[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Secure Multimedia Communication
by Yan ZHANG 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Wiley Journal: Security and Communication Network (SCN) Call for Paper Special Issue: Secure Multimedia Communication http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/cfp/SCN-SIcfp.html Background ========== With the rapid progress in information technology and an enormous amount of media appearing over Internet, e.g. text, audio, speech, music, image and video, guaranteeing information security is becoming increasingly important. Several pivotal challenges include copyright protection, integrity verification, authentication, and access control etc. As a consequence, the subject of security protection in multimedia communication has attracted intensive research activities in academia, industry and also government. Multimedia data like images, audios or videos are different from plain text. They are often of large volumes and are compressed in order to save the storage cost and bandwidth. Due to such requirement and property, the media protection mechanisms for images, audios or videos are significantly different from the ones for text or binary data. With the recent advances in network and multimedia technology, the applications in commercial scenario become increasing crucial. There is an increasing trend in the multimedia content distribution from the central service provider to the individuals, e.g. video-on-demand, IPTV and p2p sharing. In these applications, piracy is becoming a critical issue. Solutions are needed to protect the copyright of multimedia content. During the past decades, schemes have been reported for secure multimedia communication, e.g., key management, multimedia encryption, authentication, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, access control and digital rights management. These techniques are able to protect multimedia content's confidentiality, integrity, ownership, traitor traceability. In addition, in different networks such as Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and p2p, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide the system security. All these topics are in active development. This special issue aims to expose the readership of SCN to the latest research results on secure multimedia communication. The issue focuses on secure transmission or distribution of multimedia content. Topics ======== Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: · Copyright techniques · Digital rights management for multimedia · Secure multimedia transcoding in communication · Secure media streaming · Secure multimedia content sharing in P2P network · Broadcast encryption and authentication · Security in multimedia message sending · Security in mobile TV · Security in IPTV · Attacks and prevention in multimedia communication · Secure multimedia broadcasting over wireless networks · Secure multimedia broadcasting over IEEE 802.x families · Secure multimedia over multi-hop networks, e.g. Ad hoc network, wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks · Hardware Implementations of secure multimedia techniques · Low-power Architectures for portable appliances Submission Procedures ===================== Papers submitted to this journal for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journal. Submissions of both in-depth research papers and review/application- oriented papers are encouraged. All submissions should be done in Wiley's manuscript central whose web link is: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn and all submissions are subject to peer review before publication. For more detailed information on the submission requirements, please refer to the journal home-page at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security. Schedule ======== · Manuscript Due: May 1, 2008 · Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2008 · Final Manuscript Due: November 1, 2008 · Publication Date: 1st Quarter, 2009 Guest Editors: ============== Shiguo Lian France Telecom R&D Beijing Center, China Email: shiguo.lian(a)orange-ftgroup.com Yan Zhang Simula Research Laboratory, Norway Email: yanzhang(a)ieee.org Jong Hyuk Park Kyungnam University, Korea E-mail: parkjonghyuk1(a)hotmail.com Paris Kitsos Hellenic Open University (HOU), Greece Email: pkitsos(a)ieee.org _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP REALWSN 2008
by Adam Dunkels 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

The REALWSN'08 Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.sics.se/realwsn08/ April 1, 2008 Glasgow, Scotland In conjunction with ACM EuroSys 2008 The purpose of the third Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (5 pages, double column) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. Published papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates (tentative) Electronic submissions due: 10 February, 2008 Notification of acceptance: 3 March, 2008 Camera-ready copy due: 13 March, 2008 Workshop: 1 April 2008 Organizers Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science Technical program committee chairs: * Adam Dunkels, Swedish Institute of Computer Science * Pedro José Marron, University of Bonn, Germany Technical program committee (under construction): * Muneeb Ali, TU Delft, The Netherlands * Torsten Braun, University of Bern, Switzerland * Nirupama Bulusu, Portland State University, USA * Saumitra M.
