ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS AND MULTIMEDIA SECURITY
edited by Borka Jerman-Blazic, Institut Jozef Stefan, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Tomaz Klobucar, Institut Jozef Stefan, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Security, trust and confidence can certainly be considered as the most
important parts of the Information Society. Being protected when working,
learning, shopping or doing any kind of e-commerce is of great value to
citizens, students, business people, employees and employers. Commercial
companies and their clients want to do business over the Internet in a
secure way; business managers when having meetings by videoconferencing
tools require the exchanged information to be protected; the publishing
industry is concerned with the protection of copyright; hospital patients
have a right to privacy; etc. There is no area in the Information Society
that can proliferate without extensive use of services that provide
satisfactory protection and privacy of data or personality.
Advanced Communications and Multimedia Security presents a
state-of-the-art review of current perspectives as well as the latest
developments in the area of communications and multimedia security. It
examines requirements, issues and solutions pertinent to securing
information networks, and identifies future security-related research
challenges. A wide spectrum of topics is discussed, including:
Applied cryptography;
Biometry;
Communication systems security;
Applications security; Mobile security;
Distributed systems security;
Digital watermarking and digital signatures.
This volume comprises the proceedings of the sixth Joint Working
Conference on Communications and Multimedia Security (CMS'02), which was
sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing
(IFIP) and held in September 2002 in Portoroz, Slovenia. It constitutes
essential reading for information security specialists, researchers and
professionals working in the area of computer science and communication
systems.

Subject: 30,000 EURO available for IFIP-UNESCO grant scheme
Dear All,
Following an application under UNESCO's Participation program IFIP was
granted 15,000 USD in support of an "IFIP-UNESCO Project to Assist the
participation of IT Professionals from Developing and Central and Eastern
European Countries in International ICT activities".
In consultation with the DCSC Chair and the IFIP Treasurer I am pleased to
inform you that a match-up sum of 15,000 EURO would be provided from DCSC
thereby making available a total amount of 30,000 EURO for the execution of
this project.
Experience shows that DC participants do not have the means to take part in
key ICT meetings and conferences mainly due to lack of travel support. Such
meetings usually outline the state-of the-art and the future development in
the field and benefit specialists who can afford the cost of travel and
participation. In order to give an chance to ICT specialists from
developing countries IFIP proposes this grant scheme to enable DC
professionals to take part in IFIP events held in industrially developed
countries and to assist and promote participation of key lecturers in IFIP
events in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Central and Eastern Europe.
The key objectives of this project are to assist the participation of
specialists and institutions from less advantaged countries in
international ICT events, initiatives and projects by providing travel
grants for IFIP conferences and supporting IFIP lecturers in developing
countries [the lecturers' local living costs should be expected by the
recipient organization]. Grant recipients and lecturers would be requested
to deliver reports after the event describing their participation and
experience and possible implications of the conference themes to research
and applications in the country and region.
The project applies for activities from 1 April to 30 November 2003. A list
of IFIP conferences for which applications could be considered is available
at http://www.ifip.or.at/cal_even.htm#act
All applications need to be submitted by the respective national GA
representative or TC Chair to the DCSC Chair, Anselmo del Moral
<adelmoral(a)eside.deusto.es> with a cc. to me at <nedkov(a)ifip.or.at>. ONLY
applications submitted by GA representatives and TC Chairs as focal points
of this scheme would be considered. GA reps and TC Chairs are kindly
requested to make this clear to their societies and working groups in
order to avoid misunderstandings.
The deadline for submission of applications is 15 February 2003. After that
date no further submissions would be taken into account. A maximum of 3
applications per country or per Technical Committee could be considered.
The maximum amount allocated for a single application should not exceed
1,000 EURO for participation within a given region and 1,500 EURO for
participation involving travel to another region.
The grants are intended to assist travel and living expenses and conference
registration fees. Eligible for this scheme are societies and individuals
from developing and Central and Eastern European Countries.
During the forthcoming IFIP Council meeting, the IFIP Developing Countries
Support Committee together with IFIP's TC Chairs, the Treasurer and the
IFIP-UNESCO Liaison Officer will review all applications and will select
according to the merits and the available funds.
All applications need to contain the following information:
1. Applicant Society or TC and priority of application from 1 to 3.
2. For what purpose is the grant requested: [i.e. which IFIP conference]
3. Additional contribution from Society (additional financial support),
Technical Committee (TC Fund) and event organizer (such as waiving of
conference fee).
4. Beneficiary; name and address of individual or organization who would
directly benefit from the grant
5. Expected result (what benefits are expected from eventual participation)
6. Bank account (with complete bank details to which the sum, if approved,
should be transferred).
The respective GA reps and TC Chairs would be informed of the approval
status soon after the IFIP Council meeting in Bilbao, 2-6 March 2002. A one
page report including financial statement and supporting receipts should be
submitted after the event.
For any further questions please contact me or the DCSC Chair.

"SELF-MANAGING SYSTEMS"
The fourteenth IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems:
Operations & Management will be held October 20-22, 2003 in Heidelberg,
Germany. The workshop is sponsored by the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Network Management
for
Communication Networks with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE
Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and
Management (CNOM). The Workshop location is the European Institute for
Research and Strategic Studies in Telecommunications (EURESCOM),
beautifully situated above the romantic city of Heidelberg with its
unique blend of river landscape, historic town, and hillside castle.
WORKSHOP SCOPE
The scope of this workshop will be on the operations and management of
distributed systems, networks, application software, and services and
the
impact of advanced computing and network technologies on management.
The theme of this workshop will be "Self-Managing Systems".
Recent activities in distributed processing and network management
aim at building self-managing and self-organizing computing systems and
networks whose purpose is to automate some or all of the tasks typically
carried out by an administrator or management system.
This concept takes the distributed management paradigm one step further
by providing managed resources with a very high degree of autonomy.
Self-managing systems will be able to detect failures or performance
degradations, initiate diagnostic procedures and carry out
corrective actions on their own. Their ability to discover changes in
the environment will enable Self-managing Systems to adapt and optimize
their behavior.
Self-management is particularly important for mobile systems, since
mobile
environments are highly dynamic and consist of a very large number of
managed systems. The workshop will explore infrastructures, techniques,
and
methods that can be used to design and implement such self-managing
systems, as
well as research results on other topics related to distributed
management.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
* Frameworks and Platforms for Self-managing Systems
* Case Studies and Experiences with Self-managing Systems
* Self-healing Systems and Networks
* Using Peer-to-peer Technologies for Management
* Management Issues in Grid Computing and Grid-based Management Systems
* Application of Service oriented Architectures (Web Services, Open Grid
Services Architecture) to Self-managing Systems
* Implementation and Integration of Self-managing Systems with
standardized frameworks, management architectures and APIs
(OSI/TMN, SNMP, CORBA, WBEM/CIM, JMX)
* Experiences with Distributed Management of Systems, Applications and
Services
* End-to-end Service Provisioning
* Monitoring, Event and Fault Handling
* QoS Management in Distributed Systems and Networks
* Transaction Monitoring and Management
* Automated Instrumentation of Distributed Applications
* Management Information Models
* Inter-Domain Management
* Adaptive Services and Applications
* Active Technologies for Management
* Policy-based Management
* Configuration Management and Self-Configuration
* Security and Trust Issues in Distributed Management
* Mobility Management
WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION
The workshop is an effort to bring together people actively working in
the management area. This international workshop is the 14th in a series
of highly successful annual workshops on "Distributed Systems:
Operations
& Management (DSOM)". Recent DSOM workshops were held in Zurich (1999),
Austin (2000), Nancy (2001), and Montreal (2002).
Selection of contributions will be based on reviews of the papers
submitted. We also plan to hold a work-in-progress session where early
work will be presented.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or
experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from
ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to DSOM 2003.
*** Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to DSOM 2003 ***
Authors are requested to submit:
- Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages) or
- Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 2 pages)
in PDF or Postscript format. Detailed Author Instructions are available
from the Workshop web site http://www.dsom2003.org/.
The Proceedings of the Workshop, comprising both the accepted long and
short papers will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes
in
Computer Science (LNCS) Series. If accepted, the camera-ready copy of
each paper will have to comply with the instructions available from the
Springer web site at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Note that a paper does not have to follow this style for submission;
however, being aware of the LNCS requirements may help save extra work
later.
A Best Paper Award will be presented. Candidates for the award will be
identified during the regular review process; an independent awards
committee will evaluate the candidate papers together with their
presentations and select the best paper.
