August, 2004 GENERAL INFORMATION With more and more devices getting smart and interconnected, ad hoc and sensor networks will open up a realm of new communication and data exchange opportunities. These upcoming networks are characterized by their dynamic structure, lack of a pre-established fixed infrastructure, and constrained resources. In order to allow their successful deployment, various security challenges must be met. Examples include missing `a priori' security associations, no clear line of defense, the lack of a trusted infrastructure, complex multiple domain relationships, as well as bandwidth, computing, memory, and energy constraints. Due to the pervasive nature of applications relying on ad-hoc and sensor networks effective provisions for robust security solutions in a reliable and power efficient way must be taken. This workshop seeks submissions presenting novel research on all aspects of security and cryptography for ad-hoc and sensor networks. ESAS 2004 will be a workshop where the cryptography, security and wireless networking communities meet. Submission of papers based on work- in-progress is encouraged. The topics include but are not limited to: * Cryptographic protocols * Trust establishment, negotiation, and management * Security in constrained environments * Cooperation and fairness based protocols * Key management * Scalability evaluation of secure and reliable protocols * Secure routing * Secure hardware modules * Implementations of secure protocols * Deployment of secure protocols * Privacy and anonymity * Secure MAC protocols INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission form is by electronic mail to Claude.Castelluccia(a)inrialpes.fr. The submissions must not exceed 10 pages (excluding the title page, bibliography and appendices),nor 12 pages overall. The final version should not exceed 15 pages.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP IEEE Network Magazine special issue on 'Ad hoc Networking: Data Communications & Topology Control' Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 12:22:18 +0100 From: David Simplot <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> Organization: IRCICA/LIFL, Univ. Lille 1 To: <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: arp(a)cines.fr, com-info(a)lifl.fr, alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr, tarot(a)hds.utc.fr Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ================================================================== *LAST* Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on 'AD HOC NETWORKING: DATA COMMUNICATIONS & TOPOLOGY CONTROL' http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/download/net-adhoc-cfp-final.pdf IEEE Network seeks articles for a special issue on Ad Hoc Networking: Data Communications and Topology Control, to appear in July 2004. The guest editors for this special issue are David Simplot-Ryl, University of Lille, France, and Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada. Purpose Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular and satellite systems. Ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. Even multi-hop cellular networks may be a viable option when a huge number of cellular phones are concentrated on a small area such as stadium. This special issue will cover comprehensively the network layer in ad hoc networks, which deals with data communication and topology control problems. Data communication problems include routing, broadcasting, multicasting, geocasting, clustering, area monitoring, data and service access. Topology control problems include neighbor discovery, topology construction and maintenance, activity scheduling, position discovery, partition detection, location updates, and network management. The new approaches to ad hoc networks design emphasize cross-layering approach, and therefore the relevant issues arising from network layer problems will also be covered, such as power management, security, quality of service, performance evaluation, data link and transport layers. The goal of the special issue is to publish original research and review articles which should be comprehensive to all readers, regardless of their specialty. Manuscript submission Send papers as PDF file to both co-guest editors simplot(a)lifl.fr and ivan(a)site.uottawa.ca. It is recommended that submissions be limited to 4500 words, with the number of references limited to 10. Guidelines for authors can be found on the IEEE Network magazine Website at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html . Important dates Manuscript Submission: November 30, 2003 Acceptance Notification: February 29, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: May 1, 2004 Publication: July/August 2004 Guest co-editors Dr. David Simplot-Ryl IRCICA/LIFL, Univ.
