ICST - IWCTS 2008 - Call for Papers
by info＠icstconferences.org 11 May '08

11 May '08

**SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 17, 2008** CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** First International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science IWCTS 08 http://cts.cs.uic.edu/iwcts.htm July 21, 2008, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland To be held in conjunction with: The Fifth International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous 2008) *********************************************************************** In the near future, vehicles, travelers, and the infrastructure will collectively have billions of sensors that can communicate with each other. This environment will enable numerous novel applications and order of magnitude improvement in the performance of existing applications. However, information technology (IT) has not had the dramatic impact on day-to-day transportation that it has had on other domains such as business and science. In terms of the real-time information available to most travelers, with the exception of car navigation systems, the transportation experience has not changed much in the last 30-40 years. During this same time, the miniaturization of computing devices and advances in wireless communication and sensor technology have been propagating computing from the stationary desktop to the mobile outdoors, and making it ubiquitous. Transportation systems, due to their distributed/mobile nature, can become the ultimate test-bed for this ubiquitous (i.e., embedded, highly-distributed, and sensor-laden) computing environment of unprecedented scale. Information technology is the foundation for implementing new strategies, particularly if they are to be made available in real-time to wireless devices such as cell phones and PDAs. A related development is the emergence of increasingly more sophisticated geospatial and spatio-temporal information management capabilities. These factors have the potential to revolutionize traveler services, and the provision and analysis of related information. In this revolution, travelers and sensors in the infrastructure and in vehicles will all produce a vast amount of data that could be interpreted and acted upon to produce a sea change in transportation. The emerging discipline of computational transportation science (CTS) combines computer science and engineering with the modeling, planning, and economic aspects of transportation. The discipline goes beyond vehicular technology, and addresses pedestrian systems on hand-held devices, non-real-time issues such as data mining, as well as data management issues above the networking layer. CTS addresses issues of efficiency, equity, mobility, accessibility, and safety by taking advantage of ubiquitous computing. --- SCOPE OF THE SUBMISSION The International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science invites submissions of original, previously unpublished papers on CTS issues. Position papers that report novel research directions or identify challenging problems are also invited. Papers incorporating one or more of the following themes are especially encouraged: - Uncertain information distributed among moving travelers/vehicles and the infrastructure - Information in pedestrian, biking, and other non-motorized transportation applications - Ride- and car-sharing using social networks - Computation of costs of multi-modal traveling - Information regarding transfers to alternate modes of transportation - Data mining techniques for travel information - Dynamic shortest path computations using forecasts - Human-computer interfaces in intelligent transportation applications - Privacy and security issues in transportation information - Social and institutional information related to travel - Real-time negotiation among travelers - Mobile artificial-intelligence aspects related to transportation - Sensor information related to transportation HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER Authors should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper. Papers must be in English and not exceed 6 pages double column in ACM SIG format (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. Position papers are limited 4 pages. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by the technical program committee. Authors are asked to register the titles and abstract of their papers in advance. To register or submit a paper, please visit http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcts08 or see the workshop website for more details. --- IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: May 17, 2008 Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2008 Camera-ready submissions: June 8, 2008 --- General Chairperson Peter Nelson University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Program Chairperson Ouri Wolfson University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Technical Program Committee Amr El Abbadi University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Walid Aref Purdue University, USA Claus Brenner Leibniz Universitat Hannover, Germany Glenn Geers National Information Communications Technology Australia Fosca Giannotti Institute of Information Science and Technologies, Italy Le Gruenwald University of Oklahoma, USA Christian Jensen Aalborg University, Denmark Der-Horng Lee National University of Singapore D.

Richardson and Vicraj Thomas Honeywell Labs {james.p.richardson, vic.thomas}(a)honeywell.com http://www.cse.psu.edu/IEEEMASS08/qoisn.htm ------------------------------------------- In the dynamic, ad-hoc world envisaged for wireless sensor networks, the notion of the quality of information (QoI) produced by the network will be key to bringing together data capturing and information processing systems to support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring. QoI, broadly speaking, represents a level of confidence that may be placed on information. It touches every part of the end-to-end flow of sensor-derived information, from the sensors themselves and the observation data they produce to the various fusion layers that process these data and eventually to the applications (and their users) that use them. The objective of the QoISN Workshop is to foster constructive discussions among researchers from academic, industrial and governmental institutions for formalizing the science of QoI for sensor networks. We seek novel contributions covering all aspects of QoI for sensor network, including: - Formal QoI characterization and representation; - QoI performance metrics and estimation techniques; - Sensor fault analysis and sensor data cleansing and their impact on QoI; - QoI-aware networking; - Security, privacy, and data provenance and their impact on QoI; - QoI driven data fusion; - QoI calculus, brokering, and trade-off analysis; - QoI-driven system design; - QoI impact at the application level (e.g., detection-based decision making - and surveillance analysis) Paper preparation/submission details: Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-space, two-column format using at least 10 point size type. The maximum page limit is 6 pages. Papers deemed outside the scope of the Workshop or longer than 6 pages will be administratively disqualified. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE. The paper must be correctly formatted to fit on U.S. "letter" size page (8.5" by 11") with at least 1" margins on all 4 sides. Please use only standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Computer Society website. Paper submission is managed through EDAS ( http://www.edas.info/showConferenceDetails.php?c=6460&). All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Please submit your paper to EDAS. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work. Following the convention of past MASS conferences, there will be NO workshop-only or workshop-specific registration. A full conference registration is needed and will include the ability to attend any workshop and regular conference session. ------------------------------------------- Important dates Paper registration (250 word abstract): May 20, 2008 (*** NEW ITEM***) Paper submission (6 pages): May 25, 2008 (*** NEW DATE***) Author notification: July 2, 2008 Camera ready: July 18, 2008 ------------------------------------------- The QoISN'08 Workshop Program Co-Chairs _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

08 May '08

**************************************************************** C A L L F O R P A P E R S **************************************************************** Special Session at the 5th IEEE Swarm Intelligence Symposium: SWARM INTELLIGENCE FOR WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS St. Louis, Missouri, USA, September 21-23, 2008 http://www.computelligence.org/sis/2008/?q=node/5 IMPORTANT DATES ***************** Paper submission: May 15, 2008 Notification: June 15, 2008 Camera-Ready: July 15, 2008 Conference: Sept 22-23, 2008 SCOPE ******* Wireless ad hoc networks are communication networks that consist entirely of wireless nodes, placed together in an ad hoc manner, i.e. with minimal planning. Nodes can enter or leave the network at any time, and may be mobile, so that the network topology continuously experiences alterations during deployment. Examples include: Wireless ad hoc networks pose substantially different challenges compared to more traditional communication networks: they are highly dynamic, have limited resources (in terms of bandwidth, computation power, battery, etc.), have a highly decentralized organization, rely on often unreliable wireless communication channels, etc. As a consequence, new algorithms and protocols are needed for all aspects of the organization of these networks. Swarm Intelligence methods seem particularly interesting in this context. This is because their ability to solve difficult tasks in a distributed and robust way using locally interacting simple agents fits closely to the typical environment created by an ad hoc network. In this special session, we solicit novel and interesting contributions in this area, with special reference to applications of Swarm Intelligence in the domain of: - Mobile ad hoc networks - Sensor networks - Networks of mobile robots Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Distributed medium access control using Swarm Intelligence - Swarm Intelligence routing protocols in ad hoc networks - Swarm Intelligence transport layer protocols in ad hoc networks - Swarm Intelligence for QoS provisioning - Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-adaptation through swarm intelligence - Off-line optimization for ad hoc networks through swarm intelligence - Comparisons between Swarm Intelligence and other algorithms for ad hoc networks - Implementation of Swarm Intelligence approaches in testbeds - Evaluation of Swarm Intelligence approaches in real-world settings SUBMISSION ************ Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of no more than eight (8) pages including results, figures and references. Authors should submit their papers as PDF through the online submission system, which is available at: http://www.computelligence.org/SIS/2008/Sub/ The paper format is the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings and can be found at: http://www.computelligence.org/sis/2008/paperform.html A Microsoft Word version of the paper format can be found at: http://www.computelligence.org/sis/2008/paperform.doc ORGANIZERS ************ Anna Forster (University of Lugano, Switzerland), anna.egorova.foerster(a)lu.unisi.ch Frederick Ducatelle (IDSIA-SUPSI, Switzerland), frederick(a)idsia.ch Gianni Di Caro (IDSIA-SUPSI, Switzerland), gianni(a)idsia.ch Ganesh Venayagamoorthy, (Missouri U. of Science and Technology, USA), ganeshv(a)mst.edu ************************************************************************************ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] ACM Workshop on Network Data Anonimization: submission deadline approaching
by Elisa Boschi 08 May '08

08 May '08

[apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------- Network Data Anonymization (NDA) Workshop An ACM CCS workshop October 31, 2008 Alexandria, VA, USA http://www.ics.forth.gr/~antonat/nda08.html -------------------------------------------- Over the last decade, the network security community (and the Internet measurement community in general) has suffered from two fundamental and related problems: (1) a lack of "real" network data for research studies and prototype testing, and (2) a lack of network data sharing among organizations, which impedes cooperation in network defense; as attacks typically cross organizational boundaries, effective prevention requires defenders to look beyond their own perimeter in cooperation with other organizations. Anonymization techniques are crucial for the safe sharing of network data. They are necessary to obscure certain identifying information (e.g., IP addresses) in order to protect the privacy of end users and the security of internal networks. While current network data anonymization techniques are generally acknowledged to be useful, it is difficult to ensure they are free from information leakage. Also, anonymization involves fundamental tradeoffs between the protection of user privacy and the utility of the resulting data, and these tradeoffs need to be better understood. This workshop seeks to focus on new and innovative solutions for anonymizing network data that will ensure appropriate protection of host identities, network configurations, and network security practices within enterprise networks. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: - data sharing via anonymization - privacy-preserving data mining - data anonymization tools - data anonymization policy creation/implementation - data anonymization case studies/best practices - streaming data anonymization - anonymization issues specific to network data - business services enabled by anonymization - data protection laws relevant to data anonymization Papers submitted documenting attacks on anonymized systems are strongly encouraged to propose a corresponding protection solution. While the focus of this workshop is on network data anonymization, applications of anonymization to other data domains ( e.g., medical data, homeland security, reputation systems, government records, transportation etc.) are welcome if the authors include a statement of relevance. ---------------- Important Dates: ---------------- Paper submissions due: Sunday, May 25, 2008 Author notification: Monday, July 7, 2008 Camera ready papers due: Sunday, August 10, 2008 Workshop at CCS '08: Friday, October 31, 2008 --------------------- Organizing Committee: --------------------- Bill Yurcik, University of Texas at Dallas (USA) [Program Chair] Spiros Antonatos, ICS-FORTH (Greece) Michele Bezzi, SAP Research (France) Elisa Boschi, Hitachi Europe (Switzerland) Brian Trammell, CERT/NetSA (USA) ---------------------------- Technical Program Committee: ---------------------------- Nikita Borisov, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA) Matthias Bossardt, KPMG (Switzerland) Nevil Brownlee, CAIDA/University of Auckland (New Zealand) KC Claffy, CAIDA/University of California San Diego (USA) Michael Collins, CERT/NetSA (USA) Marco Cremonini, University of Milan (Italy) Michalis Foukarakis, ICS-FORTH (Greece) Carrie Gates, CA Labs (USA) David Maltz, Microsoft (USA) John McHugh, Dalhousie University (Canada) Ruoming Pang, Google (USA) Stefano Paraboschi, University of Bergamo (Italy) Dave Plonka, University of Wisconsin at Madison (USA) Carsten Schmoll, Fraunhofer FOKUS (Germany) Tim Shimeall, CERT/NetSA (USA) Panos Trimintzios, European Network and Information Security Agency (Greece) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
