General Information
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Security in computer systems and networks is emerging as one of the most
challenging research areas for the future. The main aim of the school is
to offer a good spectrum of current research in foundations of security,
ranging from programming languages to analysis of protocols, that can be
of help for graduate students, young researchers from academia or industry
that intend to approach the field.
The FOSAD series started in 2000 and last edition was in 2002. This year
the school covers one week (from Monday 6 to Saturday 11, September 2004)
and alternates monographic courses of 4/6 hours and short courses of 2/3
hours. We also encourage presentations given by those participants that
intend to take advantage of the audience for discussing their current
research in the area.
Location
^^^^^^^^
The school is organized at the University Residential Center of Bertinoro,
situated in Bertinoro, a small village on a scenic hill with a wonderful
panorama, in between Forli' and Cesena (about 50 miles south-east of Bologna,
15 miles to the Adriatic sea). The cheapest way to travel is by plane to
Forli' airport (the secondary airport of Bologna), which is daily connected
to London and Frankfurt AM through the low fares airline Ryanair.
Lecturers and Courses
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The school offers seven main courses, each composed of 2 seminars, each
seminar of 2/3 hours. In alphabetic order, the lecturers of the main courses
are the following:
* Michael Backes (IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland)
Cryptographic Security and Privacy Policies
* Virgil Gligor (University of Maryland at College Park, MD, USA)
Security in Sensor and Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Med-Hoc-Net 2004
================
The Third Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop
June 27-30, 2004, Bodrum, Turkey
http://www.medhoc04.diit.unict.it/
Call for Papers
---------------
Ad hoc network applications are emerging continuously imposing their own
stringent constraints which cannot be fulfilled by generic approaches and
thus spur new research efforts. The aim of Med-Hoc-Net 2004 is to serve as
a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs,
and industry from all over the globe to share their ideas, views, results,
and experiences in the field of ad-hoc networking and communications.
Med-Hoc-Net 2004 will include presentations of theoretical and
experimental achievements, innovative ad-hoc systems, prototyping efforts,
case studies, and advancements in technology directly affecting ad-hoc
networking and communications infrastructures.
After Sardinia (Italy) and Mahdia (Tunisia), this year the workshop will
take place in another beautiful spot on the Mediterranean Sea: Bodrum
(Turkey) where you will find wonderful nature and amazing historical sites
close to hand. Bodrum is easy to reach via frequent flight connections
from Istanbul.
Topics of Interest:
-------------------
The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2004 cover a variety of topics
including but not limited to:
- Novel ad-hoc network architectures and applications,
- Sensor network applications and protocols,
- Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes,
- Interfacing ad-hoc systems with different networks,
- Resource discovery and management,
- Power management and control,
- Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc networks,
- Multimedia location services,
- Self organization and network reconfiguration,
- Protocols for QoS support in ad-hoc networks,
- QoS support in Bluetooth, HIPERLAN, IEEE 802.11, etc.,
- MAC protocols, scheduling, and radio resource sharing in ad hoc
networks,
- Unicast and multicast routing algorithms and protocols,
- Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks,
- Congestion control,
- Performance evaluation of ad-hoc network protocols through
simulations, analysis, and measurements,
- Security in ad-hoc networks,
- Fault tolerance and error recovery
- Signal processing algorithms (coding, compression) for ad-hoc networks
The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings. PAPERS OF PARTICULAR MERIT WILL
BE PUBLISHED IN AD HOC NETWORKS (ELSEVIER) JOURNAL.
