DEADLINE EXTENDED: IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems

von Moustafa Youssef

Dear Colleagues, Due to the large number of requests, the submission deadline has been extended to November 14, 2005. Please see attached CFP. Sincerely, DSSNS 2006 Organization Committee (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 --------------------- 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. The first page should include title, authors' contact information, abstract and five keywords. Please e-mail (subject: DSSNS 2006) the paper as an attachment in PDF format to: submission(a)dssns.org The e-mail should include title, authors, and the corresponding author's contact information.

WWW2006 fire update - deadline extension

von Arun Iyengar

=========================================================== Extension: The submission deadline for WWW2006 refereed papers has been extended to Friday November 11 11:59PM Hawaii time (hard deadline). As you may know, on Sunday October 30 there was a significant fire at the site hosting the www2006 server. No one will be allowed into the building until Christmas and half the research labs are completely destroyed. We attempted to mask the failure with a temporary site and have restored the site as quickly as possible in order to maintain the original deadline. But we have become aware that DNS and routing problems are still causing locations to be unable to reach the site even as late as Friday November 4th 2005. Given these technical difficulties, the fairest thing to do seems to be to grant a blanket 1-week extension, until November 11th 2005. In fairness to those who submitted on time and managed to find the web site, we will allow revised versions of papers to be uploaded up to the new deadline. We apologize unreservedly for the confusion stemming from this fire and its aftermath - its been an interesting exercise in network complexity, and at least nobody was hurt - and we thank you for very much for submitting your work to WWW2006. TEMPORARY WWW2006 WEBSITE: http://www.soton.ac.uk/~lac/ but SHOULD be visible at www2006.org DIRECT ACCESS to the paper submission website: http:// www.openconf.org/www2006/ TEMPORARY EMAIL FOR ENQUIRIES: lescarr(a)gmail.com Information about the fire can be found at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/ hi/england/hampshire/4390048.stm. --- WWW2006 Co-chairs: Les Carr, Dave De Roure, Arun Iyengar WWW2006 PC Chairs: Carole Goble, Mike Dahlin
