Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) - Special issue on Wireless Physical Layer Security
by Lars Wolf 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)gmail.com> schrieb: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Special issue on “Signal Processing Techniques for Wireless Physical Layer Security” The emergence of large-scale, dynamic, and decentralized wireless networks imposes new challenges on classical security measures such as cryptography. To this end, researchers have sought novel information theoretic techniques that can secure wireless networks without the need for secret keys. One of the most promising ideas is to exploit the wireless channel physical layer characteristics such as fading or noise, which are traditionally seen as impediments, for improving the reliability of wireless transmission against eavesdropping attacks. Physical layer security has emerged as a key technique for providing trustworthy and reliable future wireless networks and has witnessed a significant growth in the past few years. To this end, this special issue aims to gather cutting-edge contributions from academia and industry that address and show the latest results on securing wireless networks at the physical layer. This special issue has a particular emphasis on advanced signal processing, information theoretic, and communication techniques that can make the vision of secret wireless transmission using the physical layer characteristics of the wireless channel a reality. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Advanced beamforming and other multi-antenna techniques. - Secure relaying and cooperative transmission techniques. - Dynamic resource allocation for physical layer security in various communication scenarios which include (but are not limited to) securing multiuser channels (multiple access, broadcast, relay, interference) , dynamic spectrum access, and spectrum-sharing based cognitive radio channels. - Secure network coding / Byzantine attacks. - Signal processing techniques for advanced security primitives such as authentication, bit commitment, oblivious transfer, secret sharing, etc. - Secret key generation from fading channels via public discussion/common randomness. - Cross-layer design techniques that combine physical layer security and cryptographic algorithms. - Attacker optimization: jamming and eavesdropping. - Game theory for wireless physical layer security. - Wireless physical layer techniques for enhanced location and signal privacy. - Experimental results on signal processing for enhancing security at the physical layer. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE JSAC format described at http://jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to EDAS: http://edas.info. The timetable is as follows: • Manuscript submission due: August 15, 2012 • First-round reviews due: January 10, 2013 • Acceptance notification/second reviews due: April 10, 2013 • Final manuscript due: May 1, 2013 Guest Editors: Walid Saad (University of Miami), email: walid(a)miami.edu Eduard Jorswieck (TU Dresden), email: Eduard.Jorswieck(a)tu-dresden.de Lifeng Lai (University of Arkansas, Little Rock), email: lxlai(a)ualr.edu Wing-Kin (Ken) Ma (the Chinese University at Hong Kong), email: wkma(a)ee.cuhk.edu.hk H.

Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Hybrid Intelligent Systems Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Maritime Navigation Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Multimedia Mobile Communication Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - To encourage more student submit papers, the "Student Registration Fee (333 USD) " will cover one paper presentation. Wireless communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is a promising technology to improve safety and security for all transport modes, to reduce traffic congestion, to optimize the use of existing infrastructures (road, rail maritime, fluvial) and support information services in vehicles with the general purpose of reducing the impact of transport on the environment. The development of sustainable mobility is a key challenge for the development of urban areas. A new era of vehicular technology that includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is already there in the public transport domain and this should be generalized. This era will be driven by both (pre-competitive) public-sector and private-sector funding. Safety- related applications are not only taken into consideration, but non-safety multimedia content providers are also becoming a new topic of research. Key players in the industry, such as automotive companies, public transport operators, railway industries and government agencies, are investing heavily in the advanced research and development of many ITS technologies and applications. This research effort primarily focuses on the system development and standardization of telematics. During recent ITS developments, transportation telematics techniques have exhibited much progress, e.g., interaction between vehicles and the infrastructure for delivering services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification, concierge assistance and vehicle condition reports. These progresses are also really important in the public transport domain (buses, metro, trains, tramways) for which V2V and V2I for safety and non safety applications are a key component for the exploitation but also for reducing energy consumption. A number of IEEE 802.11p-like equipment prototypes have been built, and several technical reports based on field trials have demonstrated the lack of cutting-edge techniques to improve system performance. Furthermore, all these applications require accurate and reliable positioning using GNSS solutions alone or enhanced with map-matching and sensors fusion. Technology and applications for ITS and telematics design are rapidly emerging, and there is a critical need to bring together professional researchers, intelligent engineers, academia, industry, standard committees, the private sector and the public sector to exchange new ideas. This conference aims to spur research progress by serving as a forum in which both academia and industry can share experiences and report original work regarding all aspects of vehicular communication, e.g., Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), cooperative systems, information dissemination, road and rail safety, information and emergency services, etc. Our primary goal is to promote meaningful research in the cross-layered design of architectures, algorithms and applications for vehicular communication environments in all transport modes. Topics of Interest: ---------------- Four tracks will be emphasized in ITST-2012 (but not limited on): Track1: Smart Vehicle - Video/Audio signal processing for driver-assistance systems - In-vehicle communications/telematics - Analog/Digital circuit design for in-car smart systems - SoC architecture/platform for smart vehicle systems - Green design techniques for ITS - Security and privacy in vehicular networks - Field operational tests and testbeds for smart vehicular - Vehicle collision avoidance - Sensors and actuators Track2: Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) - Data-collection, organization and dissemination methods - New ITS/Telematics applications - Ongoing ITS/Telematics activities Track3: Telecommunications and Positioning - V2V, V2I and V2X communications - Network protocols including MAC, routing, addressing, multicast, TCP protocols and end-to-end quality of service, resource management, security and privacy - Design with multiple wireless data links (802.11p, 802.11x, WiMAX, WiFi, cell phone, LTE-A, GPS) - Mobility or handover technology - System-level, board-level and chip-level electronics - PHY issues: channel measurements, channel modeling, channel estimation, antenna arrangement, pilot arrangement, etc. - Physical layer and antenna technologies for vehicular networks - RF propagation models for vehicular networks - Radio resource management for vehicular networks - GPS, GALILEO and terrestrial solutions for accurate and reliable positioning of vehicles Track4: Green Life Toward Blue Planet - Field operational tests and testbeds for vehicular networks - Assessment of impact of vehicular networks on transportation efficiency and safety - Emission modeling and environmental impact assessment - Regional requirements and their consequences - Interference-Management and Spectrally-Efficient Technologies - Resource-Efficient Networking Technology and Application Design - Cross-Layer Design/Optimization and Green Transceiver Design - Novel technologies to reduce human electromagnetic exposure and electromagnetic pollution Some papers will be nominated by the International Advisory Board for the ‥Best Paper Award.〃 To enhance the scientific quality of this event, the conference Organizing Committee has entered into an agreement with the Editor-in-Chief (Dr. Alan Stevens) and the publishing office of IET Intelligent Transport Systems (IET ITS), which is an SCI-E (ISI) and EI indexed peer-reviewed journal.
