-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of, Distributed Systems (SSS 2006) Datum: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 10:24:38 +0200 Von: Maria Gradinariu <mgradina(a)irisa.fr> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, Mohamed Gouda <gouda(a)cs.utewas.edu>, davis(a)iastate.edu [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Eighth International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (formerly Symposium on Self-stabilizing Systems) (SSS 2006) November 17th-19th, 2006 Dallas, Texas, USA http://www.irisa.fr/sss/2006/ ============================================================================== Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS). ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Important Dates Paper Submission: July 7th, 2006 Notification to Authors: August 21st, 2006 Camera-ready: August 31st, 2006 Symposium: November 17th-19th, 2006 ============================================================================== The Symposium is a prestigious international forum for researchers and practitioners in the design and development of fault-tolerant distributed systems with self-* properties, such as self-stabilizing, self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing, self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and self-protecting. The theory of self-stabilization has been enriched in the last 25 years by high quality research contributions in the areas of algorithmic techniques, formal methodologies, model theoretic issues, and composition techniques. All these areas are essential to the understanding and maintenance of self-* properties in fault-tolerant distributed systems. Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of distributed systems. Now, more than ever, the theory of self-stabilization has tremendous impact in these areas. Therefore, this year, we are extending the scope of the symposium to cover all safety and security related aspects of self-* systems. The title of the conference has been changed to reflect this expansion. There will be three tracks: networking, safety and security, and self-* properties in static and dynamic systems. The symposium solicits contributions on all aspects of self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and programing, from theoretical contributions, to reports of the actual experience of applying the principles of self-stabilization to static and dynamic systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Stabilization: - self-stabilizing systems - self-managed, self-assembling, autonomic and adaptive systems - self-optimizing and self-protecting systems - self-* abstractions for implementing fundamental services in static and dynamic distributed systems - impossibility results and lower bounds for self-* systems - application of stabilizing algorithms and techniques in dynamic distributed systems - data and code stabilization - algorithms for self-* error detection/correction Safety: - safety critical systems - trust models and specifications - semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk and reputation - trust-related security and privacy - reliable and dependable systems - fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery Security: - security of network protocols - security of sensor and mobile networks protocols - secure architectures, frameworks, policy, intrusion detection/awareness - proactive security - self-* properties and their relation with classical fault-tolerance and security - security protocols for self-* systems Networks and Applications: - models of fault-tolerant communication - stochastic, physical, and biological models to analyze self-* properties - communication complexity - data structures for efficient communication - self-stabilizing hardware, software, and middleware - algorithms for high-speed networks, sensors, wireless and robots networks - mobile agents - peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, MANETs, and wireless mesh networks - network topologies, overlays, and protocols - protocols for secure and reliable data transport and search in wireless mesh networks - information storage and sharing in wireless mesh networks Contributors are invited to submit a PDF file of their paper. Submissions should be no longer than 4800 words and should not exceed 12 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11 point font and reasonable margins (the page limit includes all figures, tables, and graphs). Submissions should include a cover page (that does not count towards the 12 page limit) that includes paper title, authors and affiliations, contact author's e-mail address, an abstract of the work in a few lines, and a few keywords. Submitted papers may have appendices beyond the 12 page limit, but reviewers are free to disregard any material beyond the 12 page limit. A paper submitted to SSS 2006 is expected to be original research not previously published; a submission may not be concurrently submitted or to any other conference, workshop, or journal.

27 May '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Multimedia 2006] CFP Workshop on Content Protection & Security Datum: Sat, 27 May 2006 05:55:02 -0400 Von: ACM Multimedia Committee <acmsigmm(a)fastmail.fm> An: Multimedia Recipient <WOLF(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Workshop on Multimedia Content Protection and Security October 28, 2006 Santa Barbara, CA, USA Held in conjunction with the 2006 ACM Multimedia Conference -------------------------------------------------------- We are 'Living la Vida Digital' -- in the shadow an ever-growing mountain of digital data, and advances in technology enable media delivery scenarios that were not feasible before; today's service providers and content providers must embrace new business models in order to attract and sustain consumers. But as the volumes of data grow, so does the importance of, and challenges associated with, multimedia content protection and security. To address these challenges, it is imperative to devise effective and flexible solutions. New technologies offer convenient ways to distribute and consume digital media; yet these new technologies also make it relatively easy to quickly and flawlessly copy digital data, posing tremendous challenges to protecting intellectual property rights. Multimedia security standards aim to define specifications that facilitate effective and flexible content protection schemes and promote interoperability among applications. While that is the Holy Grail, developing secure multimedia applications and solutions in a distributed environment with competing technologies and emerging standards is an enormous challenge. During this workshop, we will explore ways in which a combination of emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovative solutions and technologies that enable new markets might drive both new applications and entirely new ways of managing content. We will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from several perspectives: researchers, consumers and content/service providers. CALL FOR PAPERS The intention of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from multimedia security communities (academia and industry) to share a vision of "Multimedia Security and Content Protection in this Rapidly Growing Digital World". That is, from identifying challenging problems that can shape the future of research, to practical applications and/or research that address issues posed by the convergence of television, computers and the Internet. We welcome papers on applications that combine emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovating solutions, and technologies that enable new markets. This workshop will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business, and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from the several perspectives: researchers, consumers, and content/service providers. We encourage submissions on papers on all topics in the general areas of multimedia security, multimedia content protection, emerging standards, interoperability, and practical applications issues. Papers that bridge across these areas are of special interest. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Content Protection - Broadcast Encryption - Public-Key Encryption - Forensic Analysis - Tracing Traitors - Revocation Schemes - Digital Rights Management - Cryptographic Applications Digital Watermarking - Applications - Protocols - Attacks - Techniques Platform Integrity - Software Tamper Resistance - Code Obfuscation - Software Watermarking - Hardware Tamper Resistance - Trusted Computing Applications, Standards, and Formats - Consumer Applications - Solutions for the Home Network - New business models in multimedia security - Challenges of Emerging Media Formats - Enabling technologies - Legal aspects We also welcome authors from industry to submit papers that describe solutions in all the areas above. These papers should point out the technical aspects of the work, such as: - Relevant implementation issues - Lessons learned - Problems addressed by the solution - Supporting technologies - Interoperability issues Submission Details: Papers should be at most 10 pages long prepared in the ACM style and written in acceptable English. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. Papers submitted must be original unpublished work and must not be simultaneously submitted or under review for any other workshop, conference or journal (including ACM Multimedia). Any paper found to be in violation of these rules will be rejected without review. (We may share information about submissions with the program chairs of other conferences considering papers during the review period.)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Wireless Technologies in Factory and Industrial Automation" Datum: Fri, 26 May 2006 22:46:10 +0200 Von: Andreas Willig <awillig(a)tkn.tu-berlin.de> Organisation: Telecommunication Networks Group An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please apologize for any duplicates. ------------------------------------ Wireless technologies have the potential of providing significant benefits in factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating makes plant setup and modification easier, cheaper and more flexible. It provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile equipment where wires are in constant danger of breaking. It enables new applications where wireless transmission is the only option, e.g., measurements and control of rotating or highly mobile devices, and provides a novel approach to existing applications, e.g., localization and tracking of goods. Wireless technologies do, however, suffer from time-varying error rates, interference and security problems. This imposes a number of problems, especially in the industrial application field, where often tight constraints in terms of reliability, safety, dependability and real-time requirements have to be fulfilled in order to avoid severe financial losses or even damage to equipment or life. Several other issues may arise, including the interconnection of wireless systems with legacy industrial communication systems, the provisioning of support for proper system planning, configuration and commissioning of wireless industrial communication systems as well as power feeding problems. The goal of this special section is to attract theoretical and practical papers attacking the main issues and challenges concerning the adoption of wireless technologies in industrial communications; reporting about implementation experiences; describing and evaluating the design of new applications of wireless technologies in industrial and automation systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Lower-layer protocols for ensuring efficient, reliable and timely data transmissions in industrial environments: physical layer, coding, MAC / link-layer techniques. - Wireless fieldbus systems, including hybrid wired/wireless systems and wireless extensions of wired configurations. - Wireless-aware, industrial type, higher-layer protocols. - Middleware for wireless industrial applications. - Standardization activities with special emphasis on wireless technologies for factory and industrial automation systems. - Security of wireless communication systems in industrial environments. - Applications of wireless technologies (incl. RFID) in factory/industrial automation systems, including innovative applications like wireless-based localization, tracking. - Field trials and low-level measurements (e.g., channel properties, interference) for the characterization of industrial environments. - System-level tools for wireless network planning and configuration in industrial settings. - Wireless power transmission in industrial environments. We seek original contributions not currently under review by other journals. All contributions must focus on industrial applications and requirements. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. The novelty of the contributions should be clearly indicated and related to the current state of the art. Manuscript preparation and submission: Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/ies/tii/ Submit using Manuscript Central only http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii Key dates: Paper submission deadline: August 31, 2006 Expected publication date: August 2007 Note: The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor in Chief and Editor at Large for special sections.
