10 Feb '07

IEEE Globecom 2007 Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium - CALL FOR PAPERS 26-30 November 2007 Washington, DC, USA --------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Date: March 15th, 2007 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Co-Chairs Prof. Azzedine Boukerche, Email: boukerch(a)site.uottawa.ca Prof. Hussein Mouftah, Email: mouftah(a)site.uottawa.ca Prof. Hsiao-Hwa Chen, Email: hshwchen(a)ieee.org Scope Multi-hop wireless Ad Hoc and sensor networks are self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes within communication range of each other that form temporary networks. Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including entertainment, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication. Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application support, etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks. You are invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to the following topics. Please visit the mail IEEE Globecom 2007 Webpage for submission details and on-line submissions at http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2007/. Topics of Interest .

This pervaded world has generated new communication paradigms: autonomic and opportunistic communications. Communication among devices in a pervasive environment can happen if the devices can communicate autonomously, and manage their own evolution and configuration changes in the network, without explicit user or administrator action. In a pervasive world, even in the absence of any connectivity infrastructure mobile devices can communicate using the connection "opportunities" that arise due to mobility. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Adaptive security for self protection of networks * Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobility models for opportunistic networking * Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.

*** Apologies for multiple copies *** C A L L F O R P A P E R S International Conference on Information Theoretic Security (ICITS) Madrid, Spain, May 25-29, 2007 http://www.escet.urjc.es/~matemati/maribel/ICITS/ITS07.htm **Note: Eurocrypt is May 20-24, 2007 in Barcelona, Spain. BACKGROUND: For the last years we have plenty of conferences and workshops on specialized topics in cryptography. Examples are CHES, FSE, PKC and TCC. The modern unclassified research on cryptography started with Shannon's work on cryptography using information theory. Since then we have seen several research topics studied requiring information theoretical security, also called unconditional security. Examples are anonymity, authenticity, reliable and private networks, secure multi-party computation, traitor tracing, etc. Moreover, we have also seen that coding as well as other aspects of information theory have been used in the design of cryptographic schemes. Seeing the multitude of topics in cryptography requiring information theoretical security or using information theory, it is time to have a regular conference on this topic. This was first realized by Prof. Imai (University of Tokyo, Japan). He organized the 2005 IEEE Information Theory Workshop on Theory and Practice in Information-Theoretic Security (ITW 2005, Japan) October 16-19, 2005. The goal is to continue this event on a regular basis. PROCEEDINGS: Post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Informal pre-proceedings will be available at the conference. TOPICS OF INTEREST: The topics of interest are on work on any aspect of information theoretical security, this means security based on information theory. This includes, but is not limited to the following topics: o Analysis of Security o Private and Reliable Networks o Anonymity o Public Key Cryptosystems using Codes o Authentication Codes o Quantum Cryptography o Conventional Cryptography using Codes o Quantum Information Theory o Fingerprinting o Randomness o Ideal Ciphers o Secret Sharing o Information Hiding o Secure Multiparty Computation o Key Distribution o Traitor Tracing o Oblivious Transfer NOTES: Papers on coding theory without any relationship with cryptography will be rejected. It is not the goal of this conference to become a second one on "Coding and Cryptography." Papers using computational complexity assumptions, except when using: information theoretic results or quantum arguments, will not be accepted. VENUE: Madrid is a city with a long history and very good airport connections. Its climate end of May is pleasantly warm. Madrid has good connections to the rest of the world and the rest of Spain, in particular Barcelona. More information on how to reach the venue by airplane or train will be provided later. Madrid is very close to Toledo, a small historical city worth visiting. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: The paper must start with a title, an abstract and keywords, but should be anonymous. It should be followed by a succinct statement appropriate for a non-specialist reader specifying the subject addressed, its background, the main achievements, and their significance to information theoretic security. Technical details directed to the specialist should then follow. Self citations to unpublished work should be avoided to maintain the anonymity. A limit of 12 singlespaced pages of 11pt type (not counting the bibliography and clearly marked appendices) is placed on all submissions. The total paper must not exceed 20 pages. Since referees are not required to read the appendices, the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Abstracts that have been or will be submitted in parallel to other conferences or workshops that have proceedings are not eligible for submission. One of the authors is expected to present the paper. The submission receipt deadline is February 23, 2007. Instructions on how to submit electronically will be posted soon on the event webpage and http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/Y.Desmedt/ICITS IMPORTANT DATES: Submission Deadline: February 23, 2007 Authors Informed: April 9, 2007 Preproceedings versions due: April 27, 2007 PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Carlo Blundo (University of Salerno, Italy) Gilles Brassard (University of Montreal, Canada) Ronald Cramer (CWI, The Netherlands) Yvo Desmedt, Chair (University College London, UK) Matthias Fitzi (Aarhus University, Denmark) Hideki Imai (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan) Kaoru Kurosawa (Ibaraki University, Japan) Keith Martin (Royal Holloway, UK) Rei Safavi-Naini (University of Wollongong, Australia) Doug Stinson (University of Waterloo, Canada) Stefan Wolf (ETH, Switzerland) Moti Yung (RSA & Columbia University, USA) Yuliang Zheng (University of North Carolina, USA) GENERAL AND LOCAL CHAIRS: General Chair: Javier Lopez Local Co-Chairs: Julio Cesar Hernandez, and Maria Isabel Gonzalez Vasco STEERING COMMITTEE: Carlo Blundo (University of Salerno, Italy) Gilles Brassard (University of Montreal, Canada) Ronald Cramer (CWI, The Netherlands) Yvo Desmedt, Chair (University College London, UK) Hideki Imai (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan) Kaoru Kurosawa (Ibaraki University, Japan) Ueli Maurer (ETH, Switzerland) Rei Safavi-Naini (University of Wollongong, Australia) Doug Stinson (University of Waterloo, Canada) Moti Yung (RSA & Columbia University, USA) Yuliang Zheng (University of North Carolina, USA)
