CFP: IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems

von Moustafa Youssef

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Second IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems (DSSNS'2006) http://www.dssns.org In conjunction with 2nd NASA/IEEE Systems and Software Week 30th NASA/IEEE Software Engineering Workshop (SEW'2006) Columbia, Maryland, USA ~ April 24-28, 2006 Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential use of networked sensors in applications such as smart environments, disaster management, combat field reconnaissance, and security surveillance. While the initial view of the community was that networked sensors will play a complementary role that enhances the quality of these applications, recent research results have encouraged practitioners to envision an increased reliance on sensor networks and systems (SN&S) in such critical and sensitive applications. Therefore to realize their potential, necessary dependability and security (D&S) measures have to be incorporated in the design and during the operation of SN&S. Dependability is usually specified using attributes like reliability, survivability, safety, maintainability, and availability in presence of failure, while security is specified by attributes like integrity, authenticity, confidentiality, and availability in presence of attacks. D&S services accomplish tasks for attack and failure prevention, detection and response. The scope of D&S services may span the deployed sensors to command nodes and likely beyond. It also involves D&S support at, and cross-cutting, the protocol stack layers from physical to application. Achieving dependability and security in SN&S will require non-conventional mechanisms due to many factors including: (1) sensors are significantly constrained in the amount of available resources such as energy, storage and computation; (2) sensors are expected to be deployed in very large numbers in normal as well as harsh/hostile environments; (3) sensor networks suffer from structural weakness and limited physical protection, and (4) localization of impact is complicated due to the un-tethered nature of SN&S and of the potential attackers. In addition, D&S requirements may vary according to mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, data collection), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery), and time. This workshop will foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results on dependability and security in SN&S. Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following: - Fault and intrusion-tolerant architectures, middleware and operational models - Robust routing, storage, and processing of sensed data - D&S architectures, protocols and tools - Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures - Monitoring and evaluation techniques - Robust clustering techniques - Self-awareness and context-awareness - Resilient virtual infrastructures - Autonomic and adaptive D&S support. - Formal representation and verification of D&S properties - Network inference support for D&S - Quality of service provisioning - Models, metrics, and measurements for D&S - Privacy-aware D&S services - Testbeds, simulation and visualization - Agent-based D&S management - SN&S support for D&S in larger information grids - SN&S application development environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- For guidelines regarding paper submission, please refer to the workshops website (http://www.dssns.org). Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. The manuscript should not exceed 20 single-column double-space pages in PDF format, font size 11 or larger.

Re: [ifip-tc6] LNCS Prices once again

von Roger Johnson

Otto What we need to calculate is the NET cost to IFIP ie what the WG pays less the royalty to IFIP. How IFIP splits the money internally between TCs & WGs and IFIP's central costs is an IFIP issue not a matter for the publisher. It appears to me Route A (IFIP LNCS) 5850 - 1444 = 4406 Route B (Standard LNCS) 4242 - 0 = 4242 Route C (IFIP main series) 4759 - 3000 = 1759 (maximum) (No royalty on bulk sale and 12% on sale price of full price if/when all sold) Otto - if your figures are correct and I do not have the information to hand this means that after 500 euros of royalties the IFIP main series is cheapest for the IFIP "family". If this is correct then we have to find a way of funnelling more of the royalty back to the TC/WGs to reduce conference costs. For example in the above example why not give 10% of the royalty to the TC/WG that earns it. In most cases (except where full price sales are very low - which is very unusual) the overall cost to the TC/WG would be less than any LNCS price. PROPOSAL - Royalties come in to IFIP as the books sell. An increased proportion should be given to TC/WGs. Once a steady state is reached, TCs could subsidise future events with royalties from past events. Everybody wins. Note - Assuming these figures are correct, the most expensive route is IFIP/LNCS - which looks to be a rip-off. Basically rather than sharing profits with IFIP for offering the publisher a series to publish with the reduction of office work and marketing etc. involved in that, LNCS add a surcharge and pass it back to IFIP less a handling charge of 10%!

I assume that royalty paid would be a mixture of price for bulk sales and for books sold on the free market (whose number could be very near to zero since the normal list price is 125 USD, i.e. approx. 100 EURO, which is outrageously high) and that no rroyalties will be paid for books which have been produced but can nver be sold due to high prices.

Re: [ifip-tc6] LNCS Prices

von Otto Spaniol

Dear Amy (and all others), thank you so much for you long awaited information concerning the publication prices. I have somme coments, questions and an example (in order to see whether I understood it). When producing such an example, one sees that the conditions depend on page number, bulk sales number etc. for the three variants of publication. Comment: The list prices for "Regular IFIP are outrageously high". (125 USD for a book of 250 pages; instead as of 31,52 EURO if you take a bulk sale of 151 copies). Under such conditions, nobody will buy such a book "on the free market". Concerning Royalties: Question 1: Is the calculation based on the list prices or on the bulk sales price? Question 2: In the case of IFIP LNCS: Are royalties paid even for the 50 complimentary copies (probably not). Question 3: In the case of IFIP LNCS: Are royalties paid for the bulk sale? The answer to these questons has some impact on my example (which comes below). Best regards and thank you very much for the information Otto Spaniol -------------------------------------- Proceedings publication example: Assumptions: 250 pages; 151 copies taken by the organisor; estimated 400 copies produced in total (out of which are 50 complimentary copies if IFIP LNCS is used).

the internet should be for everyone

von Louis Pouzin

Dear TC6 friends, As you know, the internet is not for everyone, but only for those who can write their name in english. For promoting multilingualism in the internet, I am collecting as many possible statements in native languages, provided that they use at least some non ascii characters. The statement should read, in each language: "Internet for everyone = internet in your own native language" or something close to it. Due to predictable problems with fonts available on each machine, it is highly desirable to get those statements in pdf or gif (or even jpg). Please don't forget to add (in english) the *name of the language* used. To everyone of you taking the time for this task, THANK YOU.

Springer Prices

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, in order to prepare yourself for the price discussion debate here comes some very recent information (finally!) concerning the book prices of IFIP publications (together with an explaining message from Springer and a question made by Eduard Dundler, IFIP secretariat). As far as I can see, the second attachment is a subset of the third one. Thus number 1 and number 3 are of main importance. My interpretation is that "IFIP LNCS" is indeed more expensive than "Regular LNCS". However we habe to compare that price difference with the royalties and with the 50 complimentary copies (which are independent of an bulk sale size!). If we include the 50 copies then the prices are to my opinion comparable to each other (I will have to check that more in detail!). "IFIP series" (i.e. former Kluwer) is even a little cheaper than "Regular LNCS" and this price would be further reduced if a higher bulk size is ordered (e.g. from 40 USD to 21.01 USD for a 256 page book if you order 501 books instead as of just 75; the first line in the "number of copies" is superfluous since you have to order a mimimum of 75 copies). See you in Wroclaw Otto -------------------------------------- Dear All, For my understanding: Does this mean that books in the IFIP main series are at nearly the same level as "normal LNCS books" and IFIP LNCS is between 35% and 40 % higher than "normal LNCS"? Best regards Eduard ________________________________________ From: Brais, Amy [mailto:Amy.Brais@springer.com] Sent: Donnerstag, 20.

I apologize for the delay in my response. Attached, please find three charts. The first attachment is the IFIP Bulk Sale grid (Eur), with list prices at the bottom (USD), as stipulated by the 2005 contract with IFIP. The second attachment is a comparison of LNCS to IFIP-LNCS list prices, depicted in Euros. The third attachment is an attempt to combine the information in the two previous charts. I have used the bulk sale price for the lowest number of copies from the IFIP grid, in order to get a sense of comparative conference costs. This comparison is imperfect at best, in that the sales of each are handled differently, and the page count brackets to determine price are slightly different for each series. Please feel free to consider the information in the way that seems the most accessible and productive to you. Please keep the following in mind when reviewing this information: 1. IFIP royalties are 12% on all copies sold. 2. IFIP-LNCS royalties are 10% of the estimated total sales of the volume. This is a one-time advance publication royalty. 3. IFIP-LNCS provides 50 complimentary copies with any conference order. After that, conference bulk sales cost 40% off the list price. 4. In the third chart, the IFIP bulk sale prices assume the smallest bulk sale order and are therefore the highest price for that page count bracket. For larger bulk orders, the price per copy decreases significantly. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can provide you with any additional information. Jennifer will be back in the office next week and will have the rationale for the pricing of the respective series to you by November 1.
