-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Computer - Special Issue on Mobile Application Security Datum: Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:24:48 +0800 Von: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Articles for IEEE Computer Computer seeks submissions for a June 2014 special issue on methodologies and solutions for mobile application security. With the ubiquitous use of mobile devices, mobile application security has become an important research topic. Compared with personal computers or servers, mobile devices store much more sensitive personal information and are thus attractive targets for attackers seeking financial gain. Because these devices are always online and have a restricted user interface, it is easier for attackers to hide their malicious activities. This special issue aims to present high-quality articles describing security algorithms, protocols, policies, and frameworks for applications running on modern mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. Only submissions describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research that are not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, the following: · app and app store security and privacy; · benchmarking and evaluation of mobile security solutions; · bots on mobile devices; · cloud security and privacy, as related to mobile devices; · mobile device forensics; · security and privacy in mobile device operating systems and middleware; · mobile malware collection, statistics, and analysis; · mobile services and social networking security; · reverse engineering and automated analysis of mobile malware; · security for smart payment applications, including near-field communication; · standardization efforts related to developing and vetting mobile apps; · testbeds and case studies for mobile platforms; · traffic monitoring and detection algorithms for mobile platforms; · virtualization solutions for mobile security; and · Web browser security on mobile devices. Articles should be original and understandable to a broad audience of computing science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer’s readership. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style. The guest editors for this special issue include Ying-Dar Lin, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan (lead: ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw); Chun-Ying Huang, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan; Matthew Wright, University of Texas at Arlington; and Georgios Kambourakis, University of the Aegean, Samos, Greece.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013) - Co-located with ACM MobiCom'13 Datum: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:25:48 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG *The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-* *Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013)* *In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2013 Miami, Florida, September 30 - October 4, 2013* *http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.html*** * *Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2013* Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. ACM MiSeNet 2013 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2013 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2013 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2013 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications *General Chair* - Thomas F.

This year the conference will feature two separate calls for papers. The first one will be targeted to mature, technical work, that has been the focus of the conference throughout the past 8 years (12 pages, 10 pt, 2 column). The second will be an explicit call for short papers (6 pages, 10pt, 2 column). With that call we would like to make CoNEXT a vehicle for the dissemination of new ideas, that may not have reached the level of maturity of full papers. Both types of papers will be reviewed by the same Technical Program Committee, but with separate processes. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: ******************************************************************* Internet measurement and modeling Wireless networks Mobile and cellular networks Mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks Economic aspects of the Internet Network security Datacenter networks Peer-to-peer, overlay and content distribution networks Online social networks Routing and traffic engineering Network management, including energy issues Interface between networking, communications and information theory New networking protocols and architectures Applications of network science in communication networks Important Dates: **************** CoNEXT'13: Abstract submission June 8, 2013 CoNEXT'13: Full paper submission June 14, 2013 (hard deadline) CoNEXT'13: Short paper submission July 12, 2013 (hard deadline) CoNEXT'13: Acceptance notification September 23, 2013 CoNEXT'13: Camera ready November 1, 2013 CoNEXT'13: Conference December 9-12, 2013 General Chairs: Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara, USA and Laurent Mathy, Universite de Liege, BELGIUM Technical Program Chairs: Dina Papagiannaki,Telefonica Research, Spain and Vishal Misra, Columbia University, USA For More Details: ***************** Please see http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2013/ _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Due to simultaneous advances in four key disciplines-computer vision, image sensors, embedded computing, and sensor networks-smart camera networks have emerged over the past decade. These real-time, distributed, embedded systems use multiple cameras to capture data in private as well as public environments, with applications in security, monitoring, and smart environments. The guest editors solicit papers covering all areas of smart camera networks including hardware-, software- and system-level aspects. They specifically invite contributions providing an interdisciplinary view of this topic or reporting on real deployments and novel applications. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * novel camera and camera network design and architectures, * network-level video processing and analysis, * network-level coordination and control, * distributed processing in camera networks, * human interaction with camera networks, * camera networks on mobile platforms, and * emerging applications. Articles should be original and understandable to a broad audience of computer science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer's readership. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style. The guest editors for this special issue are Martin Reisslein, Arizona State University (reisslein(a)asu.edu); Bernhard Rinner, Klagenfurt University (bernhard.rinner(a)aau.at); and Amit Roy-Chowdhury, University of California, Riverside (amitrc(a)ee.ucr.edu).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: 2nd CfP: Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (CoSDEO@Ubicomp); DL: 01.05.2013 Datum: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:43:43 +0200 Von: announce(a)teco.edu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ================================================ 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS for the Fourth CoSDEO Workshop Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (http://cosdeo.teco.edu/2013/) in conjunction with 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2013) (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2013/) in Zurich, Switzerland, September 9-12, 2013 ================================================ The 4th CoSDEO-workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, algorithms or models for the device-free, radio-based recognition of contexts. Recently, using analysis of signal distortions in a typical radio network to derive contexts such as location, type or activity of an object not outfitted with a radio receives a growing amount of attention from researchers. The possibility to acquire context information without instrumenting users and without the drawbacks of e.g. optical systems has great potential for typical applications of Ubiquitous Computing. Radio signals are inherently noisy and signal changes depend on a variety of environmental and sensor-specific factors. It is therefore the goal of CosDEO 4th to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches can be presented. Thus, we like to encourage scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Even if work is in a very early stage all submitted work must conform to typical scientific standards; providing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system the system should be described and discussed thoroughly. Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which must not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These maybe related to novel techniques for the radio-based detection of contexts but also novel applications and designs of device-free radio-based context recognition systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design aspects of device-free radio-based recognition systems - General experimental work and field studies on device-free radio-based recognition - Models/algorithms for recognizing contexts using device-free radio-based sensors - Reports on the evaluation of device-free radio-based recognition systems - Investigations directed at signal processing, recognition robustness, signal sampling, etc. for device-free radio-based recognition - Investigations directed at feasibility of recognizing novel classes using radio frequency signal analysis - System architectures for device-free radio-based recognition - Monitoring of attention levels by device-free radio-based sensing systems - Algorithms/methods enabling device-free sensing using existing and novel radio hardware Paper submission deadline: May 1st, 2013 Notification of acceptance: June 1st, 2013 Final paper submission: June 20th, 2013 Workshop: September 9th, 2013 Organization Committee: General program chairs Markus Scholz, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany Stephan Sigg, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan Moustafa Youssef, Wireless Research Center, Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST)

Such combined sensing opens up the possibilities for exciting new applications in a variety of urban spaces, both outdoors (e.g., crowd coordination in theme parks, public safety monitoring in major public events, public health management) and indoors (e.g., healthcare, intelligent retail in shopping malls & energy-efficient building operations). Driven by these trends, this workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners working on urban and crowd-driven sensing. We invite original research work focusing on large or innovative crowdsensing architectures, systems and platforms and their experiences on developing crowdsensing applications impacting urban lifestyles in a variety of areas. The workshop especially solicits early/upcoming research ideas, where interactions may provide authors with valuable early feedback. The topics of interests broadly include, but are not limited to: Data sourcing and aggregation: o Innovative use of the sensors to capture real world phenomenon o Energy efficient sensing o Utility oriented sensing o Data modeling and aggregation o Incentive models o Privacy concerns System or Platform Architecture o Data processing and analysis o Contextual/Semantic interpretation of sensor data o Security models o Real-time stream computing and cloud-based platforms o Crowdsensing middleware platforms Applications o Innovative applications impacting urban lives o User interface for crowdsensing applications o Case studies around applying crowdsensing to a particular domain, such as retail, healthcare (mHealth), transportation, governance, etc. o Tools, technologies and programming abstractions for developing crowdsensing applications o Cross leveraging social networks for effective crowdsensing Submission Guidelines ·Authors are invited to submit Full Technical Papers with maximum 8 pages or Short Position Papers, mainly “work in progress” with maximum 4pages ·They must include the authors' names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee ·Submissions must follow the ACM formatting guidelines that can be found at: http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2013/calls/templates.php ·Detailed submission instruction can be found at: https://sites.google.com/site/pucaaworkshop2013/submission Accepted papers would be published in the ACM Digital Library and Ubicomp 2013 supplemental proceedings. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Organizing Committee : General Chairs: Mani Srivastava, UCLA Archan Misra, SMU TPC Chairs: Zhixian Yan, Samsung Research Nilanjan Banerjee, IBM Research Publicity Chair: Sumit Mittal, IBM Research Steering Committee Chair: Dipanjan Chakraborty, IBM Research _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.
