MIPS. QoFIS and NGC are highly successful international workshops
initiated by two European COST Actions, namely COST263 on Quality of
Future Internet Services and COST264 on Networked Group Communications.
MIPS resulted from the merging of two other major workshops, namely IDMS
(concentrated on interactive and distributed multimedia services) and
PROMS (focusing on protocols for networked multimedia systems); also the
associated ICQT (Internet Charging and QoS Technology) workshop is
integrated into CoNEXT 2005.
Examples of relevant topics are:
* Autonomic Communications
* Context Awareness
* Crosslayer Integration
* Dependable Networks
* Experimental Networking
* Identity Management
* Internet Economics
* Large Test-bed
* Mobile Communication
* Monitoring
* Network Security
* Overlay Networks
* Scalability
* Sensor Networks
* Service Engineering
* Traffic Engineering
* User Perceived QoS
* Wireless

Preliminary Call for Paper for the 1st International Workshop on
QUALITY of PROTECTION - QoP 2005
Security Measurements and Metrics
http://dit.unitn.it/~qop/
Milano, Italy, Thu. 15 September 2005.
Affiliated with 10th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security
(ESORICS 2005) in Milano (12-14 Sep).
http://esorics05.dti.unimi.it
and the 11th IEEE International Software Metrics Symposium (METRICS
2005) in Como (19-22 Sep)
http://www.swmetrics.org/metrics2005
===========================================================================
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Information Security in Industry has matured in the last few decades.
Standards such as ISO17799, the Common Criteria, a number of
industrial certification and risk analysis methodologies have raised
the bar on what is considered a good security solution from a business
perspective.
Yet, if we compare Information Security with Networking or Empirical
Software Engineering we find a major difference. Networking research
has introduced concepts such as Quality of Service and Service Level
Agreements. Conferences and Journals are frequently devoted to
performance evaluation, QoS and SLAs. Empirical Software Engineering
has made similar advances. Notions such as software metrics and
measurements are well established. Processes to measure the quality
and reliability of software exist and are appreciated in industry.
Security looks different. Even a fairly sophisticated standard such as
ISO17799 has an intrinsically qualitative nature. Notions such as
Security Metrics, Quality of Protection (QoP) or Protection Level
Agreement (PLA) have surfaced in the literature but still have a
qualitative flavour. The "QoP field" in WS-Security is just a data
field to specify a cryptographic algorithm. Indeed, neither ISO17799
nor ISO15408 (the Common Criteria) addresses QoP sufficiently.
ISO17799 is a management standard, not directly concerned with the
actual quality of protection achieved; ISO15408 is instead a product
assessment standard and yet does not answer the question of how a
user of a product assessed by it can achieve a high QoP within his/her
operational environment. Both standards cover just one aspect of an
effective QoP and even the combination of both would not address the
aspect sufficiently. "Best practice" standards, such as the baseline
protection standard published by many government agencies, also belong
to the category of standards that are useful, but not sufficient, for
achieving a good QoP.
Security is different also in another respect. A very large proportion
of recorded security incidents has a non-IT cause. Hence, while the
networking and software communities may concentrate on technical
features (networks and software), security requires a much wider
notion of "system", including users, work processes, organisational
structures in addition to the IT infrastructure.
The QoP Workshop intends to discuss how security research can progress
towards a notion of Quality of Protection in Security comparable to
the notion of Quality of Service in Networking, Software Reliability,
or Software Measurements and Metrics in Empirical Software
Engineering.
SUBMISSION TOPICS:
Original submissions are solicited from industry and academic experts
to presents their work, plans and views related to Quality of
Protection. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Industrial Experience
* Security Risk Analysis
* Security Quality Assurance
* Measurement-based decision making and risk management
* Empirical assessment of security architectures and solutions
* Mining data from attacks and vulnerabilities repositories
* Security metrics
* Measurement theory and formal theories of security metrics

Ad hoc networks are self-organising, wireless systems, formed by co-operating
nodes equiped with wireless interfaces. Communications among nodes which are
not directly reachable, are carried out through multihop paths. Their topology
is dynamic, decentralized and ever changing due to the arbritarily movement of
ad hoc nodes.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
2005 International Workshop
"World Class Events: Telecommunications Challenges"
WCE2005
University of Waterloo, Waterloo,
Ontario, Canada
6 May 2005
To be held in conjunction with '2005 IFIP Networking Conference'
http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/Networking2005
Throughout the telecommunications industry, organizing world class
events presents unique challenges and drives explosive changes in
service offerings, network infrastructures, and product technologies.
The host city’s or country’s reputation on being able to organize such
world class events may depend on the mastery of providing a "Perfect
Network".
This workshop is a unique gathering opportunity for select industry
executives, seasoned managers, expert researchers and senior subject
matter experts from sponsor organizations of world class events,
telecommunication companies, and government officials of host
cities/countries to discuss the requirements and steps necessary to
build and operate a "Perfect Network" for such events. They will share
experiences, plans, "do lists", and their vision to ensure a "Perfect
Network". An intense day of selected presentations and possible
refreshing panel discussions will focus on how to avoid "re-inventing
the wheel" every time that a city or country becomes a candidate/host
for such world class events.
Confirmed Key Speakers of the industrial track:
- Delivering an Olympic Class Network in 2010, Justin Webb, Vice
President Olympic Solutions, Bell Canada
- Telecommunication Challenges for the Olympic Games, Spilios Makris,
Director Olympic Program, Telcordia
- Telecommunications at the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics, Yiannis
Antoniadis, Olympic Games Telecommunications Command & Control Deputy
