-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP ReArch'08 Datum: Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:21:17 +0200 Von: marcelo bagnulo braun <marcelo(a)it.uc3m.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Sorry if multiple copies are received ------------------------------------------------------------- ReArch’08 - Re-Architecting the Internet “Exploring what is broken with the Internet architecture and how to fix it.” Madrid, Spain 9 December, 2008 co-located with ACM CoNEXT'2008 sponsored by ACM Sigcomm http://www.sigcomm.org/co-next2008/rearch.html Motivation The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, operational and management requirements, business models, security mechanisms and scalability enablers give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regard to the original design principles. While these mechanisms are necessary for Internet operation under current economical, technical and social conditions, their combination has significantly reduced the potential for incremental evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. This workshop will discuss what the real underlying problems are with the Internet and how we might fix them so that the Internet architecture re-gains its simplicity and transparency and is fit for another 30+ years, so that the architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet can be regained and retained for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze, and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'08 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, how the following impact on that architecture: New networking paradigms New business models New routing architectures New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms Measurements and analysis that characterize the real architectural limitations New architecture proposals and their implications for research New protocols that address the limitations Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture Principles of evolving future architectures Requirements for interworking with the existing Internet, and for deployability. Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked. Submissions must be original and not already published in any other conference proceedings or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most 6 pages long (including figures, tables, references, etc.) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will be done via EDAS.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IJAACS special issue on Security, Trust and Privacy in DTV and VANETs [Deadline extended to July 1] Datum: Wed, 28 May 2008 12:54:34 +0900 Von: Zonghua Zhang <zonghua.zhang(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Referenzen: <abcc67750805272053g7ab36051jc377daeaebc22cf(a)mail.gmail.com> Apologies for possible cross-posting. Please feel free to distribute this CFP to your colleagues. Call for papers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems ( IJAACS)* Special Issue on: "Security, Trust, and Privacy in DTN and Vehicular Communications" *http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=857 * -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recent years have witnessed the rapid development and wide-spread application of wireless communication technologies, which have significantly enhanced access to Internet services and provide various means for ubiquitous computing that enables high-speed and high-quality information exchange between mobile/portable devices located anywhere in the globe. Among the various application scenarios enabled by these technologies, DTN (Delay-Tolerant Networks) and VANETs (Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks) represent the most promising and popular ones, as they are characterized by autonomous and adaptive communications. DTN concerns partial sub-networks, aiming at providing network connections between devices and areas that are not well-served by current networking technology. The nodes in DTN carry the packets while they are moving, and then forward the packets once a wireless connection is available between them. Vehicular communications allow the real-time information exchange between vehicles and infrastructures, with the objective of enhancing road safety and optimizing road traffic. VANETs are primarily enabled by inter-vehicular (or Car-to-Car, C2C) communications and vehicle-roadside communications (or Car-to-Infrastructure, C2I). Despite their tremendous potential and far-reaching impacts on the revolution of human life, both DTNs and VANETs suffer from security and privacy issues which dramatically limit their applications. First of all, they have similar vulnerabilities to other wireless networks, which allow attackers to manipulate and inject messages, breaching system availability, confidentiality and integrity. Besides the traditional prevention techniques, trust management may serve as another security basis for nodes cooperation and information dissemination. Furthermore, the unique characteristics of DTNs and VANETs such as uncertain mobility and unpredictable latency, make security for those networks even more challenging. In particular, due to the frequent disconnections between nodes in DTNs, distributed certificate authorities rather than centralized ones are more desirable (while the frequent distribution of a large amount of certificates should be avoided due to high round-trip time), and the user credentials/keys should be updated periodically instead of relying on revocation messages. Moreover, due to the sporadic connectivity and long delay of message transmissions in DTNs, secure message management is needed to eliminate expired messages and avoid information leakage. In VANETs, the high-speed mobility and the large number of network entities call for time-efficient and cost-saving authorization and authentication models, as well as fast attacker detection, revocation and trace back schemes. In addition, both DTN and VANETs suffer from the privacy-invasive issue, which naturally arises in the environment where the mobile equipments are bounded to the moving users. A suite of privacy-preserving techniques are required to provide the fine level protection of the critical information and user profiles, e.g., a set of equipments related to a particular user in DTNs, personal information (and the liability in case of authority investigation) related to drivers and passengers in VANETs. This special issue is devoted to the most state-of-the-art proposals and cutting-edge research achievements on security and privacy issues in both DTN and VANETs. *Object Coverage* We solicit papers that report original and unpublished work on topics including, but not limited to, the following: - Anonymity, authentication and key management - Attacker trace back - Denial of service and Sybil attacks - Identity theft and phishing in VANETs - Location privacy and user privacy - Intrusion detection, misbehaviour detection and response - Privacy preserving - Revocation of compromised nodes - Security models/architectures and threat models - Secure communications protocols - Secure positioning - Secure billing in VANETs - Surveillance and monitoring - Tamper proof device - Trust management - Vulnerability/attacker modeling and analysis *Notes for Prospective Authors* Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

[Tccc] CFP: 1st ACM Workshop on Network Data Anonymization - deadline extended to June 1st
by Elisa Boschi 27 May '08

27 May '08

[apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] -- Deadline extended to June 1st! -- 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.

However, various applications and media formats may have different quality evaluation criteria and control parameters. For example, scalability and interactivity are very crucial performance metrics for 3D graphics scene model representation and delivery, while they may not be that important for some other multimedia applications. Thus, there is a strong impetus to develop new quality evaluation methodologies for various media formats under different multimedia application scenarios. Recently, cross-layer design has become a popular design methodology for enhancing Quality-of-Service (QoS) over various multimedia communications systems. However, most existing cross-layer designs for QoS provisioning in multimedia communications are mainly focused on improving network-oriented QoS such as throughput, delay, and jitter, while the multimedia application-oriented QoS have not been fully considered in the existing cross-layer design optimization. Therefore, quality-driven multimedia communications need to be extensively investigated under various communications scenarios involving audio, video, VoIP, image, and/or graphics. Under such a background, it is very important to highlight the importance of quality-driven cross-layer design as one of the enabling technologies for the next-generation quality-aware service-oriented multimedia networks. The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of quality-driven cross-layer designs for multimedia communications. Original completed and unpublished works not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: User perceptual quality enhancement methodology Media quality measurements for communications applications Optimized 3D graphics scene representation and transmissions Optimized image/video representation and transmissions Optimized audio/speech coding and transmissions Content-aware cross-layer design and optimization Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design Quality-driven cross-layer design architecture Quality-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control Quality-driven cross-layer MAC and routing protocols Cross-layer protocol stacks for quality support Performance evaluation of quality-driven cross-layer system design Standardization issues related to quality-driven cross-layer design Cross-layer design for P2P streaming Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks *Submission Procedure: * Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published at www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/tmm/infotmm.html <http://www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/tmm/infotmm.html>.

CfP Autonomics 2008
by Falko Dressler 26 May '08

26 May '08

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Invitation & Call-for-Papers ***** AUTONOMICS 2008 ***** 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics.eu/ September 23-25, 2008, Turin, Italy In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The Autonomics conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics 2008 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: June 8, 2008 Notification of acceptance: July 10, 2008 Final version due: August 15, 2008 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through Easychair <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=autonomics2008>.

[Tccc] CHANTS 2008 Call for Demos Reminder
by Katia Obraczka 26 May '08

26 May '08

The demo submission deadline for CHANTS 08 is fast approaching. See the Call for Demos below. Katia Obraczka UC Santa Cruz CHANTS'08 Demo Chair ============== Call for Demos Third Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2008) Co-located with Mobicom 2008, 15 September 2008, San Francisco, CA, USA Workshop URI: http://wavedesk.usc.edu/chants/ Important Dates: Demo submission deadline: 5 June 2008 Demo acceptance notification: 16 June 2008 Camera-ready due: 29 June 2008 Workshop date: 15 September 2008 Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes and widely varying network conditions. Nodes in today's challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices. The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2007, CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. CHANTS 2008 Demonstration Program offers an excellent way to showcase to attendees from academia and industry tangible results from research and development in the exciting area of challenged networks. Demos have the ability to communicate ideas and concepts in a very powerful way. We invite you to contribute your vision and experience with challenged networks to CHANTS 2008 Demonstration Program. Demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable, too. Accepted demonstration abstracts will be published in the Conference proceedings. Topics: Characterization of performance-challenged networks e.g. measurements, modelling. Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks. Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks. System architecture and design for challenged networks. Applications in challenged networks. Robust network application design and implementation techniques. Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN). Configuration and management of challenged networks. Format and submission instructions: Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements. Submitted abstracts should be formatted in two columns, with characters no smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Demo proposals should be sent as a pdf e-mail attachment to chants08-demo(a)inrg.soe.ucsc.edu. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
