Dear all,
the IFIP treasurer (Dipak Khakhar, email see below) has presented
the TC budgets (see annex) and in particular the DCSC (developing country
support committee) funds for 2005.
*** If a TC6 conference wants to get a support from DCSC
then the organisor should send a request as soon as possible
to Dipak (deadline August 16) with a copy to me. ***
DCSC could be interesting for (at least) the following conferences in 2005:
Working Conference on Networking for Metropolitan Area Networks;
Working Conference on Electronic Government
WG 6.2 + 6.11;
March 28 - 31, 2005; Ho-Chi-Minh City (Vietnam);
Open Conference; 7th Conference on Mobile and Wireless Communications
Networks (MWCN'05)

Instructions for Participants
Although submission is open to anyone, attendance is by invitation.
All authors of accepted papers are invited to attend, and authors are
required to ensure that at least one will be present. This year's
meeting location will allow us to invite more participants than
previous years.
Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with published proceedings. Papers should be submitted in
Postscript or Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers submitted in a
proprietary word processor format such as Microsoft Word cannot be
considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required
to attend CSF to present the paper.
Papers may be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style
available for various document preparation systems at IEEE-CS
Press. Papers in this style should be at most 12 pages long, not
counting bibliography and well-marked appendices. Alternatively,
papers can be in Springer LLNCS style. In LLNCS style papers must be
at most 20 pages long excluding the bibliography and well-marked
appendices.
Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the
paper must be intelligible without them. Papers not adhering to the
page limits will be rejected without consideration of their merits.
The paper submission website will be open in January 2007.
Proposals for panels are also welcome. They should be no more than
five pages in length and should include possible panelists and an
indication of which of those panelists have confirmed a desire to
participate. They should be submitted by email to the program chair by
March 15, 2007.
A session of five-minute talks was successful in the last two years,
so we are likely to have one again in 2007. Abstracts will be
solicited in May.
There are PDF and HTML versions of this call for papers at
http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~andrei/CSF07/cfp.html . For further

Dear Members of the IFIP PC,
When I sent my original message to you containing the SSBM proposal
and requesting comments from you regarding the proposal, I intended that
our discussion be an internal, confidential discussion of the proposal,
on which we were requested to comment by the IFIP President.
Unfortunately I did not remind you that documents such as the SSBM
proposal (especially this one because it has not even been formally
submitted by SSBM) are confidential and should not be distributed. I
apologize for not including this reminder.
I know that those of you who are TC chairs feel that you primarily
represent your TC and therefore need to receive input from your TC on
all PC matters. It also is the case that having more perspectives will
often provide better insight as to advantages and problems. However, it
is essential that we have private, confidential, internal discussions on
matters involving negotiations with individuals or individual organizations.
If you have sent a copy of the SSBM proposal to anyone, please
request all who have received the proposal to keep it confidential and
not to provide it to anyone else.

Aims and Scopes
---------------
Pervasive computing has emerged as a new computing and
communication environment with the aim of providing services
anytime and anywhere for everyone. To facilitate resource sharing
and support group communications, pervasive computing devices
should be able to support ad hoc communications and networking.
With ad hoc communications, seamless and transparent access to
services and applications can be achieved while providing
mechanisms for establishing spontaneous and interactive networking
among communicating entities. Despite considerable progress in
mobile computing and wireless communication technologies, new user
demands and emerging applications introduce challenges in several
areas including security, privacy, processing, auto configuration,
scalability, software infrastructure, communication models and
networking infrastructure. To support flexibility and unlimited
mobility, services and applications should adapt to heterogeneous
networking environment supporting multihop communication in hybrid
wired/wireless environment.

CALL FOR PAPERS
DIMVA 2007
Fourth GI International Conference on
Detection of Intrusions & Malware, and Vulnerability Assessment
Organized by the GI Special Interest Group SIDAR
In Cooperation with
IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Information Assurance
Lucerne, Switzerland
July 12 - 13, 2007
http://www.dimva.org/dimva2007
mailto:info@dimva.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The annual DIMVA conference serves as a premier forum for advancing the
state of the art in intrusion detection, malware detection, and
vulnerability assessment. Each year DIMVA brings together international
experts from academia, industry and government to present and discuss
novel research in these areas. DIMVA is organized by the special interest
group "Security - Intrusion Detection and Response" of the German
Informatics Society (GI). The conference proceedings will appear in
Springer's "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) series.
DIMVA solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific work. This
year we invite two types of paper submissions:
- Full papers, presenting novel and mature research results. Full papers
are limited to 20 pages, prepared according to the instructions
provided below. They will be reviewed by the program committee, and
papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in
the proceedings.
- Short papers (extended abstracts), presenting original, still ongoing
work that has not yet reached the maturity required for a full paper.
Short papers are limited to 10 pages, prepared according to the
instructions provided below. They will also be reviewed by the program
committee, and papers accepted for presentation at the conference will
be included in the proceedings (containing "Extended Abstract" in the
title).
DIMVA's scope includes, but is not restricted to the following areas:
- Intrusion Detection
* Approaches
* Implementations
* Prevention and response
* Result correlation
* Evaluation
* Potentials and limitations
* Operational experiences
* Evasion and other attacks
* Legal and social aspects
- Malware
* Techniques
* Detection
* Prevention
* Evaluation
* Trends and upcoming risks
* Forensics and recovery
- Vulnerability Assessment
* Vulnerabilities
* Vulnerability detection
* Vulnerability prevention
DIMVA particularly encourages papers that discuss the integration of
intrusion, malware, and vulnerability detection in large-scale
operational communication networks.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
-----------------
All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the
conference Web site. Submissions must be formatted according to the
instructions provided by Springer Verlag
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submitted papers must be

published before, or that is simultaneously in submission to a journal or
a conference with proceedings. Simultaneous submission, submission of
previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud.
DIMVA prohibits these practices and may take appropriate action against
authors who have committed them. Authors of accepted papers must ensure
that their papers will be presented at the conference. Presentations must
also be held in English. Details about the electronic submission
procedure will be provided on the conference Web site by the end of
December 2006. Authors of accepted papers must follow the Springer
