-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Extended Deadline April 30: IEEE Network SI on Network Forensics and Surveillance for Emerging Networks Datum: Tue, 12 Apr 2016 12:29:02 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Network Special Issue on Network Forensics and Surveillance for Emerging Networks http://www.comsoc.org/netmag/cfp/network-forensics-and-surveillance-emergin… Deadline extended to April 30, 2016 Information and communication technologies (ICT) are becoming more intertwined in our lives, and inter-connected world. The networked world has revolutionized our lives in many ways and led to a closer and much more accessible world. For example, we can reach out to anyone, anywhere and anytime, regardless of geographical distance. Our increased dependence on ICT, and the pervasive interconnectivity of systems used in our networked world are, however, vectors that can potentially be exploited for nefarious or criminal purposes (e.g. hacking, theft of intellectual property and trade secrets, and online child exploitation). Recent incidents include the compromise of millions of Sony's PlayStation Network user accounts (resulting in significant reputation and financial damages to Sony), and Stuxnet (allegedly state-sponsored). The increasing number of high profile cyberattacks, and their impacts highlighted the importance of ensuring the security of our connected world. In a cyberattack, every action leaves an evidence trail — in routers, firewalls, web proxies, and within the network traffic. Consequently, there is a growing need for investigators to analyze network events, including network traffic, netflow, security device (or appliance) log, in order to ascertain how an attack was carried out or how an event occurred on a network. Such activities can assist in the reconstruction of a crime and, potentially, the identification of the perpetrator(s). To reduce the risk of digital evidence being called into question in judicial proceedings, it is important to have a rigorous methodology and set of procedures for conducting digital or network forensics. However, the increasing use of Internet and networked technologies, such as wearable devices and cyber physical systems in critical infrastructures, fast-advancing networking technologies, and the need to deal with volatile and dynamic data, complicate efforts to collect and preserve evidential data in a timely fashion. To keep pace with the growth and changing face of criminal activity as well as fast advancing network technologies such as SDN or wireless SDN, 4G/LTE and 5G, it is important for the forensic research and practitioner communities to have an up-to-date and in-depth understanding of the types of terrestrial artefacts that are likely to remain on the network and on networked devices, as well as the capability to undertake data collection and acquisition in a timely and forensically sound manner. This feature topic aims to foster the dissemination of the state-of-the-art advances in network forensics and surveillance for emerging networks. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Specifically, this issue welcomes two categories of papers: 1) invited articles from qualified experts; and 2) contributed papers from open call with list of addressed topics. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to network forensics and surveillance, with a particular emphasis on novel techniques to collect or exfiltrate data from the network and networked devices (such as those found in cyber-physical systems) in emerging networks. Topics of interest include: • Advanced network surveillance, forensic and anti-forensic techniques • Cooperative and distributed forensics and surveillance • Data exfiltration techniques from the network and networked devices (e.g. Internet-of-Things) • Attack detection, traceback and attribution in SDN, 4G and 5G • Network covert channel detection and elimination • Methods for reconstruction of internet activities in SDN, 4G and 5G • Forensics and surveillance in IoT • Forensics and surveillance in peer-to-peer, social, and cloud networks • Vulnerability detection techniques as well as mitigation techniques for networked systems • Novel techniques to analyze intelligence gathered from different or disparate data sets • Tools and systems for network forensics and surveillance • Network forensic process modeling • VoIP forensics, VoIPoW forensics High quality survey papers on the above topics are also welcome. SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers should not be under consideration elsewhere for publication and the authors must follow the IEEE Network guidelines regarding manuscript content and format for preparation of the manuscripts. For details, please refer to the “Author Guidelines” at the IEEE Network Web site at http://www.comsoc.org/netmag/author-guidelines. Authors must submit their manuscripts via the IEEE Network manuscript submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/network-ieee. All papers will be reviewed by at least three (3) reviewers for their technical merit, scope, and relevance to the CFP.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Experiences with sensor hardware integration - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Smart infrastructure support with wireless sensing technology - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field.
