-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> Gesendet: Thu Nov 01 01:49:00 MEZ 2012 An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Betreff: [Tccc] Wireless Networks Intrusion - JCSS Special Issue - 1 month remaining for submission [Apologies, for multiple copies of the CFP]* Call for Papers * *Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier Special Issue on Wireless Networks Intrusion *http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computer-and-system-sciences/* * *Overview: * The security mechanisms for various wired networks are more or less well-defined. Especially when intrusion detection and prevention techniques are considered, wired networks appear to be in a much better status than their wireless counterparts. Indeed, security concerns are, still, a significant impediment to widespread adoption of wireless networktechnologies. Because of the use of wireless communications technology, structure of the wireless networks, limited resources available on wireless devices, and open nature of wirelesscommunications, employing an effective and efficient intrusion detection and prevention system for detecting and thwarting malicious attacks against wireless communication still remains a great challenge to researchers. On the other side, recent increase in the interest in anywhere, anytime, anybody’s network with the aid of wirelessself-organizing networks has made the demand of effective intrusion detection and prevention techniques even more critical. We consider four types of wireless networks under wireless self-organizing networks (SON) category: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Wireless Mesh Network(WMN), and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET). The status quo of these networks lacks standardized mechanisms for intrusion detection and prevention. In particular for WSN, with limited resources of the involved tiny sensor nodes, employing such defensive and/or preventive mechanisms is, indeed, a tough challenge. If the system is distributed, the nodes may not be able to run the system; if centralized and controlled by the base station, the system may not serve the actual purpose of intrusion handling within the actual deployed network. We are interested, in this Special Issue, to put together the latest advancements in these related areas and to get the thoughts of the researchers, practitioners, and users of these technologies. The articles could be from the theory and/or practical perspectives. Extensive review articles on specific topics are most welcome. The articles are expected to touch up on any of the four types of SONs, namely MANET, WSN, WMN, and VANET. The targeted topics for this special issue are (though the list should not be considered exhaustive): - Intrusion detection schemes - Intrusion prevention schemes - Tracing back mobile attackers - Secure routing with intrusion prevention - Access control - Authentication mechanisms - Resource efficient intrusion detection & prevention - Anomaly detection - Specification based detection - Misuse detection - Intrusion detection vs Intrusion prevention - Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques - Game theory based techniques - Physical intrusion in WSN - Cross-layer based intrusion detection - Agent based intrusion surveillance, detection and prevention *Important Dates: * Manuscript due date: November 30, 2012 First round review notification: February 30, 2013 Revised paper due: April 30, 2013 Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 25, 2013 Submission of final manuscript: May 15, 2013 *Submission Guidelines and Review Process: * All papers should be submitted via email to the corresponding editor at sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com (with a CC to sakib(a)iium.edu.my).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TrackChair] WiVeC 2013 Deadline extended to Nov 20 Datum: Thu, 1 Nov 2012 09:05:51 +0000 (GMT) Von: Elisabeth Uhlemann <elisabeth.uhlemann(a)ieee.org> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear all, Due to multiple requests, we decided to extend the paper submission deadline of WiVeC 2013 to November 20. This is the final extension and the deadline is hard. The web page should be updated shortly. We are also delighted to inform you that the authors of the best WiVeC 2013 papers will be solicited to submit an extension of their papers to the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine. (Impact factor: 1.22) Please help us spread this information. We have attach the CfP again below. Best regards, Andreas Festag and Elisabeth Uhlemann TPC Co-Chairs of WiVeC 2013 [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC 2013 June 2-3 2013, Dresden, Germany http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 20, 2012 The best three IEEE WiVeC 2013 papers will be invited to publish an extended version of their papers in the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (Impact factor: 1.22) Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all wireless vehicular communication aspects of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 the fifth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 77th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2013 Spring, and will take place in Dresden on the 2nd and 3rd of June 2013. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2013-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. The authors of best three IEEE WiVeC 2013 papers will be invited to publish an extended version of their papers in the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (Impact factor: 1.22). Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009 and 2012. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2V) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models, spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Radio resource management and interference management, MAC protocols * Vehicular networking (architectures, ad hoc, cellular and device-to-device, heterogeneous) * Dissemination strategies and data aggregation * Scalability, decentralized congestion control, QoS and cross-layer optimization * Security, liability and privacy * Integration and interworking (sensor network technologies, roadside infrastructure, in-car electronics and embedded systems) * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Applications (eCall, eTolling, safety, traffic efficiency, traffic management, green telematics, wireless diagnosis, driver compliance, etc.) * Electric vehicle communication, incl vehicle-to-grid communication * Standards development, business models, policies * Simulation models and tools * Testbeds, testing support, conformance and plug-tests, field testing results * Impact assessment on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Submission website : http://wivec2013.trackchair.com The authors of the best WiVeC 2013 papers will be solicited to submit an extension of their WiVeC 2013 papers to the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2013 CFP - Deadline extended: November 13, 2012 Datum: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:11:05 +0100 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2013) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2013 (http://www.percom.org) March 18-22, San Diego, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ##################################################### PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: NOVEMBER 13, 2012 ##################################################### CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 19 and 33. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline (EXTENDED): November 13, 2012 - Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2012 - Camera ready: Late January, 2013 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Aaron Crandall, Washington State University, USA Jordi Cucurull Juan, Linköping University, Sweden Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Nidhi Hegde, Technicolor, France Maciej Kurant, ETH, Switzerland Alan Marchiori, Colorado School of Mines, USA Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Mikko Pitkänen, AALTO, Finland Silvia Santini, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Jing Wang, E2open Inc., USA Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany _______________________________________________ ISCC mailing list ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it https://mama.ing.unibo.it/listinfo/iscc

We will analyse how these systems self-organize, acquire their structure, and evolve. Thus, we aim to advance our understanding of such key infrastructures in our societies and, more generally, of these sorts of self-organizational processes in nature. We are further interested in learning how to engineer such self-organizing networked systems to have desirable properties including dependability, predictability, and resilience in the face of the inevitable challenges that they face. Building on the success of its predecessors, this multi-disciplinary workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers from complex systems, distributed systems, and communication networks to create a visionary forum for discussing the future of self-organization in networked systems. We invite the submission of manuscripts that present original research results on the themes of self-organization in techno-social systems and networks-of-networks. ** Key Topics The workshop scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topical areas of self-organizing systems: - Design and analysis of self-organizing and self-managing systems - Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society - Structure, characteristics, and dynamics of self-organizing networks - Self-organization in techno-social systems - Self-organized social computation - Self-organized communication systems - Citizen Science - Techniques and tools for modeling self-organizing systems - Tools to quantify self-organization - Control and control parameters of self-organizing systems - Phase transitions in self-organizing systems - Robustness and adaptation in self-organizing systems - Self-organization in complex networks such as peer-to-peer, sensor, ad-hoc, vehicular, and social networks - Self-organization in socio-economic systems - User and operator-related aspects of man-made self-organizing systems - Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services - Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks - Self-protection, self-configuration, diagnosis, and healing - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - The human in the loop of self-organizing networks - Social, cognitive, and semantic aspects of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Decentralized power management in the smart grid ** Important Dates Submission deadline: November 18, 2012 Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2013 Camera-ready papers due: February 3, 2013 ** Papers IWSOS 2013 invites the submission of manuscripts that present original research results which have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the international technical program committee and judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness.

CfP: SANES 2013
by Vincenzo De Florio 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Dear Colleagues, let me draw your attention to the call for papers of SANES 2013: Self-Adaptive Networked Embedded Systems - SANES 2013 19 - 21 February, 2013 - Barcelona, Spain In conjunction with the International Conference on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems - PECCS 2013 SCOPE Self-adaptive systems are capable of monitoring their environment and their own states in order to optimize and match their functions to different scenarios and requirements. The concept of self-adaptiveness belongs to the wide scope of autonomic computing, while focusing on the aspects of self-awareness, context-awareness and self-adaptation. While networked embedded systems relate to several research domains (e.g. software engineering, hardware engineering, network and communication), their studies are usually limited in their own concerns, assumption and verification environment. This special session aims to gather complementary research efforts addressing diverse issues in self-adaptive embedded systems, from requirement engineering, modeling, and application to concrete implementations. Both functional and extra-functional (e.g. energy-efficiency, dependability and security) properties are of interest to the session. Individual adaptive systems, distributed systems, and system-of-systems are relevant to this theme. The session solicits works in the requirement engineering, software and hardware design, modeling, implementation and applications of self-aware, context-aware and adaptive networked embedded systems. It is a follow-up of two successful special sessions in PECCS 2011 and 2012. Selected papers from the previous editions have appeared in international journals, and this tradition will be followed in SANES’13. TOPICS of INTEREST • Requirement engineering • Self-adaptive many-core systems, distributed systems. • Self-adaptive software and middleware design • Modeling and formal methods for self-adaptation and context-awareness • Energy Efficiency, Dependability and Security • Collective adaptive system/ System-of-systems • Industrial and Commercial Case Studies PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at: Paper Templates Please also check the Guidelines and Templates. Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris PUBLICATIONS All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support - and submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/). Same as previous years, high-quality papers from the special session will be recommended to international journals (e.g. International Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems, www.igi-global.com/ijertcs), or be invited in special issues on self-adaptive systems.
