According to estimates by Gartner Group, in 2004, at least 40% of consumer-to-business e-commerce will be initiated from smart phones. A study from the Wireless Data and Computing Service, a division of Strategy Analytics, reports that the worldwide mobile commerce market may rise to $200 Billion by 2004. The report predicts that transactions via wireless devices will generate about $14 Billion a year. In many European countries and Japan with significant wireless penetration, the mobile commerce market is already taking off and reaching billions of dollars a year. It is to be noted that mobile commerce may require significantly different approaches in design, development, and implementation of applications due to the inherent characteristics of wireless networks and mobile devices. Many interesting and important challenges include design and development of mobile commerce applications, networking requirements, transactions and security issues, business models and strategies. Mobile commerce will also significantly benefit from research in mobile devices, mobile middleware, and wireless network infrastructure. Vehicular technologies and intelligent transportation systems are likely to play a very important role in this emerging area of commerce. The symposium will bring together experts in this field and address significant challenges in mobile commerce from both technology and business application point of views. The symposium will cover several topics including * New m-commerce applications including mobile advertising, mobile financial applications, mobile inventory, proactive service management, wireless re-engineering among others * Requirements of m-commerce applications * Development of mobile commerce applications (new constraints, approaches, interoperability, processing and storage, desirable features) * Vehicular commerce * Use of vehicular technologies in m-commerce * Vehicle to vehicle commerce * Intelligent transportation systems and m-commerce * Emerging vehicular technologies for m-commerce * Infrastructure support from wireless networks (location management, wireless dependability, coverage, roaming, inter-working etc) * Location management support for mobile commerce (indoor vs outdoor, precision, performance and transaction requirements, multiple location technologies) * Location and context awareness * User and location specific service discovery * Devices, middleware, and operating systems support * Security and transactions in mobile commerce (mobile commerce transactions over wireless networks, new and current security paradigms for m-commerce) * Business issues and models for mobile commerce (pricing and new ways of charging, revenue generation and division among carriers and operators * Other emerging and related issues to m-commerce applications and technologies We are currently in the process of negotiating with a journal for a special issue on m-commerce.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks]
by Lars Wolf 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:15:38 -0500 From: Jeff Wieselthier <wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/wireless_adhoc.html * *Novel approaches are needed to address ad hoc networks, which are characterized by the lack of an infrastructure. For example, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes of communication must be supported in a multihop network that typically consists of small (often disadvantaged) users that are characterized by severely limited energy supply, signal-processing capability, antenna directivity, bandwidth, etc. Crucial applications for mobile ad hoc networks include military communications and disaster relief, although commercial applications are certainly possible as well. In applications with a large number of nodes, scalability is a major concern. The study of ad hoc networks is an interdisciplinary one, which can potentially incorporate communication and information theory, distributed networking algorithms, data structures and compression, coding, signal processing, detection, antenna characteristics, optimization methods, simulation, testbed implementations etc. Papers submitted for this special issue must directly address ad hoc networking issues. We outline here only a few of the many aspects of ad hoc network design and control that will be addressed in this special issue. First, distributed network organization algorithms (such as those for clustering) may be used to create the equivalent of an ad hoc infrastructure. Distributed algorithms are also needed for routing, channel access, and other control functions. Networking techniques for ad hoc networks must address the challenges imposed by the all-wireless environment. For example, by contrast with wired networks, the conventional layered protocol stack is not well suited to the ad hoc wireless networking environment because it does not exploit the potential improvements in performance that can be obtained by jointly designing protocols that span multiple layers. Specifically, it is expected that improved performance can be obtained by considering the properties of the physical and data link layers when designing and operating the media-access control (MAC) protocol. Similarly, there are potential benefits to be obtained by developing protocols that address jointly the routing and MAC functions. Additional benefits can be obtained by jointly addressing higher-layer functions along with routing and MAC. Energy-aware protocols (from the perspective of either energy-efficient or energy-constrained operation) are of critical importance in many ad hoc scenarios. Such energy-aware operation can span multiple layers, e.g., by addressing trade-offs between energy used for RF transmission and for signal processing. It is the goal of this special issue to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks by examining all aspects of ad hoc network design and control, including the dependencies between various network functions and the potential benefits that can be gained by cross-layer design. We are interested in papers on fundamental performance limits, but more importantly on algorithm design and performance, system implementations, etc. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Physical layer issues in ad hoc networks * Media Access Control (MAC) techniques * Self-organizing architectures and protocols * Routing protocols * Cross-layer protocol design * Mobility management * Protocols for mobile applications * Transport-layer issues * Signal-processing issues in ad hoc networks * Integration with wired networks * Applications * Energy-aware protocols * Security in ad hoc networks * Capacity and scheduling * Node implementation * Effects on existing protocols * Quality of service * Broadcasting and multicasting * Multimedia and traffic integration * Experiments and testbeds * Error-control schemes * Synchronization and scheduling * Scalability * Performance analysis and simulation * Properties of antennas * Optimization methods * Fundamental limits in ad hoc networks All papers on any of the above topics must include a definite and strong connection to ad hoc networks. Please contact Jeffrey Wieselthier at wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil if there are any questions about the suitability of the paper for this special issue. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE J-SAC format described in the Information for Authors at the J-SAC website. All papers should be submitted in pdf format via email to Jeffrey Wieselthier at wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: October 15, 2003 Acceptance Notification: April 1, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: June 1, 2004 Publication: 4th Quarter 2004 * Guest Editors *Dr. Jeffrey E.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Econmics and Information Security 2003 - Final Call for Papers]
by Lars Wolf 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Econmics and Information Security 2003 - Final Call for Papers Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 14:18:37 +0000 From: Ross Anderson <Ross.Anderson(a)cl.cam.ac.uk> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Economics and Information Security Second Annual Workshop May 29-30, University of Maryland http://www.cpppe.umd.edu/rhsmith3/index.html Do we spend enough on keeping `hackers' out of our computer systems? Do we not spend enough? Or do we spend too much? For that matter, do we spend too little on the police and the army, or too much? And do we spend our security budgets on the right things? The economics of security is a rapidly growing field of research. More and more people are coming to realise that security failures are often due to perverse incentives rather than to the lack of suitable technical protection mechanisms. (Indeed, the former often explain the latter.) While much recent research has been on `cyberspace' security issues - from hacking through fraud to copyright policy - the field is expanding to throw light on `everyday' security issues at one end, and to provide new insights and new problems for theoretical computer scientists and `normal' economists at the other. In the commercial world, as in the world of diplomacy, there can be complex linkages between security arguments and economic ends. Program committee: Ross Anderson (program co-chair) (Cambridge University) Larry Gordon (program co-chair) (University of Maryland) Marty Loeb (general chair) (University of Maryland) Bruce Schneier (Counterpane) Jean Camp (Harvard) Doug Tygar (UC Berkeley) Li Gong (Sun Microsystems) Andrew Odlyzko (University of Minnesota) Hal Varian (UC Berkeley) If you would like to present a paper at the Workshop, please submit a detailed abstract (PDF format perferred) to Dr. Martin P. Loeb, General Chair by e-mail at mloeb(a)rhsmith.umd.edu by March 15, 2003.
