-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ICNP'2014: CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 17:26:27 -0400 Von: Wenye Wang <wwang(a)NCSU.EDU> Antwort an: Wenye Wang <wwang(a)NCSU.EDU> Organisation: NC State University An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************************************** The 22nd IEEE International Conference on Network Protocol The Research Triangle, North Carolina October 21-24, 2014 http://icnp14.cs.unc.edu/ ****************************************************************************** The IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP) is a premier conference on computer networks and network protocols. The conference scope includes all areas of computer networks and network protocols. Topics of interests include but are not limited to: *Network protocol design, specification, verification, and analysis *Software defined networking *Network protocol implementation, testing, and measurement *Network management *Protocols for specific applications *Traffic engineering *Network architectures and high performance algorithms *Network virtualization *Measurement, simulation, and modeling of operational networks *Multicast, broadcast, and anycast *Fault-tolerance, survivability, and troubleshooting of networking systems *Network security and privacy *Peer to peer, overlay, and content distribution networks *Cross-layer design and optimization *Resource allocation, management, Quality of Service *Enterprise networks *Wireless, RFID, mobile, ad-hoc, vehicular, and sensor networks *Cloud computing *Operating system and host support for networking *Information centric networking *Networking issues for emerging applications *Energy aware networking *Routing, switching, and addressing *Online social networks *Datacenter and storage area networks *Network economics This year, ICNP solicits two types of papers: regular papers of at most 12 pages each, and concise papers of at most 6 pages each. A regular paper describes an important research project that has been completed, whereas a concise paper describes a significant contribution in a research project that may still be in progress. Thus, the completed version of any concise paper can be submitted and published in another venue at a later year. Regular papers and concise papers will have different submission and notification deadlines and they will be reviewed by different sets of TPC members. Submission policy for both regular and concise papers: 1. All papers should adhere to the IEEE Computer conference paper format (IEEEtran.cls) and the font size should be no smaller than 10 pt. 2. ICNP uses a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure double-blind reviewing, author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity; acknowledgement with identifiable names and funding sources should be removed. Note that own work should be cited as a third person. Papers violating this double-blind review policy will be rejected without review. Note that double-blind violations are sometimes not discovered until well into the review process, so authors are strongly advised to heed the above requirements at submission time. 3. Authors need to indicate in their submissions all TPC members with whom they have conflicts of interest. An author and a TPC member have a conflict of interest if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) They are currently employed at the same institution, or they have been employed at the same institution within the last 12 months, or they are going to be employment at the same institution within the next 6 months. (2) The author and the TPC member had an advisor-advisee relationship. (3) The author and the TPC member have collaborated on a project, a publication, or a grant proposal within the past 4 years. (4) The author and the TPC member have family relationship or are close personal friend. Authors should not improperly identify TPC members as conflicts to avoid individuals who might review their papers. 4. At least one author of an accepted paper, whether regular or concise, is expected to register at the full rate of the conference and to present the paper at the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE digital library. Papers not presented by an author at the conference will not appear in the IEEE digital library. Integrity policy for both regular and concise papers: ICNP strictly enforces the following integrity policies. Authors violating these policies will cause their submissions to be rejected without review. Furthermore, ICNP may take action against individuals who have engaged in such violation; example actions include, but are not limited to, contacting the institutions of the authors and publicizing the details of the case. 1. Submitted papers should not be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. In some cases, the ICNP chairs may share information about submitted papers with other conference chairs and journal editors to ensure the integrity of papers under consideration. 2. Authors are prohibited from informing any TPC member of any identifiable information (such as titles) of their submissions. Important dates for regular papers: Paper Submission May 9, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Acceptance Notification July 4, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Camera Ready Version Aug 15, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Important dates for concise papers: Paper Submission May 23, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Acceptance Notification July 4, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Camera Ready Version Aug 15, 2014, 11:59 PM EST General Chairs: Jasleen Kaur, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA George Rouskas, North Carolina State University, USA Program Chairs: Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas at Austin, USA Alex Liu, Michigan State University, USA Steering Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA Ken Calvert (Chair), University of Kentucky, USA Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University, USA Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas at Austin, USA Timothy G.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on IoT Security and Privacy (deadline approaching) Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:34:41 +0200 Von: Yacine Challal <ychallal(a)hds.utc.fr> An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr A Special Issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks on “Internet of Things security and privacy: design methods, detection, prevention and countermeasures” http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… CALL FOR PAPERS =============== SCOPE of The Special Issue -------------------------- Recent advances in information and communication technologies and embedded systems have given rise to a new disruptive technology: the Internet of Things (IoT). This major development will lead to major changes in usage and to a transformation of the technological ecosystem in all its complexity. IoT will allow people and objects in the physical world as well as data and virtual environments to interact with each other so as to create smart environments such as smart transport systems, smart cities, smart health, smart energy, etc., as part of a prosperous digital society. IoT is likely to improve the quality of people’s lives, create new markets and new jobs, increase economic growth and be an impetus for competition. However, IoT raises important questions and introduces new challenges for the security of systems and processes and the privacy of individuals. Some IoT applications are tightly linked to sensitive infrastructures and strategic services such as the distribution of water and electricity and the surveillance of assets. Other applications handle sensitive information about people, such as their location and movements, or their health and purchasing preferences. Confidence in and acceptance of IoT will depend on the protection it provides to people’s privacy and the levels of security it guarantees to systems and processes. IoT will enable objects to become active participants: these objects will be able to recognize events and changes in their environment and to sense and react autonomously without human intervention. Introducing objects into the control processes makes IoT security very difficult to address. Indeed, the Internet of Things is a complex system in which people interact with the technological ecosystem based on smart objects through complex processes. The interactions of these four IoT components: persons, intelligent objects, technological ecosystem, and processes highlight a systemic and cognitive dimension to the security of IoT. The interaction of people with the technological ecosystem requires the protection of their privacy. Similarly, their interaction with control processes requires to guaranteeing their safety. Processes must ensure their reliability and realize the objectives for which they are designed. The move towards a greater autonomy for objects will bring the security of technologies and processes and the privacy of individuals into sharper focus. Furthermore, in parallel with the increasing autonomy of objects to perceive and act on the environment, IoT security should move towards a greater autonomy in perceiving threats and reacting to attacks. This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on Internet of Things Security and Privacy: design methods of secure IoT applications and architectures, security attacks detection, prevention and counter measures. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. About the Topics of Interest ---------------------------- In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to • Methods for secure by design IoT • Methods for IoT security analysis and audit • Privacy and anonymization techniques in IoT • Secure cloud of things • Trust management architectures • Lightweight security solutions • Authentication and access control in IoT • Identification and biometrics in IoT • Liability and policy enforcement in IoT • Virtualization and auto-immunity of smart objects • Security of Big data in IoT • Cyber physical systems security • Cyber attacks detection and prevention • Ethics and legal considerations in IoT Editor in Chief --------------- Ian Akyildiz Georgia Institute of Technology Guest Editors ------------- Yacine Challal University of Technology of Compiegne, France Enrico Natalizio University of Technology of Compiegne, France Sevil Sen Hacettepe University, Turkey Anna Maria Vegni University of "Roma TRE", Italia Important Dates ---------------- - Submission deadline: May 15th, 2014 - First round notification: July 15th, 2014 - Second round deadline: August 31st, 2014 - Final notification: October 15th, 2014 - Final papers: December 15th, 2014 Submission Format and Guideline ------------------------------- All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT'14 Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:58:50 +0200 Von: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> Antwort an: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers The ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT conference travels to another continent to complete its first decade as one of the major forums for presentations and discussions of novel computing technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The goal of the conference is to foster technical interactions among members of computer and communication networks research at large through a single track program promoting their most promising works. This new installment of the conference is proudly committed to the three values that made the conference successful for nearly ten years: Recognizing farsighted excellence, by selectively choosing papers with substantial novelty and research contribution. Promoting a broad definition of networking research, by welcoming submissions based on implementation and experimentation as well as theoretical analysis. Assuring authors of submitted papers a fair and thorough review process, with sound and detailed feedback guaranteed to each submissions in proportion of its scientific merit and potential. Scope The Program Committee of ACM CoNEXT seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer and communication networks. We especially encour- age submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies and new insights made possible using analysis or computing concepts rarely found among networking researchers. We invite submissions on a wide range of networking research including : * Networking aspects of mobile, wireless and ubiquitous computing * Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures * Network control and management, including datacenter, enterprise and SDN * Security and privacy aspects of computer networks and protocols * Theory and performance analysis of networking architectures and applications * Novel application of other fields to computer networking We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends and potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We invite the authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. These should be clearly substantiated and explained. Submission Authors must submit their papers electronically, following the guidelines available on the ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT web page. The committee encourages substantiated results with a succinct presentation. All papers will be part of a single track. More details will be provided on the format of the papers closer to the submission date. The selection of presentations will be based on peer-review by program committee members. This year, in an effort to inform judgment on the selection of presented papers, the PC will organize a rolling early feedback phase. During that time, and before review are completed, PC members are able to request authors for clarifications, typically on assumptions made and results obtained. Authors of submitted papers who receive such a request have the non mandatory option to answer that request within a week. We encourage this interaction espe- cially to give a chance to a minority of "controversial" papers that could be of special interest to our community, but raises important concerns that need to be addressed. Publication The proceedings of the conference will be published by the ACM.

Fwd: [InternetTC] COMNET Special Issue on Robust and Fault-Tolerant Communication Networks
by Lars Wolf 16 Apr '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] COMNET Special Issue on Robust and Fault-Tolerant Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 07:34:23 +0000 Von: Prosper Chemouil <prosper.chemouil(a)ORANGE.COM> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG Special Issue on *Robust and Fault-Tolerant Communication Networks* *Description of the Special Issue* Network services over communication networks play a vital role in our modern private, corporate and institutional lives. This importance is expected to continue to grow in future decades. More and more business, healthcare or government organizations will become increasingly dependent on the communication between their departments, offices and people. In addition, the dynamics and mobility within these circles is growing significantly, due to changing business relations, social or environmental phenomena. Not only does society depend on these services in terms of availability but also in terms of proper functioning in all circumstances: services having stringent requirements with respect to protection of privacy, security, anonymity (such as e-health) cannot accept, for example, temporary leakage of confidential information by accident whether a result of human error or technical problems. The information and communication network technology itself has also been evolving with high velocity. End-user’s connection speed grows by 50 % per year (Nielsen’s Law); users have more and more different types of mobile devices which interconnect them to the Internet (tablets, smartphones, smart watches, etc.). These themselves provide incentives to generate novel technology paradigms which enable more flexible provisioning, network (function) virtualization, or improved power efficiency.

It can be utilized to great effect in the next generation of cellular networks, mining applications, health-care monitoring, transportation and intelligent highways, multi-robot applications, first responders operations, military applications, factory automation, building and environmental controls, cognitive wireless networks, commercial and social network applications, and smart spaces. A multitude of technologies can be utilized in location-aware radios and networks, including global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), RFID, cellular, UWB, WLAN, Bluetooth, cooperative localization, indoor GPS, device-free localization, IR, Radar, and UHF. The performances of these technologies are measured by their accuracy, precision, complexity, robustness, scalability, and cost. Given the many application scenarios across different disciplines, there is a clear need for a broad, up-to-date and cogent treatment of radio-based location awareness. This special issue will bring together the latest research, innovations, and applications of location-awareness for radios and networks. Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original manuscript on topics including, but not limited to: - Simultaneous localization and mapping techniques - Algorithms for GNSS, assisted GNSS, augmented GNSS, and pseudolites - Indoor location-aware networks (Bluetooth, Zigbee, WLAN, UWB localization) - Positioning using opportunistic signals (3GPP/LTE, 802.11x, digital TV) - Radio-based tomography, device-free localization, and through-the-wall sensing - Security and privacy aspects of positioning - Distributed, peer-to-peer, and collaborative localization and tracking - Fundamental limits and bounds on position estimation - Heterogeneous sensor fusion and hybridization algorithms for positioning - Signal design, signal detection, and parameter estimation for positioning - Testbeds, measurement campaigns, channel modeling, and experimentation - Positioning for autonomous systems (robots, planes, cars) - Interference cancelation, avoidance, and reduction techniques in the localization process - Location information for resource planning of radio and networks - Special topics on localization and tracking (cooperative localization, optimization, networked-based localization and mapping in general sensor networks, sparsity-exploiting sensing and decision) Prospective authors should submit their manuscripts following the IEEE JSAC format at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html.
