-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Transactions on Embedded Systems - Special issue on "Embedded Systems and Security" Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 22:26:00 +0200 From: Dimitrios N. Serpanos <serpanos(a)ee.upatras.gr> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies for multiple copies ****************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS for ACM Transactions on Embedded Systems -- Special Issue on Embedded Systems and Security (also available at http://www.ee.princeton.edu/~lekatsas/cfp.html ) Deadline: March 1, 2003 ******************************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Transactions on Embedded Systems Special Issue on "Embedded Systems and Security" Technological progress in embedded systems has led to their wide deployment and use in an increasing range of applications, from mobile phones to car, plane and spacecraft and from digital Ids to military systems in the field. Embedded systems are being used in autonomous systems (e.g., smart-cards, PDAs, etc.) as well as in networked systems (mobile phones, TV subscription boxes, etc.). Several of the applications that use embedded systems require support for security to a small or large degree, leading to different security needs of each system and application. These differences in addition to the resource limitations of embedded systems to implement security have led to a large number of research and development efforts in the area of "security and embedded systems". This special issue will include papers with significant technical contributions to embedded systems security, while providing an overview of important research and development efforts in this emerging technical area. Topics covered in the issue include (but are not limited to): * security systems architectures with emphasis in embedded systems * embedded systems in security (hardware and software) * autonomous secure computing systems * security subsystems for general-purpose processors * special-purpose processors for security * security systems in wireless and mobile networks * architectures for intellectual property protection * tamper-proof and tamper-resistant systems * smart-card technology and applications * secure Personal Digital Assistants * security subsystems for e-transactions, e-payments and e-applications Important dates: ---------------- * Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2003 * Feedback to authors: July 1, 2003 * Publication date: late 2003 Submission information: ----------------------- Authors are required to submit their paper electronically through the web site http://acm.manuscriptcentral.com Dimitrios N.

07 Jan '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network special issue on protection, restoration, and disaster recovery Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 14:17:35 -0500 From: Debanjan Saha <DSaha(a)tellium.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu IEEE Network Call for Papers Protection, Restoration, and Disaster Recovery http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/cfpnetwork2003.pdf Guest Editors: Debanjan Saha, Tellium, Inc. Satish Tripathi, University of California James Manchester, Tellium, Inc. Scope: Technological innovations are enabling today's networks to carry increasingly higher volumes of data, much of which is mission critical. As networks grow and become an integral part of our daily lives, the consequences of a failure become more pronounced. Even a brief outage can result in the loss of very large amounts of critical information and disrupt our day-to-day life and business. Network protection and automatic restoration can minimize the impact of network failures. Such protection mechanisms are generally implemented at several protocol layers and are the subject of this special issue. The objective of this special issue of IEEE Network Magazine is to assemble a series of state-of-the-art articles on protection, restoration, and disaster recovery in different layers of the network. In particular, we are interested in tutorial, survey, and original research articles on, but not limited to, the following topics: * Traditional SONET/SDH Ring protection mechanisms * Optical mesh protection, Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) * IP network restoration - MPLS, fast convergence of routing protocols * Protection and restoration in ATM and Frame Relay networks * Restoration in wireless and wireline telephone networks * Signaling network (SS7 etc.) protection and recovery * Disaster recovery in OSS and network management systems * Resiliency at the application layer, emergency services (e.g. 911) * Multi-tier restoration and interaction of different layers * Experimental studies, applications impact Submission Guidelines: Interested authors should submit an electronic version of the manuscript either in Postscript or PDF format as an email attachment to one of the guest editors. Additional information including "Guidelines for authors" is available at the IEEE Network Website: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html Important Dates Submission Deadline: February 15, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2003 Final Manuscript Due: August 15, 2003 Publication Date: November/December 2003 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] CFP: J-SAC Special issue on ALL-IP WIRELESS NETWORKS Date: Tue, 24 Dec 2002 20:24:47 +0800 (CST) From: Jyh-Cheng Chen <jchen(a)mx.nthu.edu.tw> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org (We appologize if you received multiple copies of this Call.) CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications ALL-IP WIRELESS NETWORKS IP (Internet Protocol), which is already a universal network-layer protocol for wireline packet networks, is becoming a promising universal network-layer protocol over all wireless systems. IP provides a globally successful open infrastructure for creating and providing services and applications. An all-IP wireless and wireline network could make wireless networks more robust, scalable, and cost effective. It will also enable the abundant applications and software technologies developed for IP networks to be used over wireless networks. Today's many different wireless systems, ranging from PANs (Personal Area Networks), wireless LANs (Local Area Networks) to wide-area cellular systems, are often not compatible with each other which makes it difficult for a user to roam from one radio system to another. No wireless technology has emerged as a common and long-term universal solution. With IP as the common network layer protocol, an IP-based mobile device (with multiple radio interfaces or software defined radio) could roam between different wireless systems. The papers in this issue will focus on state-of-the-art research in all-IP wireless networks. Submission for Beyond 3G (B3G) systems will be included. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to, the following topics: o Systems and Architecture o Access Protocols o Transport Protocols o Signaling Protocols o Resource Management o Power Control and Management o QoS Provisioning o Security o Mobile VoIP o Video over Wireless Internet o Network Performance Analysis o Internetworking o System Integration Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered. Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors on the inside back cover of any issue of J-SAC. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a pdf version of their complete manuscript (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 Mbyte) online via http://wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw/~jsac according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: FEBRUARY 1, 2003 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2003 Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2003 Publication: 1st Quarter 2004 Prathima Agrawal Telcordia Technologies Room 1J244B 445 South St Morristown, NJ 07960 USA Tao Zhang Telcordia Technologies Room 1J214B 445 South St Morristown, NJ 07960 USA Cormac J.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP - Network Convergence: Realizing a Dream, or a Nightmare? Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 13:45:06 -0800 From: Samir Chatterjee <samir.chatterjee(a)cgu.edu> To: 'tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Information Systems Frontiers Journal - Special Issue “Network Convergence: Realizing a Dream, or a Nightmare?” Introduction of digital technologies, telecommunications deregulation and significant advances in broadband networking are fueling convergence of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), PC-based enterprise data networks and the Internet. Only a few years ago, computing, telecommunications, broadcasting and media were separate industries each following distinct business models and building on technologies that had little overlap. Today the Internet Protocol (IP) is clearly becoming a common global packet-platform over which several new and exciting applications and services can be offered. The rapid emergence of “converged networks” is already having far reaching impact on business processes. As the Internet continues to evolve into a critical global infrastructure, there is a clear need to understand the technical, economic and regulatory issues posed by convergence, before it can be used effectively for competitive advantage. This special issue of Information Systems Frontiers (http://www.som.buffalo.edu/isinterface/ISFrontiers/) seeks papers that address different aspects of the phenomenon of network convergence, including technology, strategy and policy. Theoretical and simulation models, case studies documenting field deployment of convergence technologies are all welcome. Topics include but are not limited to:  Impact of newer edge-devices on demand for converged services.  Security and privacy concerns in converged networks.  Regulatory issues associated with deploying Voice over IP  Impact of convergence on network management costs  Quality of service issues in converged networks  impact of network convergence on business value chain  SIP, signaling, NAT/Firewall problems and solutions  Large-scale video-conferencing and federated security models, implementation  Planning methods to migrate towards a converged enterprise infrastructure  Impact of converged networks on knowledge management and sharing  Relationship between ICT technologies and knowledge workers  Impact of competing broadband access technologies on rollout of converged services  Impact of converged networks on collaborative activities  QoS-enabled pricing strategies  Reorganizing business structures to leverage convergence *TIMETABLE:* Manuscripts due: January 30 2003 Initial acceptance notification: April 15, 2003 Revised manuscripts due: May 15, 2003 Final Manuscripts due: June 1, 2003 Scheduled publication date December 2003 Manuscripts may be submitted electronically as Word or PDF documents to any one of the guest editors: Samir Chatterjee Amitava Dutta Associate Professor Eakin Endowed Chair in E-Commerce School of Information Science School of Management Claremont Graduate University George Mason University Claremont, CA 91711 Fairfax, Virginia 22030 USA USA (909) 607-4651 (703) 993-1779 FAX : (909) 621-8564 FAX : (703) 993-1809 e-mail : samir.chatterjee(a)cgu.edu e-mail: adutta(a)som.gmu.edu Vinay B.
