In addition to inheriting most of the security and privacy problems of the standard networked environment, the special characteristics of the mobile and wireless environments introduce new challenges that have only begun to be studied. It is vital that researchers and developers investigate and address these new challenges before they have a chance to cripple the promise of the mobile wireless future. To that end, the International Workshop on Research Challenges in Mobile and Wireless Security and Privacy will bring together leading researchers and developers in the security and privacy fields to study the special problems and challenges of the mobile and wireless environments. The goal of the workshop is to foster communication not only between the different security and privacy communities, but also between those communities and the distributed systems and information systems communities. Such collaboration is vital to achieve a high degree of security and privacy, without which the use and safety of mobile and wireless computing will be limited. Scope: ---------- The objective of the workshop is to define and establish a common infrastructure of the discipline and to develop a consensus-based document that will provide a foundation for implementation, standardization, and further research. The workshop will identify and define fundamental concepts and techniques, resolve conflicts between certain approaches in the area and provide a common ground for advanced research and development in security and privacy, concentrating on the special challenges of the mobile and wireless environments. The topics that will be addressed include, but are not limited to, the following, all as they pertain to the mobile and wireless environment: * Security issues in wireless LANs * Security issues in wireless Internet * Special security issues for mobile devices * Location privacy * Security issues in ubiquitous and pervasive computing * Security in wireless ad hoc networks * Mobile IP security * Wireless communication security * Trust and privacy issues in mobile environments * New vulnerabilities in wireless and mobile environments * New threats to privacy in wireless and mobile environments * Cryptology in mobile and wireless applications * Denial of service attacks in mobile and wireless environments * Intrusion detection systems for mobile and wireless environments * Security issues in Web services for mobile and wireless environments * Security issues in electronic mail in mobile and wireless environments * Firewalls and VPNs for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy leakage in mobile and wireless environments * Authentication and authorization protocols for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy-enhancing technologies for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy and policy issues in mobile and wireless environments * Access control in mobile and wireless environments * Electronic commerce security for mobile and wireless environments Workshop Format: ------------------- The workshop format will encourage productive interaction among participants. It will consist of the presentation of position papers and invited papers on new developments and current trends, with ample time allocated for group discussions. This format should provide a forum for collaborations to develop among members of the different research and development communities. Attendance will be limited and attendants will be asked to contribute to a consensus-based paper on security and privacy to be published after the workshop. Submission: ------------ Authors are invited to submit position papers discussing issues in the mobile and wireless networks security and privacy that must be addressed to achieve consensus. Position papers that challenge existing ideas in mobile and wireless networks security and privacy with new research, technologies and visionary applications are also encouraged. Position papers should be between 10 and 25 pages in length, and should include the title, author(s), authors' affiliation and an abstract. Submitters should also indicate their willingness to contribute to the final report. Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. If electronic submission is not possible, five (5) hard copies of the paper should be sent. Contact information for both forms of submission is provided below.

The goal of the workshop is to foster communication not only between the different security and privacy communities, but also between those communities and the distributed systems and information systems communities. Such collaboration is vital to achieve a high degree of security and privacy, without which the use and safety of mobile and wireless computing will be limited. Scope: ---------- The objective of the workshop is to define and establish a common infrastructure of the discipline and to develop a consensus-based document that will provide a foundation for implementation, standardization, and further research. The workshop will identify and define fundamental concepts and techniques, resolve conflicts between certain approaches in the area and provide a common ground for advanced research and development in security and privacy, concentrating on the special challenges of the mobile and wireless environments. The topics that will be addressed include, but are not limited to, the following, all as they pertain to the mobile and wireless environment: * Security issues in wireless LANs * Security issues in wireless Internet * Special security issues for mobile devices * Location privacy * Security issues in ubiquitous and pervasive computing * Security in wireless ad hoc networks * Mobile IP security * Wireless communication security * Trust and privacy issues in mobile environments * New vulnerabilities in wireless and mobile environments * New threats to privacy in wireless and mobile environments * Cryptology in mobile and wireless applications * Denial of service attacks in mobile and wireless environments * Intrusion detection systems for mobile and wireless environments * Security issues in Web services for mobile and wireless environments * Security issues in electronic mail in mobile and wireless environments * Firewalls and VPNs for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy leakage in mobile and wireless environments * Authentication and authorization protocols for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy-enhancing technologies for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy and policy issues in mobile and wireless environments * Access control in mobile and wireless environments * Electronic commerce security for mobile and wireless environments Workshop Format: ------------------- The workshop format will encourage productive interaction among participants. It will consist of the presentation of position papers and invited papers on new developments and current trends, with ample time allocated for group discussions. This format should provide a forum for collaborations to develop among members of the different research and development communities. Attendance will be limited and attendants will be asked to contribute to a consensus-based paper on security and privacy to be published after the workshop. Submission: ------------ Authors are invited to submit position papers discussing issues in the mobile and wireless networks security and privacy that must be addressed to achieve consensus. Position papers that challenge existing ideas in mobile and wireless networks security and privacy with new research, technologies and visionary applications are also encouraged. Position papers should be between 10 and 25 pages in length, and should include the title, author(s), authors' affiliation and an abstract. Submitters should also indicate their willingness to contribute to the final report. Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. If electronic submission is not possible, five (5) hard copies of the paper should be sent. Contact information for both forms of submission is provided below. The accepted papers will be distributed to the participants prior to the workshop and will also appear in print together with the consensus paper after the workshop.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] International Conference on Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing - Symposium on "Next Generation Mobile Networks" Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2005 23:59:20 -0400 From: Shahrokh Valaee <valaee(a)comm.utoronto.ca> Reply-To: valaee(a)comm.utoronto.ca To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> --------------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers International Conference on Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (ICWCMC 2006) Sheraton Wall Centre, Vancouver, Canada, July 3-6, 2006 http://www.iwcmc2006.cs.wmich.edu/ Symposium on “Next Generation Mobile Networks” http://conferences.ece.ubc.ca/ngmn2006/ CALL FOR PAPERS Scope: Next generation wireless mobile networks are characterized through the integration of different wireless access technologies and convergence of wired and wireless networks. Third generation wireless cellular systems such as UMTS and cdma2000 are expected to interwork with other broadband Internet access technologies such as hot spot services or multi-hop access networks (e.g., wireless mesh networks), to provide a wire-line compatible service to mobile Internet users. Standards such as IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, and IEEE 802.21 are emerging to provide new broadband wireless access services. Network convergence is regarded as a major challenge in the evolution of next generation wireless mobile networks. In general, due to the heterogeneity in the wireless access techniques and the requirement of providing multimedia services, the issue of QoS provisioning and enforcement in the future generation mobile networks will become a critical issue for the wireless access equipment vendors, networks service providers, and customers. Cross-layer transmission protocol engineering along with application-oriented signaling protocols, and creation of new services will be required for efficient network resource utilization and bring profitability to the service providers. The symposium on “Next Generation Mobile Networks” will focus on all aspects of next generation mobile network architecture and try to gather the state-of-the art research activities in this area. It will focus on network architecture, protocols and service platforms, addressing areas such as the evolution towards the so-called 4G mobile networks; the integration of heterogeneous network technologies such as fixed, mobile and satellite access; operational aspects of next generation networks such as resource management, mobility management, charging and QoS provisioning; performance analysis and optimization models. Symposium Topics: Topics include but are not limited to: * Next generation broadband wireless mobile network architectures and protocols * Heterogeneous wireless mobile networks * Internetworking among heterogeneous wireless and wire-line networks * Integration of 3G and broadband wireless networks (e.g., IEEE 802.16a) * Integration of 3G and meshed (multi-hop) wireless networks * Scheduling, call admission control, bandwidth adaptation, and error control protocols * Solar powered wireless mobile networks and protocols for energy efficiency * Pricing models for broadband mobile multimedia networks * Service provisioning through IP multimedia subsystem * Application-oriented protocols * Modeling, performance evaluation, and optimization techniques * Mobility, location and handoff management in heterogeneous mobile networks * QoS specification and metrics for mobile multimedia networks * Multimedia QoS and traffic management in mobile networks * Network resource management and QoS provisioning * Multi-protocol architectures and devices * Network control and signaling * Proxies and middleware for wireless mobile networks * Next generation broadband satellite systems * Terrestrial-satellite integration scenarios & techniques * Cross-layer protocol engineering for wireless mobile networks * Mobile multicasting * Wireless mobile network security and privacy * Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) over heterogeneous mobile networks * Emerging applications of wireless mobile networks (e.g., wireless telemedicine) Schedule: * Paper submission deadline: December 15, 2005 * Notification of acceptance: April 15, 2006 * Final manuscript due: May 30, 2006 Symposium Chair: Victor C.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: E-NEXT.members: Second International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurement (WiNMee) Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2005 12:09:06 +0200 From: Kave Salamatian <Kave.Salamatian(a)lip6.fr> To: members(a)ist-e-next.net The Second International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurement (WiNMee) (co-located with WiOpt) April 3, 2006 Boston, Massachusetts, USA http://www.winmee.org/ WiNMee 2006 will be the second international workshop on Wireless Network Measurement. The first workshop, WiNMee 2005, was held in Lago di Gardi, Italy, and was highly successful with 32 submissions and 13 accepted papers. This year we hope to build on the success of last year by bringing researchers together to discuss the next generation of wireless network measurement research. Wireless networking has attracted much recent interest. Nonetheless, performance evaluation of wireless protocols, networks, and applications are still largely based on simulations. Only recently have researchers turned their attention to measuring real-world networks; building models based on real-world data, and using testbeds to more realistically evaluate their proposed ideas. Accurate network measurements have proven to be a different and a greater challenge than in wired networks. Accurate data models that reflect the unique characteristics of wireless networks have also proven to be more of a challenge. Wireless network testbeds have proven to be yet another difficult environments in which to work due to the many unique properties of the wireless medium. For example, results in wireless testbeds are often difficult to reproduce due to performance variations caused by location, weather, time of day, and other uncontrollable external variables. Testbeds are also challenging because implementing novel solutions often requires significant changes to the network as well as careful observation and measurement. The committee for WiNMee 2006 is soliciting 6 page papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments, either in testbeds or in the field. Topics include: * Operational experience on the performance of wireless networks * Challenges with wireless measurements * Experimental (in)validation of assumptions in a wireless environments * Metrics for wireless network for performance evaluation * Wireless network troubleshooting techniques and recommendations * Experience with building/designing wireless networks * Description of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds * Techniques for testbed scaling * Techniques for improving experiment repeatability * Techniques for validating results obtained from wireless testbeds * Methods for simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Mobility pattern implementation Important Dates Submission deadline: December 4, 2005 Notification deadline: January 26, 2006 Camera-ready due: February 26, 2006 Workshop: April 3, 2006 Submission Instructions Submitted papers should not exceed 6 pages in length and should be formatted in two columns with a point size greater or equal to 10.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Inter-vehicular communications (special issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine) Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2005 15:33:59 +0800 From: Daniel Wong <daniel_wong(a)ieee.org> To: dwong(a)must.edu.my Dear fellow researchers in inter-vehicular communications --------------- Call for Papers --------------- ************************************************* IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Inter-Vehicular Communications" ************************************************* pdf version of this CFP is available at <http://www.3g-wireless.net/IVC-CFP.pdf> Wireless communications technologies (cellular phones, wireless LANs, etc.) have enabled many of the conveniences in our lives, and also increased our day by day productivity. Another area where there is much potential for wireless technologies to make a tremendous impact is the area of inter-vehicular communications (IVC). The field of IVC is also known as vehicle-to-vehicle communications (V2V) and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). There are numerous emerging applications that are unique to the vehicular setting. For example, safety applications would make driving safer; driver information services could intelligently inform drivers about congestion, businesses and services in the vicinity of the vehicle, and other news. Mobile commerce could extend to the realm of vehicles. Existing forms of entertainment may penetrate the vehicular domain, and new forms of entertainment may emerge, all supported by the inter-vehicular communications capabilities. These emerging services are currently not well supported. Numerous research challenges need to be addressed in order for inter-vehicular communications to be widely deployed. The combination of unique features of inter-vehicular applications and networking opens new opportunities for many interesting research areas. The communications networking between cars has different characteristics from other communications networking problems. For example, because of the rapidly changing topology as cars move around, there are similarities with ad hoc networking scenarios. However, the constraints and optimizations are different. Power efficiency is not as important for inter-vehicular communications as it is for traditional ad hoc networking, since vehicles have a powerful and rechargeable source of energy. Vehicles in general are also constrained to move within roads (and within lanes most of the time). The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the variety of research being conducted in IVC and survey the state-of-the-art in this field. We solicit original unpublished manuscripts not currently being considered elsewhere for publication. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: + Service creation and management + Vehicular communications applications in general + Navigation safety applications + Content distribution to vehicles + Vehicle data collection and harvesting + Role of IVC in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) + Link and physical layer issues, algorithms and protocols + Cross-layer protocol design + Network architectures, system architectures + Inter-working of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications + Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc. + Vehicle movement simulation + Security for IVC + Network management for IVC + Mobility management Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, no more than 6 tables/figures, and no more than 15 references. Further submission guidelines are available online at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html.

[Fwd: [ISCC06] 2nd CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ISCC06] 2nd CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 12:27:10 -0400 From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Second Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------- ACM Transactions on Internet Technology http://www.acm.org/toit/soa-middleware-cfp.pdf ---------------------------------------------- Special Issue on ----------------------------------------- Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing ----------------------------------------- Middleware is a distributed software layer that sits above the network operating system and below the application layer and abstracts the heterogeneity of the underlying environment. It provides an integrated distributed environment whose objective is to simplify the task of programming and managing distributed applications, and to provide value-added services such as naming and transactions to enable easier development and integration of applications and services. Middleware is about integration and interoperability of applications and services running on heterogeneous computing and communications devices. The role of middleware will continue to become increasingly important especially in emerging technologies such as mobile- and service-oriented computing and web services, where the integration of different applications and services from different wired and wireless businesses and service providers become increasingly important. Service-oriented computing is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is an architectural style for building software applications that use services available in a network such as the web. It promotes loose coupling between software components so that they can be reused. Applications in SOA are built based on services, which is an implementation of a well-define business functionality, and such services can be consumed by clients in different applications or business processes. SOA provides a level of flexibility that was not possible before in the sense that services are software components with well-defined interfaces that are implementation independent, that services can be dynamically discovered, and composite services can be built from aggregates of other services. Especially applications running on mobile devices can benefit from the flexibility which is provided by SOA. All those benefits, however, raise challenges that need to be addressed by middleware. Middleware will play an essential role in managing and provisioning service-oriented applications. As a result, middleware will be everywhere! The aim of this special issue is be to present most recent research findings on “middleware for service-oriented computing”. We are seeking papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: Middleware for selection and interaction among services Middleware for dynamic selection and composition of services/applications Middleware for dynamic coordination of services/applications Middleware for context-aware services/applications Middleware for managing services/applications Middleware for provisioning QoS-enabled services/applications Middleware for interoperable services Performance evaluation of middleware for service-oriented computing Submission Guidelines --------------------- All papers must be submitted by the midnight (EST) of December 1, 2005. The page limit is 50 double-spaced pages, with a 12pt font size. Please email your paper in PDF format to papers AT cis.uoguelph.ca.
