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality, original, unpublished research covering all aspects of V-Winet and V-ITS communications, networking, and applications.

[Tccc] Deadline Extension: Journal of High Speed Networks, Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
by Kemal Akkaya 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

We apologize for multiple receipts of this CFP. ================================================= Deadline Extended to Dec. 20th, 2008. -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------- Journal of High Speed Networks Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is a promising technology that offers solutions for low-cost broadband Internet access by extending the local area networks to wide area. Unlike mobile ad hoc and sensor networks, the mesh nodes in a WMN are stationary and have access to unlimited power. Typically, mobile clients connect to the mesh nodes and use the backbone to communicate with one another over large distances and with nodes on the Internet through a gateway. One of the distinct characteristics of WMNs is that the mesh nodes can employ multiple radios and utilize multiple channels which thereby bring a potential to improve the throughput and bandwidth of the network. In addition, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas can be employed. Such technologies can be exploited for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning that can be used to offer some level of service differentiation to facilitate multimedia/real-time data communication, Video on Demand, VoIP, etc. over WMNs. Prior research on QoS provisioning in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks has mostly addressed the challenges under the single channel paradigm. While the research community has recently started to study the QoS challenges in WMNs, the current focus has largely been on bandwidth guarantees for traffic going out of the WMN to the Internet via the gateway(s). Therefore, further research is needed to provide QoS guarantees for intra-WMN traffic not only on bandwidth but also on delay, delay jitter and reliability so that WMNs can be realized as a technology in the near future. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of QoS provisioning in multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-hop WMNs. We solicit papers which will address QoS challenges under multiple radios and channels, provide the foundation for applications such as Video on Demand, teleconferencing and VoIP, and deal with channel assignment and routing problems simultaneously. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - QoS routing with multiple radios/channels - Providing delay and delay jitter guarantees - Cross-layer design and optimization - Dynamic channel assignment with QoS routing - MIMO techniques for QoS provisioning - Handling mobility of mesh clients during QoS support - Performance analysis - Wireless mesh network testbed design and measurements - Fault-tolerance and QoS provisioning - Security and QoS provisioning - Utilization of cognitive radio for QoS provisioning - Centralized vs. distributed QoS algorithms Important Dates: - Manuscript Due (Extended Deadline): December 14th, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: January 14, 2009 - Final Manuscript Due: February 4, 2009 Submission Guidelines: All submissions to the Journal must be in English and based on original research of some fundamental significance. The paper must not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere, although part of the paper may have been published in conference proceedings. A manuscript largely based on a conference paper must be so identified. It is expected that the author(s) have obtained necessary approval or clearance prior to submitting the paper. All submissions to the Journal will be reviewed by competent referees and are considered on the basis of their technical correctness, contribution, novelty, readability and usefulness to the Journal's readership.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on WSNs Datum: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:58:33 +0100 Von: Mischa Dohler <mischa.dohler(a)cttc.es> Antwort an: mischa.dohler(a)cttc.es Organisation: CTTC An: <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, Apologies for cross-postings, however, we thought this JSAC special issue may interest you. You are welcome to forward this to friends and colleagues working in the field. Thanks and kind regards, Mischa. _____________________________ Dr Mischa Dohler Senior Researcher CTTC, Barcelona Tel: +34 93 645 2900 Fax: +34 93 645 2901 Mob: +34 6 7909 4007 <http://www.cttc.es/home/mdohler> www.cttc.es/home/mdohler _____________________________ Call for Papers IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) Simple Wireless Sensor Networking Solutions Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in recent years in both industry as well as academia. This is mainly attributed to the unprecedented opportunities they offer. However, WSNs also face significant design challenges, including their limited computing abilities and their dependence on finite battery energy. A major obstacle to the ubiquitous deployment of WSNs is the absence of reliable and easy-to-implement communication stacks. The main design criteria are thus to lower algorithmic complexity to facilitate low-power solutions that can be embedded into low-cost microprocessors, and to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes as well as to data sinks. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a plethora of approaches, e.g., using cross-layer design paradigms, distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access control, fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and self-healing sensor network mechanisms and reliable data aggregation algorithms, among others. Viable solutions will impact both commercial activities as well as standardization approaches, including IEEE 802.15.4, IETF ROLL, Wireless HART and WOSA. In light of the above, the main purpose of this special issue is twofold: * to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing large-scale energy and complexity constrained WSNs, and * to expose novel, readily deployable protocol solutions that are of low complexity and hence facilitate very cheap network deployment and maintenance, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a useful and practically viable wireless sensor networking solution. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: * performance bounds (link and network capacity, with and without imperfections, etc.) * data centric approaches (data fusion, aggregation, source coding, signal processing, etc.) * protocol centric approaches (novel PHY, MAC and networking paradigms, etc.) * cross-layer and cross-functionality designs (joint source/channel coding, etc.) * cooperative and distributed algorithms (cooperative PHY, distributed signal processing, etc.) * key functionalities (security, localization, self-*, synch., abstraction, ease of programming, etc.) * interdisciplinary approaches (principles borrowed from physics, etc.) Papers must be tailored to the problems of WSNs and explicitly consider complexity and energy constraints. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE-JSAC guidelines (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7029&) according to the timetable below. Important Dates: Submission deadline: 1 May 2009 Author Notification: 1 November 2009 Final Manuscript: 15 February 2010 Publication: Q3 2010 Guest Editors: Mischa Dohler CTTC, Barcelona, Spain (mischa.dohler at cttc.es) Kris Pister Berkeley, USA (pister at eecs.berkeley.edu) Wendi Heinzelman University of Rochester, USA (wheinzel at ece.rochester.edu) Mani Srivastava UCLA, USA (mbs at ucla.edu) Ivan Stojmenovic University of Ottawa, Canada (stojmenovic at storm.ca) Kay Römer ETH Zurich, Switzerland (roemer at inf.ethz.ch) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

June 3-5, 2009 http://www.nossdav.org/2009/cfp.html * Important Dates Paper Deadline: 9 February, 2009 Notification: 23 March, 2009 Camera Ready: 13 April, 2009 * About NOSSDAV NOSSDAV 2009 will continue the workshop's long tradition of focusing on emerging topics, controversial ideas, and future research directions in the area of multimedia systems research, held in a setting that stimulates lively discussions among the senior and junior participants. It is also an established practice for NOSSDAV to encourage experimental research based on real systems and data sets. Public availability of source code and data sets is highly encouraged. The scope of NOSSDAV has evolved over the years. For NOSSDAV 2009, we would like especially highlight two new topics of interest: unconventional use of GPU for multimedia and multi-core processors support for multimedia. NOSSDAV 2009 continues to welcome submissions in the traditional topics of networked multimedia systems, operating system support for multimedia, and multimedia security and rights management. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * OS, middleware and network support for multimedia * Overlay networks for multimedia * Media streaming, distribution and storage * Web 2.0 systems and social networks for multimedia * Wireless and mobile multimedia systems * Media sensor and ad hoc networks * Grid/cloud computing support for multimedia * Embedded systems for multimedia * Multicore architecture support for multimedia * GPU for multimedia * Network processor support for multimedia * Tele-immersion and mixed-reality systems * Networked graphics and virtual environments * Networked games * Multimedia communications and system security * Digital rights management A broad view will be taken in deciding what topics are within scope. Please contact the workshop co-chairs if you are unsure and wish to check if a particular topic is within the scope of NOSSDAV. Submissions should be at most SIX pages in length using standard ACM proceedings style. We expect these submissions to be the kernel of what will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. Authors of selected, high quality papers from NOSSDAV 2009 will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to a special issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal (MMSJ).
