-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] MONET SI on Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile Communication Networks -- EXTENDED DEADLINE Datum: Sat, 1 Dec 2012 01:31:02 +0100 Von: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)UM.ES> Antwort an: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)UM.ES> Organisation: University of Murcia (UMU), Spain An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 (2011 Impact Factor: 0.838 -- 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.494) Special Issue on Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile Communication Networks The advances in wireless communication technologies toward 4G networks and the wide use of mobile devices have enabled users to communicate with each other and receive a wide range of mobile wireless services through various types of access networks and systems everywhere, anytime. However, the always-connected mobile device usage model brings to the foreground new security and privacy issues for both the end-user and network/service provider. For example, such a multi-domain and heterogeneous environment poses serious threats to the end-user who has contract with and trusts only a limited number of operators and service providers. In this respect, secure, reliable, and privacy-preserving communications combined with constant network availability are essential factors for the adoption of any service or application that utilize wireless technologies. Also, the tight-coupling of these wireless network domains to the Internet make them more susceptible to attacks. New security challenges emerge constantly due to the open nature of the wireless medium, the dynamic network topology, the lack of common security/privacy policy used by network operators, the resource constraints of the mobile devices and, in some cases, the lack of a pre-deployed infrastructure. The objective of this special issue is to foster state-of-the-art contributions in the area of security, privacy, and its applications for future mobile communication networks. In particular, our focus will be on network layer security with the intention to address all aspects of the modeling, designing, implementation, assessment, deployment and management of mobile network security and privacy-preserving mechanisms, protocols and architectures. We encourage original and high quality contributions to the evaluation, enhancement of security and privacy-preserving mechanisms for current mobile technologies as well as novel proposals for efficient security and privacy solutions of emerging mobile and wireless technologies. Possible topics include but are not limited to: - Lightweight Security Infrastructure - IMS security and privacy issues - Privacy and anonymity - Intrusion detection and avoidance - Modularized security architectures and implementations - Threat and vulnerability modeling - Lightweight AAA infrastructures - Privacy and Security Compliance - Security issues related to mobility in heterogeneous networks - Security of mesh networks - Trust establishment, negotiation, and management - Secure Multicast/Broadcast Service - Lightweight cryptography - Cross Layer approach to security - Key agreement, distribution and management - Trusted Platform Modules - Access control management systems - Privacy-preserving location-based services - Secure social networking for mobile devices - Biometric solutions for mobile devices - Security and privacy for QR codes - Reputation management models - Secure mobile ecosystems - Formal security verification methods All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication.

This advance heralds in a new era for patient monitoring, medical procedures, patient status awareness, outpatient treatment, and a plethora of other areas in modern healthcare. Developments in component miniaturization of electronics and sensing devices, advances in low-power wireless communication, and the arrival of energy harvesting have led to the development of ultra-low power wireless communication and sensing devices that are ideally suited for mobile healthcare applications. These devices can be installed in medical facilities and equipment, or worn directly on a patient's body, allowing for real-time data acquisition, data fusion, reporting, and alerting from a plethora of sources. This allows for an unprecedented level of insight into a patient's health, with a similarly high level of fidelity of the collected data that in many cases is sufficient to allow biometric identification of an individual. With the advent of these new e-Health applications and their associated requirements and constraints, many vital topics of research need to be explored to provide robustness, security, responsiveness, and longevity of the wireless network and patient health information. This special issue focuses on the state-of-the-art in wireless networking for e-Health applications, associated technical and regulatory challenges, as well as exploring deployments and implementations in real-world applications. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Applications of Wireless Networks in e-Health - Real-World e-Health environments from design to operation - experiences, problems, and insights - Cross-Layer Design for e-Health applications - The PHY Layer of WSN, WBAN, and other e-Health Wireless Networks - MAC and Routing in e-Health Wireless Networks - Privacy, Security and Trust for e-Health applications - Biometrics using WBANs and its applications - Ensuring Energy Efficiency - Energy Harvesting for low-power wireless networking in e-Health applications - RF Interference and Coexistence - Mobility in e-Health applications - Modeling, Simulation, and Performance Evaluation for e-Health technologies - Collaborative, Opportunistic, and Cognitive Wireless Technology in e-Health - Trends, Future Applications and Research Challenges for Wireless Networks in e-Health - Regulatory Challenges and Commercialization of e-Health solutions - Data Collection, Data Storage, Data Sharing, and Cloud Services for e-Health - Analysis of e-Health products for compliance, security, performance Manuscript Submission ------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original scientific articles for review. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere will be considered. Papers should be tutorial in nature to help non-expert readers gain a good understanding of the topic. The papers should also discuss recent advances and future research topics.

IEEE PERVASIVE Special Issue: Attention Management
by Andreas Riener 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Attention Management in Pervasive Computing ------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: 1 March 2013 Notification: 26 April 2013 Publication: Jan.–Mar. 2014 Finely-woven, globe-spanning digital networks, together with the radical miniaturization and embedding of information, communication, and sensor electronics into almost everything, have made human-to-computer bonds truely ubiquitous and pervasive. Accordingly, our approach to human-computer interaction is reversing: while HCI previously addressed issues related to how humans initiate interaction with ICT systems, we now increasingly observe ICT system designs that also approach humans. Within this "human computer confluence", human attention—more than processor speed, communication bandwidth, and storage resources—becomes the single most critical (yet least understood) resource in pervasive system design today. While previously considered a mental variable that could not be quantified and measured, attention now constitutes a fundamental element of psychological research. Today, everyone has an intuitive understanding of what attention is, how it can be assessed, and how it impacts perception, memory, expectation, awareness, relevance, decision-making, and other behaviours. This special issue focusses on novel approaches to attention modelling, attention representation, attention sensing, recognition or estimation, together with attention management as a theoretical and practical principle for designing Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing systems. We welcome multi-disciplinary articles not only from the core Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing community, but also from Behavioural Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Brain Research linked to attention management system design principles. Potential topics include: ------------------------- - Theories and formal models of attention, theory driven modelling, evidencing theories Attention sensing and data-driven attention modelling (including recognition chains, mining Big Data) - Attention estimation from behaviour (gaze, speech, pose, effort, somatic indicators) and from mental effort (memorizing, response time) - Attention recognition (pattern recognition, machine learning) and management architectures (goals, plans, decision making) - Individual attention (perceptual load, cognitive load, recall performance, consciousness, overt vs. covert attention, focus and periphery of attention) and sensors (EEG, FOVA, SC, BVP, ...) - Collective attention (information diffusion, novelty propagation, sharing, consesus finding) and sensors (social networks, microblogs, tweets, web/phone, exploiting patterns ...) - ICT design based on the economics of attention: design principles, interaction principles, interface designs, attractors - Attention management system architectures, tools and development frameworks - Attention management showcases, success stories, and user studies in application domains of societal significance—for example, health care systems, intense care and control centers, electronic workplaces and electronic trading systems, mission-critical construction and engineering, avionic and automotive systems, energy and environmental protection systems, safety and security systems, monitoring and surveillance systems, crisis observatories, sales and digital signage systems, art installations, public advertising, public opinion building, etc. Questions? ---------- For more information about the focus, contact the Guest Editors Alois Ferscha <ferscha(a)pervasive.jku.at>, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz Joe Paradiso <joep(a)media.mit.edu>, MIT Media Laboratory Roger Whitaker <r.m.whitaker(a)cs.cardiff.ac.uk>, Cardiff University Submission Information ---------------------- Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine's guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications, and all accepted articles will be edited according to Computer Society guidelines. Submissions should be received by 1 March 2013 to receive full consideration. For general author guidelines or submission details: www.computer.org/pervasive/author.htm or pervasive(a)computer.org.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final Call - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier Special Issue: Wireless Networks Intrusion (30 Nov. 2012) Datum: Thu, 22 Nov 2012 20:27:50 +0800 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies, for multiple copies of the CFP]* Call for Papers * *Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier (Impact Factor: 1.157) Special Issue on Wireless Networks Intrusion *http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computer-and-system-sciences/* * *Overview: * The security mechanisms for various wired networks are more or less well-defined. Especially when intrusion detection and prevention techniques are considered, wired networks appear to be in a much better status than their wireless counterparts. Indeed, security concerns are, still, a significant impediment to widespread adoption of wireless networktechnologies. Because of the use of wireless communications technology, structure of the wireless networks, limited resources available on wireless devices, and open nature of wirelesscommunications, employing an effective and efficient intrusion detection and prevention system for detecting and thwarting malicious attacks against wireless communication still remains a great challenge to researchers. On the other side, recent increase in the interest in anywhere, anytime, anybody’s network with the aid of wirelessself-organizing networks has made the demand of effective intrusion detection and prevention techniques even more critical. We consider four types of wireless networks under wireless self-organizing networks (SON) category: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Wireless Mesh Network(WMN), and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET). The status quo of these networks lacks standardized mechanisms for intrusion detection and prevention. In particular for WSN, with limited resources of the involved tiny sensor nodes, employing such defensive and/or preventive mechanisms is, indeed, a tough challenge. If the system is distributed, the nodes may not be able to run the system; if centralized and controlled by the base station, the system may not serve the actual purpose of intrusion handling within the actual deployed network. We are interested, in this Special Issue, to put together the latest advancements in these related areas and to get the thoughts of the researchers, practitioners, and users of these technologies. The articles could be from the theory and/or practical perspectives. Extensive review articles on specific topics are most welcome. The articles are expected to touch up on any of the four types of SONs, namely MANET, WSN, WMN, and VANET. The targeted topics for this special issue are (though the list should not be considered exhaustive): - Intrusion detection schemes - Intrusion prevention schemes - Tracing back mobile attackers - Secure routing with intrusion prevention - Access control - Authentication mechanisms - Resource efficient intrusion detection & prevention - Anomaly detection - Specification based detection - Misuse detection - Intrusion detection vs Intrusion prevention - Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques - Game theory based techniques - Physical intrusion in WSN - Cross-layer based intrusion detection - Agent based intrusion surveillance, detection and prevention *Important Dates: * Manuscript due date: November 30, 2012 First round review notification: February 30, 2013 Revised paper due: April 30, 2013 Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 25, 2013 Submission of final manuscript: May 15, 2013 *Submission Guidelines and Review Process: * All papers should be submitted via email to the corresponding editor at sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com (with a CC to sakib(a)iium.edu.my).

Conference on Communications (ICC'13) Budapest, Hungary, June 9-13, 2013. http://e2nets.org/ *********************************************************************** Important Dates *************** Abstract Registration: January 4, 2013 Paper Submission Deadline: January 11, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 22, 2013 Camera-Ready Submission: March 8, 2013 Scope ***** The two seemingly distinct topics of E2Nets are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to a GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. E2 network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Topics ****** In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency * Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency * Energy-efficiency measures * Energy-efficient flooding/multicast * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for energy efficient scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure * Hybrid fiber-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals * Energy efficient ad hoc network services * Energy efficient wireless sensor networks and their applications * Energy efficient Service discovery and Service Provisioning * Energy efficient algorithms and implementations in Internet of Things and Future Internet To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, this workshop considers the following topics on wireless networks for energy efficiency: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems, including transportation, houses, buildings, industrial processes, and smart cities. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications, * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * Energy efficient radio resource management * Energy efficient home automation and energy monitoring * Applications to Smart grids Tentative Committee ******************* General Chair * Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada * Ignas Niemegeers, WMC, TU Delft, The Netherlands TPC Chairs * R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Datum: Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:24:01 +0100 Von: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG *** Our Sincere Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Computer Communications Journal Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Submission Deadline: February 10, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The widespread availability of mobile portable devices enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, coupled with the impelling need of communication anytime and anywhere, has rapidly raised the interest towards new approaches to communications between users. Opportunistic networks are an instance of the delay tolerant paradigm applied to networks made up of users' portable devices (such as smartphones and tablets). As such, they are able to cope with challenged network conditions that are often present in real life, such as high node mobility, variable connectivity, and disconnections, which would impair communications in traditional Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. In this scenario, user mobility becomes one of the main drivers to enable message delivery. In fact, according to the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, user devices store messages and carry them around while they move in the network, exchanging them upon encounter with other nodes, and eventually delivering them to their destination or to interested users. This new communication paradigm enables legacy applications in challenged scenarios, as well as it paves the way to innovative solutions. While opportunistic networks initially received attention to support communication where an infrastructure is not available (for disaster recovery or in rural areas), nowadays a number of applications can be envisaged ranging from content sharing, through mobile social networking, to participatory and urban sensing. All these applications rely on data forwarding amongst devices. As a consequence, two aspects become relevant, that is, the need for mechanisms guaranteeing trusted and secure communications while preserving users' privacy (in the absence of infrastructure and sometimes even end-to-end connectivity), and incentive mechanisms able to boost the participation in the network. This Special Issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Mobility measurements and models, mobility trace analysis - Measurements, models, and analysis for user behaviors on mobile devices - Unicast and multicast routing - Transport, congestion control, and reliability issues - Content dissemination, content caching, service composition, opportunistic computing - Trust, security & privacy in opportunistic forwarding, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems, and key management - Application support and middleware for opportunistic networks - New applications and services relying on opportunistic networking - Systems and experience for real-world deployments Schedule -------- Submission deadline: February 10, 2013 Author notification: May 24, 2013 Revised paper due: June 30, 2013 Final author notification: September 16, 2013 Publication: TBD Guest Editors ------------- Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Korea Melek Onen, EURECOM, France Joerg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Elena Pagani, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy Instructions for submission --------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP 2nd IEEE Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’13) at IEEE ICC 2013

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> Gesendet: Fri Nov 16 17:47:08 MEZ 2012 An: "tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu" <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Betreff: [Tccc] CFP 2nd IEEE Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’13) at IEEE ICC 2013 *Call for Papers** *2nd IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’13) Held in conjunction with IEEE ICC 2013, Budapest, Hungary *Goals and Topics** *Healthcare providers from around the globe are currently faced with significant challenges due to an exponential rise in costs, increased demand for services, and limited access to financial and human resources. This is directly linked to the fact that people are living longer with an expected 761 million of us being over the age of 65 by 2025. This will increase the risk of chronic disease and other co-morbidities amongst the elderly and estimates suggest that treating this particular group of people currently accounts for 78% of all healthcare expenditure (over a trillion US dollars per year) with spending expected to be $4.3 trillion in 2018 compared to $27.5 billion in 1960. Whilst increasing life expectancy is at an all-time high, it has become difficult to sustain. One suggestion is that quality of life and life expectancy can be increased through healthy aging and lifestyle choices. Positive behavioural changes will empower people and support the prevention of acute episodes, including the provision of provide better services that are tailored to people’s healthcare needs. This presents a unique opportunity were the use of information and communications technology could be used to support the delivery and management of healthcare services. Building on advances in Smartphone technologies and wireless communications it is possible to bridge the gap between people and medical facilities and transform healthcare services and clinical intervention within the community. These technologies, as well as allowing us to make a phone call, text a friend, or update our social networking site, provide access to vital data about a person that can be collected and analysed to support research, medical and healthcare education, and clinical practice with less reliance on secondary care (hospital admissions). Empowering people in the community, particularly the aging population, allows them to evaluate lifestyle choices and to take control of their own healthcare needs. Diseases, such as diabetes and obesity are often caused by an accumulation of unmonitored health-related choices, such as poor nutrition and lack of exercise, which occur over decades rather than weeks or months. Smartphones, body sensors, and wireless communications provide the necessary tools to host community healthcare services and applications capable of real-time monitoring and analysis of lifestyle choices. Using digital diaries, social networking, SMS, amongst other technologies, makes it possible to manage adherence and provide education about relevant medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, sexual health, poor nutrition and the lack of exercise. All this will have the ability to empower people and encourage personal consumer healthcare beyond what is currently possible. Nonetheless, due to the criticality of healthcare and the complex coordination and delivery of healthcare services it is not surprising that we have not seen widespread adoption of mobile ICT in health. The healthcare domain is sensitive to change and this will require new processes, methodologies and tools, and this comes at a time when sustainable health is becoming increasingly more difficult. From a technical perspective, a number of challenges still remain and form part of the topics under this call for papers. The workshop seeks workshop proposal submissions (consisting of a paper) on all theoretical and practical aspects of mobile consumer healthcare networks, services and applications, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below: • Mobile applications for elderly healthcare • Mobile applications for adherence monitoring in aggressive treatment regimens • Mobile devices for healthcare • Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps • Mobile interfaces for data Visualization • Mobile devices for patient monitoring • Ad hoc and wireless sensor systems and networks • Mobile data management and processing • Mobile and wireless technologies for healthcare applications • Radio-Frequency (RFID) wireless technology in medical devices • Wireless Identification and Services Platform (WISP) for mobile healthcare • Medical Device Control via Wireless Technology • Safe, Effective, Secure and Reliable Use of Wireless Technology in healthcare • Wearable and implantable sensors • Sensor Networks for ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare • Health specific wireless communication protocols in healthcare (WMTS, IMS, MICS) • Wireless Body Area Networks • Consumer Healthcare (cHealth) • Stream reasoning algorithms for behaviour and activity monitoring *Guidelines for Submission** *Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript length (maximum 1 additional page with over-length page charge if accepted). http://www.ieee-icc.org/2013/submguide.html The paper should be used as the basis for a 20 - 30 minute workshop presentation.
