-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on IoT Security and Privacy (deadline approaching) Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:34:41 +0200 Von: Yacine Challal <ychallal(a)hds.utc.fr> An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr A Special Issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks on “Internet of Things security and privacy: design methods, detection, prevention and countermeasures” http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… CALL FOR PAPERS =============== SCOPE of The Special Issue -------------------------- Recent advances in information and communication technologies and embedded systems have given rise to a new disruptive technology: the Internet of Things (IoT). This major development will lead to major changes in usage and to a transformation of the technological ecosystem in all its complexity. IoT will allow people and objects in the physical world as well as data and virtual environments to interact with each other so as to create smart environments such as smart transport systems, smart cities, smart health, smart energy, etc., as part of a prosperous digital society. IoT is likely to improve the quality of people’s lives, create new markets and new jobs, increase economic growth and be an impetus for competition. However, IoT raises important questions and introduces new challenges for the security of systems and processes and the privacy of individuals. Some IoT applications are tightly linked to sensitive infrastructures and strategic services such as the distribution of water and electricity and the surveillance of assets. Other applications handle sensitive information about people, such as their location and movements, or their health and purchasing preferences. Confidence in and acceptance of IoT will depend on the protection it provides to people’s privacy and the levels of security it guarantees to systems and processes. IoT will enable objects to become active participants: these objects will be able to recognize events and changes in their environment and to sense and react autonomously without human intervention. Introducing objects into the control processes makes IoT security very difficult to address. Indeed, the Internet of Things is a complex system in which people interact with the technological ecosystem based on smart objects through complex processes. The interactions of these four IoT components: persons, intelligent objects, technological ecosystem, and processes highlight a systemic and cognitive dimension to the security of IoT. The interaction of people with the technological ecosystem requires the protection of their privacy. Similarly, their interaction with control processes requires to guaranteeing their safety. Processes must ensure their reliability and realize the objectives for which they are designed. The move towards a greater autonomy for objects will bring the security of technologies and processes and the privacy of individuals into sharper focus. Furthermore, in parallel with the increasing autonomy of objects to perceive and act on the environment, IoT security should move towards a greater autonomy in perceiving threats and reacting to attacks. This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on Internet of Things Security and Privacy: design methods of secure IoT applications and architectures, security attacks detection, prevention and counter measures. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. About the Topics of Interest ---------------------------- In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to • Methods for secure by design IoT • Methods for IoT security analysis and audit • Privacy and anonymization techniques in IoT • Secure cloud of things • Trust management architectures • Lightweight security solutions • Authentication and access control in IoT • Identification and biometrics in IoT • Liability and policy enforcement in IoT • Virtualization and auto-immunity of smart objects • Security of Big data in IoT • Cyber physical systems security • Cyber attacks detection and prevention • Ethics and legal considerations in IoT Editor in Chief --------------- Ian Akyildiz Georgia Institute of Technology Guest Editors ------------- Yacine Challal University of Technology of Compiegne, France Enrico Natalizio University of Technology of Compiegne, France Sevil Sen Hacettepe University, Turkey Anna Maria Vegni University of "Roma TRE", Italia Important Dates ---------------- - Submission deadline: May 15th, 2014 - First round notification: July 15th, 2014 - Second round deadline: August 31st, 2014 - Final notification: October 15th, 2014 - Final papers: December 15th, 2014 Submission Format and Guideline ------------------------------- All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT'14 Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:58:50 +0200 Von: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> Antwort an: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers The ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT conference travels to another continent to complete its first decade as one of the major forums for presentations and discussions of novel computing technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The goal of the conference is to foster technical interactions among members of computer and communication networks research at large through a single track program promoting their most promising works. This new installment of the conference is proudly committed to the three values that made the conference successful for nearly ten years: Recognizing farsighted excellence, by selectively choosing papers with substantial novelty and research contribution. Promoting a broad definition of networking research, by welcoming submissions based on implementation and experimentation as well as theoretical analysis. Assuring authors of submitted papers a fair and thorough review process, with sound and detailed feedback guaranteed to each submissions in proportion of its scientific merit and potential. Scope The Program Committee of ACM CoNEXT seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer and communication networks. We especially encour- age submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies and new insights made possible using analysis or computing concepts rarely found among networking researchers. We invite submissions on a wide range of networking research including : * Networking aspects of mobile, wireless and ubiquitous computing * Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures * Network control and management, including datacenter, enterprise and SDN * Security and privacy aspects of computer networks and protocols * Theory and performance analysis of networking architectures and applications * Novel application of other fields to computer networking We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends and potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We invite the authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. These should be clearly substantiated and explained. Submission Authors must submit their papers electronically, following the guidelines available on the ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT web page. The committee encourages substantiated results with a succinct presentation. All papers will be part of a single track. More details will be provided on the format of the papers closer to the submission date. The selection of presentations will be based on peer-review by program committee members. This year, in an effort to inform judgment on the selection of presented papers, the PC will organize a rolling early feedback phase. During that time, and before review are completed, PC members are able to request authors for clarifications, typically on assumptions made and results obtained. Authors of submitted papers who receive such a request have the non mandatory option to answer that request within a week. We encourage this interaction espe- cially to give a chance to a minority of "controversial" papers that could be of special interest to our community, but raises important concerns that need to be addressed. Publication The proceedings of the conference will be published by the ACM.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] COMNET Special Issue on Robust and Fault-Tolerant Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 07:34:23 +0000 Von: Prosper Chemouil <prosper.chemouil(a)ORANGE.COM> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG Special Issue on *Robust and Fault-Tolerant Communication Networks* *Description of the Special Issue* Network services over communication networks play a vital role in our modern private, corporate and institutional lives. This importance is expected to continue to grow in future decades. More and more business, healthcare or government organizations will become increasingly dependent on the communication between their departments, offices and people. In addition, the dynamics and mobility within these circles is growing significantly, due to changing business relations, social or environmental phenomena. Not only does society depend on these services in terms of availability but also in terms of proper functioning in all circumstances: services having stringent requirements with respect to protection of privacy, security, anonymity (such as e-health) cannot accept, for example, temporary leakage of confidential information by accident whether a result of human error or technical problems. The information and communication network technology itself has also been evolving with high velocity. End-user’s connection speed grows by 50 % per year (Nielsen’s Law); users have more and more different types of mobile devices which interconnect them to the Internet (tablets, smartphones, smart watches, etc.). These themselves provide incentives to generate novel technology paradigms which enable more flexible provisioning, network (function) virtualization, or improved power efficiency. The robustness and fault tolerance of these novel evolutions is as crucial as ever. This special issue aims to collect publications with cutting-edge insights, analysis, designs and/or evaluations in the field of the reliability and availability of communication networks and services. The editors welcome submissions from experts from industry, governments and academia experienced in engineering, network design or modeling. *Topics of Interest* Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Management and operational aspects in network reliability (e.g. fault management/monitoring, or control) * Robust methods for correct operation of privacy, security and anonymity schemes. * Reliability and recovery of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Network (Function) Virtualization (NFV) * Self-healing and autonomic networks * Green Networking and reliability/dependability * Methods and theory for survivable network and systems design, analysis and operation (including scalability and complexity) * Planning, design and optimization of reliable networks, systems, and services * Simulation/emulation techniques for network resilience * Application and service-specific survivability techniques * Reliability and resilience of data centre networks, grid networks and cloud computing services * Communication networks as an element of critical infrastructures * Public policy, economical or commercial issues for survivability and resilience * Risk and reliability in the Internet and enterprise networks * New and emerging threats (such as self-healing, self-organizing mechanisms and short-coming in network control software being turned against the network itself) *Submission Details* All received submissions within the scope of this special issue will be sent out for blind peer review by three experts in the field and be evaluated in regards to the relevance for this special issue, level of novelty, depth of contribution, and overall quality. Submitted articles must be original, unpublished, and not currently under review by other journals. If the paper was preliminarily published in a conference, the submitted manuscript must be a substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are also required to explain the enhancements made in the journal version. Submitted articles must be written clearly, in good English, and should not exceed 25 pages, everything included such as abstract, figures, tables, references, etc. Authors should follow the Computer Networks manuscript format which can be found at _http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-aut…. Manuscripts should be submitted online through the Elsevier Editorial System _http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/_ and authors should select ' Fault Tolerant Comm Nets ' as the article type for submission. *Important Dates* Paper Submission Due: June 1, 2014 Acceptance Notification: August 1, 2014 Final Papers Due: September 15, 2014 Publication Target Date: December, 2014 *Guest Editors* *Dr. Achim Autenrieth* ADVA Optical *Dr. Deborah Frincke* NSA/CSS *Prof. Dr. Didier Colle* Department of Information Technology (INTEC) Ghent University - iMinds, Belgium *Dr. Wouter Tavernier* Department of Information Technology (INTEC) Ghent University - iMinds, Belgium _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM CHANTS 2014 (co-located with ACM MobiCom): initial announcement and call for papers Datum: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 17:32:19 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants14_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Elisabetta Biondi <chants14_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ************************************* [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************* ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014 7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA www.acm-chants.org/14 Supported by the FP7 EU MOTO project http://www.fp7-moto.eu ______________________________________________________________________ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting, for example, findings in the area of social networking. The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions. This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network Coding in Challenged Networks - Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks - Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use (e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing, sensor networks) - Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Please follow the submission link at: http://www.acm-chants.org EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS _____________________ Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), in a special section on Challenged Networks.

Wireless sensors and actuators are increasingly networked and continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. Domain-specific sensing deployments in industrial or home automation scenarios are becoming more and more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for interfacing with or extending dedicated sensor networks. Nevertheless, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary, including the hardware platforms of sensor and actor nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Integrating sensor networks and the internet of things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to April 30- CFP: COMCOM special issue on mobile social sensing

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Shibo He <shibohe.cn(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. April 2014 19:18:56 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to April 30- CFP: COMCOM special issue on mobile social sensing *Call for Papers:* *Special issue on **Mobile Ubiquitous** Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint* *Scope:* The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing *Tentative Schedule* Manuscript Due: April 30, 2014 (extended) First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Mobile social sensing" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. *Guest Editor* *Jiming Chen (corresponding editor)* Zhejiang University (E-mail: jmchen(a)ieee.org) *Shibo He* Arizona state university (Email: shibohe(a)ieee.org) *Enrico Natalizio* <https://www.hds.utc.fr/~enataliz/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=> Université de Technologie de Compiègne (Email: enrico.natalizio(a)hds.utc.fr) *Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini* Politecnico di Torino <http://www.polito.it/> (Email: chiasserini(a)polito.it ) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
