CALL FOR PAPERS

ACM Transactions on Embedded Systems Special Issue on "Embedded Systems and Security"

Technological progress in embedded systems has led to their wide deployment and use in an increasing range of applications, from mobile phones to car, plane and spacecraft and from digital Ids to military systems in the field. Embedded systems are being used in autonomous systems (e.g., smart-cards, PDAs, etc.) as well as in networked systems (mobile phones, TV subscription boxes, etc.). Several of the applications that use embedded systems require support for security to a small or large degree, leading to different security needs of each system and application. These differences in addition to the resource limitations of embedded systems to implement security have led to a large number of research and development efforts in the area of "security and embedded systems".

This special issue will include papers with significant technical contributions to embedded systems security, while providing an overview of important research and development efforts in this emerging technical area. Topics covered in the issue include (but are not limited to):

* security systems architectures with emphasis in embedded systems * embedded systems in security (hardware and software) * autonomous secure computing systems * security subsystems for general-purpose processors * special-purpose processors for security * security systems in wireless and mobile networks * architectures for intellectual property protection * tamper-proof and tamper-resistant systems * smart-card technology and applications * secure Personal Digital Assistants * security subsystems for e-transactions, e-payments and e-applications

Important dates: ---------------- * Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2003 * Feedback to authors: July 1, 2003 * Publication date: late 2003

Submission information: ----------------------- Authors are required to submit their paper electronically through the web site http://acm.manuscriptcentral.com
