[Fwd: 2nd Call for Papers Workshop "Sicherheit in komplexen, vernetzten Umgebungen"]
by Lars Wolf 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2nd Call for Papers Workshop "Sicherheit in komplexen, vernetzten Umgebungen" Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2005 17:36:03 +0200 From: Michael Meier <mm(a)INFORMATIK.TU-COTTBUS.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. Fachgruppe SIDAR Call for Papers Workshop Sicherheit in komplexen, vernetzten Umgebungen Im Zeitraum 19.-22. September 2005 Bonn, Deutschland Workshop im Rahmen der 35. Jahrestagung "Informatik LIVE!" der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. www.gi-fg-sidar.de/skvu2005 Einen unaufhaltsamen Trend der heutigen Informationsgesellschaft stellt die zunehmende Vernetzung von Computersystemen in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen dar. Den vielfältigen sich daraus ergebenden Vorteilen steht eine zunehmende Menge von Bedrohungen entgegen, die auf vielen Ebenen einen Einfluss auf das Leben und die Gesellschaft haben können. Getreu dem Motto "Informatik LIVE!" der diesjährigen Jahrestagung der Gesell- schaft für Informatik möchte sich der hier beschriebene Workshop mit diesen Einflüssen und gezielten Reaktionen darauf auseinandersetzen. Die Ziele und Methoden der "klassischen" Informationssicherheit werden auch in zukünftigen komplexen vernetzten Umgebungen Bestand haben, jedoch verlagern sich die Schwerpunkte und Abhängigkeiten zusehends. So stehen beispielsweise Fragestellungen wie Verfügbarkeit und Modell- ierung von Vertrauen in solchen Umgebungen eher im Mittelpunkt als Verfahren zur Sicherstellung von Vertraulichkeit und Integrität. Vor diesem Hintergrund möchte dieser Workshop den Dialog zwischen Experten aus dem Bereich der Informationssicherheit anregen und vertiefen. Dieser Workshop soll - ergänzend zu etablierten Veranstaltungen dieser Art - aktuelle Erkenntnisse und Ergebnisse von Forschungsarbeiten zu- sammentragen, die Lösungen für die sich aus der verstärkten Vernetzung ergebenden Probleme anbieten. Über die Vorstellung von Forschungser- gebnissen hinaus können Konzepte für zukünftige Arbeiten, praktische Erfahrungen und praxisrelevante Erkenntnisse zum Wert dieser Veranstal- tung beitragen. Hintergrund =========== Der Gedanke der angestrebten komplexen Vernetzung von Systemen (als wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Vision eines Ubiquitous Computing) hält in verschiedenen Bereichen Einzug. Durch die Vernetzung von Computersystemen sind kürzeste Wege zwischen Sensoren und Effektoren sowie dadurch bedingt eine erhebliche Verkürzung von Entscheidungspro- zessen möglich geworden, sodass Informationen schnellstmöglich an allen Orten zur Verfügung stehen, an denen sie gebraucht werden. Damit kann man eine erhebliche Steigerung der Effektivität erzielen. Eine intensive Vernetzung zieht eine Reihe von Implikationen auf Archi- tekturen und Systeme nach sich, denen beim Entwurf und der Entwicklung von Verfahren zur Aufrechterhaltung der Informationssicherheit in ver- stärktem Maße Rechnung zu tragen ist. Hierzu gehören: - Komplexe Verknüpfungen von Sicherheitsdiensten (z. B. Zugriffskontrolle, Vertraulichkeit und Non-Repudiation). - komplexere Modelle für Vertrauen (Trust), - besonders große und heterogene Kommunikationsumgebungen (draht- gebunden vs. drahtlos, stationär vs. mobil), - Verknüpfung unterschiedlicher Sicherheitsdomänen und Netzüber- gänge (z. B. durch Information Flow Control), - Ressourcen-Transparenz (die sich auch Angreifer zunutze machen können). Im Rahmen des Workshops soll sich ein breiteres Verständnis für die zukünftig wichtigen Themengebiete und Methodiken entwickeln. Ebenso soll sich eine Diskussion der Sicherheitsrisiken ergeben, die trotz neuartiger Ansätze entstehen können. Insgesamt können so Bereiche auf- gezeigt werden, denen bislang noch zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wurde, in denen aber noch wesentliche Forschungsarbeiten zu leisten sind. Themenvorschläge ================ Es wird um die Einreichung von Beiträgen aus den folgenden und verwand- ten Gebieten - unter spezieller Berücksichtigung des geschilderten Hintergrundes - gebeten: - Intrusion Detection / Response in integrierten Sicherheits- architekturen (z.B. Software Embedded Sensors), - Kooperierende Sicherheitssysteme für Koalitionsumgebungen, - Intruder Tracing / Forensische Analyse in transparenten dynami- schen Netzen, - Intrusion Detection / Response / Tolerance in mobilen Ad-hoc- Netzen, - Sicherheit in Sensornetzen, - Dynamische Modellierung von Sicherheitsrichtlinien (Policies), - Integration von Honeypots, Honeynets und Honeytokens in beste- hende Sicherheitsysteme. Einreichungen ============= Jeder Beitrag wird von mehreren Gutachtern des Programmkomitees bewer- tet. Angenommene Beiträge werden auf dem Workshop präsentiert und dis- kutiert. Die Beiträge werden im Tagungsband der INFORMATIK 2005 ver- öffentlicht, der in der von der GI herausgegebenen Reihe "Lecture Notes in Informatics LNI" erscheinen wird. Akzeptierte Beiträge sollen bis zu 5 Seiten umfassen.

A single-track conference, MMNS will provide participants with an intimate setting for discussion and debate. MMNS has established itself as a premier conference for research and innovation in management of emerging multimedia technology and networking services. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from industry and academia researching and developing state-of-the-art management systems, while creating a public venue for results dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The demand for real-time services, integrated multimedia communications and mobile application services thrives in today's consumer and corporate market. The need to evolve management tools and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobility and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, data/voice convergence and the integration of computing and communication in all devices. Concepts such as autonomics, self-healing, self-organized and adaptive computing systems are bringing both the academic and industry research communities together to address the challenges of managing complexity and systems problems, where management is inevitably key. MMNS broadly solicits research in network and service management and new models, architectures and designs in technology and services to enable multimedia proliferation. This year, MMNS 2005 will continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, but also emphasize and solicit novel research in management of integrated multimedia services.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: E-NEXT.members: CfP - Special Issue of Annals of Telecommunications Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2005 19:06:40 +0200 From: Guy Leduc <Guy.Leduc(a)ULG.AC.BE> To: Members E-Next Mailing List <members(a)ist-e-next.net>, ifip-tc6(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de, transport(a)internet2.edu CC: Congduc.Pham(a)ens-lyon.fr -------------------- LAST CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------- ANNALS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS ---------------------------- Special issue on Transport Protocols for the Next Generation Networks http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~cpham/ADT-TCP/ADT-TCP.html New networking technologies with optical-based transmission as a foundation for achieving tremendous throughput in the order of tens of Gbit/s are changing the face of the wired Internet with new large scale high-performance infrastructures such as computational grids. In the wireless domain, mobility and ubiquitous access to the Internet is driving the emergence of new value-added applications and exhibiting new user needs. Self-organizing wireless networks such as ad-hoc networks may eventually become the natural way of connecting end-users to the network. In this all-digital, all-connected world, transport protocols have the very difficult task of providing reliable, fair and efficient communications to millions of (groups of) users with very different needs and profiles, across different underlying technologies. High-speed networks, often referred to as long fat networks, raise the problem of fair and efficient congestion control mechanisms. Wireless environments with mobility and ad-hoc features bring new concerns. Fast heterogeneous networks face all these difficulties. This special issue is devoted to these problems. We solicit two categories of contributions: (1) survey papers presenting state-of-the-art studies, and (2) papers presenting an original and unpublished work or experiment on, but not limited to, the following topics: * TCP variants or new transport protocols for high-speed networks * TCP optimisations and tuning methodologies, results from real experiments * New congestion control mechanisms for high-speed networks * Transport protocols for heterogeneous networks * Experiments and prototype implementations and lessons learnt * Multipeer and multicast transport protocols * Transport protocols in wireless/mobile/ad-hoc environments * Transport protocols for (near) real-time traffic * Performance modelling of TCP on high-speed or wireless networks * Fairness issues in new transport protocols * Transport protocols in all-optical networking * Very high-speed transport protocols for computational grids Paper Submission We invite you to submit a paper that should have a length of 25000-35000 characters. The preferred language for the contribution is english. Instructions for formatting your paper according to the journal's rule can be found in english (http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~cpham/ADT-TCP/Editorial_instructions.pdf) or in french (http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~cpham/ADT-TCP/Consignes_projets_articles.pdf).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking (DEADLINE EXTENDED!) Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2005 20:46:22 -0500 (EST) From: Xudong Wang <wxudong(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: SIGMOB(a)ACM.ORG, manet(a)ietf.org [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================== Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Wireless Mesh Networking: Theories, Protocols, and Systems http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/mesh_cfp.htm SUBMISSSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to: April 15, 2005. ============================================================== Wireless mesh networking has become an indispensable technique for the next generation wireless networks. It is critical to large-scale wireless networks with no pre-existing infrastructure. It enables quick-and-easy extension of a local area network into a wide area. Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to various flavors of routing and transport protocols. However, the work is far from enough. The state-of-art is insufficient for deploying sizable wireless mesh networks. Important aspects such as network radio range, network capacity, scalability, manageability, and security remain open problems. To address capacity and scaling concerns, researchers are experimenting with systems that use multiple radios, frequency-agile radios, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas. Further, there are renewed interests in carrying out research on MAC protocols and cross-layer design that breaks the traditional networking layering norm. It is clear that such novel techniques are needed to increase system capacity, extend network range, and increase scale, if such networks are to become viable. Similarly, while there exist several security protocols for wireless networks, especially for IEEE 802.11 WLANs, it is still not clear how one can build a trustworthy network in a multi-hop ad hoc environment like wireless mesh networks. Finally, although new research results are published each year, progress on practical protocol implementation and system integration has lagged considerably. To ensure wireless mesh networks to be widely deployed, many research groups are starting to accumulate practical experience through building testbeds and deploying trial systems. In parallel to these efforts, several IEEE standard groups are also actively pursuing wireless mesh networking techniques. This special issue is devoted to the research and development of practical, deployable, and low-cost wireless mesh networks. Papers from both industry and academia will be solicited through an open call-for-papers. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, -- Techniques for capacity and range extension -- Multi-radio, multi-spectral systems -- Cognitive and frequency-agile radios -- Multichannel MACs, MAC protocol for directional antennas and MIMO systems -- High-performance scalable single-channel MACs -- Programmable MACs -- Cross-layer design and optimization -- Trustworthy networks, privacy and security models -- Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems -- Mobility, power, and topology management -- Network management with zero-configuration -- Practical system architecture of wireless mesh networks -- Testbed and deployment experience -- Application and usage scenarios -- Emerging standards: IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.15.5, IEEE 802.16 mesh, IEEE 802.20 mesh ============================================================== SUBMISSION Manuscript Due: April 15, 2005 Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: October 15, 2005 Publication: December, 2005 Prospective authors should follow the following guidelines to prepare their manuscripts: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Xudong Wang (wxudong(a)ieee.org) no later than April 1, 2005. ============================================================== GUEST EDITORS Xudong Wang Senior Staff Research Engineer Kiyon, Inc.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Paper: JSAC-MRNM Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2005 02:25:13 -0800 (PST) From: Fan Zhao <fanzhao(a)ucdavis.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications MOBILE ROUTERS AND NETWORK MOBILITY http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/mobile_routers.html Network mobility support is concerned with managing the mobility of an entire network that is changing its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability in the Internet topology. If network mobility is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in 1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights. This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics: * Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router o Protocols for route optimization o Mobility issues inside a mobile network o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization o Nested mobile networks o Multihomed mobile networks o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks o Auto-configuration for mobile networks o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms * Services in the Networks that Move o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that move o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility o Encryption and authentication in service access for network mobility * Security Issues in Network Mobility o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally) Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. Authors MUST submit their draft manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website, together with a short abstract (approximately 150 words) in the EDAS website form. Please note potential authors should create their own accounts through the EDAS peer review website before submitting manuscript(s). EDAS will accept manuscripts in PDF format only. There will be one round of reviewers and acceptance will be limited to those papers requiring only moderate revisions.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting (EUROSYS 2006 Call for Papers) Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 14:40:15 -0800 From: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> Reply-To: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> To: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG EUROSYS 2006 Leuven April 18-21, 2006 http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/conference/EuroSys2006/ EuroSys2006 is the first of a series of system conferences located in Europe. It welcomes submissions and attendance from all over the world. It will be held in Leuven, Belgium, April 18-21, 2006. EuroSys aims to bring together researchers from different areas of computer systems, who are otherwise spread over multiple conferences. As a result, we seek papers on all aspects of computer systems. We especially seek papers that cross the divide between areas and address: * All areas of operating systems and distributed systems * Systems aspects of: - Programming language support - Databases - Distributed algorithms - Middleware - Parallel and concurrent computing - Clusters and grids - Mobile and pervasive computing - Embedded computers and tiny devices - Novel user interfaces - Real-time computing - Security - Dependable computing - Novel uses of information technology - Management, measurement and monitoring * Experience with existing systems * Reproduction of previous results * Negative results * Early ideas Papers should report, where possible, on the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of such systems. However, at least one session of the conference will be reserved for "idea" papers. These papers may not be held to the same standards in terms of evaluation as other submissions. Similarly, one session of the conference will be reserved for "experience papers", reflecting on the use or the lack of use of earlier concepts. For such papers, novelty of the concept is less of an issue, but depth of evaluation is of paramount importance. Authors may but need not designate their paper for one of these sessions. To encourage diversity, any single author will be limited to at most two submissions. To avoid conflict of interests, papers authored by program committee members will be held to a significantly higher standard, and their number in the final program will be severely restricted. Reviewing will not be blind. Authors should feel free to include their affiliation in the paper, and include all references in full. Papers will be reviewed by the program committee with the help of outside referees. The primary criterion for acceptance will be the impact of the work on the systems community and the extent to which the papers bridge gaps between different communities. Novelty, clarity of explanation and thorough evaluation will be additional criteria. Papers may be provisionally accepted, subject to further shepherding by a member of the program committee before final acceptance. The conference does not have a predefined format or a target number of accepted papers. Papers will be accepted or rejected based on their merits, and the conference will be organized in a format that accommodates the number of papers that meet that criterion. Papers should not exceed 14 pages double column including figures and tables in standard ACM format. Papers that exceed this length will be rejected without consideration of their merit. Papers must be submitted electronically in printable postscript or pdf form. For detailed submission instructions, refer to the submission web site.

In general, a message containing a group of such announcements will be sent about once per month with the subject line "SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE monthly posting". On rare occasions, announcements of particular interest or urgency will be sent out with a different subject line, starting with "SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting" (for readers who wish to use mail filtering programs).

IEEE Symposium on New Frontiers in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN) will be held 8 - 11 November in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Current radio technology trends promise to enable "Dynamic Spectrum Access" (DSA) networks, using wide-band spectrum sensing, real-time spectrum allocation and acquisition, and infrastructureless mesh networks. Not only do these trends challenge the existing technologies, they challenge the traditional "command and control" methods of allocating and licensing spectrum by government fiat. IEEE DySPAN 2005 will be a new, first-of-its-kind symposium on DSA Networks that brings together the technologists designing and building these new exciting devices with the spectrum policy community that will be charged with re-architecting the legal regime for managing spectrum in the 21st century that must accommodate these new technologies. DySPAN 2005 seeks original, previously unpublished papers with either a Technology focus or a Policy, Law & Economics focus as well as Position Papers which are innovative and forward-looking and offer new insights that show promise of pointing out future research directions.
