A conference trend?

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, we are always quite upset about the growing number of no-shows at our conferences. The following shows that this is not a problem of IFIP alone. In this case, this a little dubious event charged 185 USD for a CD-ROM + a promise to review the manuscripts "in most cases" but of course to include them into the CD-ROM without any obligation to attend the event (see the two last lines which are marked by an asterisk). Have fun (or are you shocked?). Best regards Otto ---------------------------------------------------------------- Virtual Presentations Those who are unable to attend the conference in person but wish to participate in this major international event, virtual presentation is available. Virtual Presentation allow participants to submit papers for refereeing and publication in the conference proceedings, just like a regular paper. Virtual participants will receive a full copy of the conference proceedings. In 2005 IBIMA conferences, there were more than 100 virtual presentations. To participate in the conference using this venue, please visit virtual presentation registration. The review process for virtual presentations will strictly follow the review process for regular submissions. Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution. Each paper will be exposed to a full blind peer review in most cases. Short papers will be reviewed by the editor. Summary of review feedback/reports will be sent back to the author(s) in most cases. All comments and suggestions should be addressed in the final submission. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. * Please note that a virtual presentation does not mean you are able to present by remote (e.g. Internet streaming or teleconferencing).

***** Apologize for multiple copies ****** INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN SYSTEMS BIOLOGY 18 and 19 October 2006 The Microsoft Research - University of Trento Centre for Computational and Systems Biology TRENTO - ITALY http://www.msr-unitn.unitn.it/events/cmsb06.php The CMSB (Computational Methods in Systems Biology) conference series was established in 2003 to help catalyze the convergence of modellers, physicists, mathematicians, and theoretical computer scientists from fields such as language design, concurrency theory, program verification, and molecular biologists, physicians, neuroscientists interested in a systems-level understanding of cellular physiology and pathology. CMSB'06 solicits original research articles (including significant works-in-progress), surveys of current research and posters. These may cover theoretical or applied contributions that are motivated by a biological question and can demonstrate either actual or potential usefulness towards answering that question. They may also cover models of computation inspired by biological processes; the motivation may be as much computational as biological. Particularly relevant case studies and open issues from the biological side that demands modeling of systems are of interest as well. The introduction of formal models should be supported by theoretical arguments about the model and/or on the analyses that they enable, by comparisons with other network models, and/or by examples of representation and analysis of a biological system. Topics of interest include: 1. Biological systems and networks: inference, properties, modeling, dynamics, simulation and reverse engineering 2. Formal methods for drug discovery and design 3. Methods to predict biological network behavior from incomplete information 4. Models including symbolic evolution and learning 5. Models of Self-assembly 6. Detailed case-studies on how a biological question was successfully addressed using formal models 7. Emergence of properties in complex biological systems 8. Theoretical comparisons between different formal models of cellular processes 9. Differential, discrete and/or stochastic modeling-language frameworks 10. Quantitative formal languages 11. Biologically-inspired extensions to concurrency theory, constraint programming, logical methods or language equivalences 12. Computer models in nano-sciences applied to biological domains 13. Definition and study of theoretical properties of biologically-inspired formal languages 14.

CFP: FCS-ARSPA'06 (Workshop on Foundations of Computer Security and Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis)

von vigano＠inf.ethz.ch

apologies for multiple copies ************************ **** **** **** FCS-ARSPA'06 **** **** **** ************************ A LICS'06 (and FLoC'06) Affiliated Workshop on FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SECURITY and AUTOMATED REASONING FOR SECURITY PROTOCOL ANALYSIS Seattle, Washington, August 15-16, 2006 http://www.inf.ethz.ch/~vigano/fcs-arspa06 *********************** *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** *********************** Submission deadline: May 10, 2006 BACKGROUND, AIM AND SCOPE ========================= Computer security is an established field of computer science of both theoretical and practical significance. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in logic-based foundations for various methods in computer security, including the formal specification, analysis and design of security protocols and their applications, the formal definition of various aspects of security such as access control mechanisms, mobile code security and denial-of-service attacks, and the modeling of information flow and its application to confidentiality policies, system composition, and covert channel analysis. The workshop FCS-ARSPA'06 is the fusion of two workshops. The workshop FCS continues a tradition, initiated with the Workshops on Formal Methods and Security Protocols (FMSP) in 1998 and 1999, then with the Workshop on Formal Methods and Computer Security (FMCS) in 2000, and finally with the LICS satellite Workshop on Foundations of Computer Security (FCS) in 2002 through 2005, of bringing together formal methods and the security community. The ARSPA workshop is the third in a series of workshops on Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis, bringing together researchers and practitioners from both the security and the formal methods communities, from academia and industry, who are working on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security protocols. The first two ARSPA workshops were held as satellite events of IJCAR'04 and of ICALP'05, respectively. The aim of the joint workshop FCS-ARSPA'06 is to provide a forum for continued activity in these areas, to bring computer security researchers in closer contact with the LICS community, and to give LICS attendees an opportunity to talk to experts in computer security. We thus solicit submissions of papers both on mature work and on work in progress. We are interested both in new results in theories of computer security and also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories, as well as in new results on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security protocols. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Automated reasoning techniques Access control and resource usage control Composition issues Authentication Formal specification Availability and denial of service Foundations of verification Covert channels Information flow analysis Confidentiality Language-based security Integrity and privacy Logic-based design for Intrusion detection Program transformation Malicious code Security models Mobile code Static analysis Mutual distrust Statistical methods Privacy Tools Security policies Trust management Security protocols All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. SUBMISSION ========== Submissions should be at most 15 pages (a4paper, 11pt), including references, in the Springer LNCS style available at the URL http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html The cover page should include title, names of authors, co-ordinates of the corresponding author, an abstract, and a list of keywords. It is recommended that submissions adhere to the specified format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately. Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication in the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit. Simultaneous submissions to a journal or another conference are accepted. Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically, as portable document format (pdf) or postscript (ps); please, do not send files formatted for work processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or Wordperfect files). The only mechanism for paper submissions is via the electronic submission web-site (which will soon be available). IMPORTANT DATES =============== Papers due: May 10, 2006 Notification of acceptance: June 16, 2006 Final paper versions due: July 14, 2006 Workshop: August 15-16, 2006 PUBLICATION =========== Informal proceedings will be made available in electronic format and they will be distributed to all participants of the workshop.

Factors impacting packet dynamics include cross traffic, architectures of intermediate nodes (e.g., routers, gateways, and firewalls), complex interaction of hardware resources and protocols at various levels, as well as implementations that often involve competing and conflicting requirements. Parameters such as packet reordering, delay, jitter and loss that characterize the delivery of packet streams are at times highly correlated. Load-balancing at an intermediate node may, for example, result in out-of-order arrivals and excessive jitter, and network congestion may manifest as packet losses or large jitter. Out-of-order arrivals, losses, and jitter in turn may lead to unnecessary retransmissions in TCP or loss of voice quality in VoIP. With the growth of the Internet in size, speed and traffic volume, understanding the impact of underlying network resources and protocols on packet delivery and application performance has assumed a critical importance. Measurements and models explaining the variation and interdependence of delivery characteristics are crucial not only for efficient operation of networks and network diagnosis, but also for developing solutions for future networks. This workshop will provide a forum for interaction among researchers and practitioners working in the area of packet dynamics. We solicit papers dealing with all aspects of packet dynamics, including measurements, characterization, modeling and mitigation of its adverse effects. TOPICS OF SPECIAL INTEREST (but not limited to) o Measurement of stream characteristics (reordering, delay, losses, jitter, etc.) o Measurement and estimation of network characteristics o Tools, metrics and benchmarks o End-to-end packet dynamics o Timing aspects in packet dynamics o Impact of load balancing, parallelism within nodes, etc. on packet dynamics o QoS mechanisms and their impact on packet dynamics o Models (e.g., relating protocols, resources and architectures to packet dynamics) o Mitigation of adverse effects of reordering, jitter, etc. o Traffic engineering o Impact of packet dynamics on application performance INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AUTHORS Regular or short papers The IPDy 2006 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press , posted on IEEE Xplore , and indexed by SCI and EI.

Apologies for multiple copies received. Please, distribute it to interested colleagues and students ********************* ATC-06 ************************* The 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06) http://grid.hust.edu.cn/atc06 Organized by Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech. (HUST) Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying) Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006 ****************************************************** Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing with ever increasing scale and heterogeneity, and becoming overly complex. Such the complexity is getting more critical along with ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, autonomic computing focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that perform self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-ware operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and pervasive infrastructure based global computing exist universally in the course of dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-06 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic and trusted computing and communication. ATC-06 as a conference comes out of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan, Dec.), and the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria, April). Topics include but are not limited to the following: Autonomic Computing Theory and Models * Nervous/organic model, reaction, pro-action, control, persistence, negotiation, cooperation, etc. Autonomic Computing Architectures and Systems * Autonomic elements, relationship, architecture, framework, middleware, prototype, system, etc. Autonomic Computing Components and Modules * Autonomic component/module such as memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, OS, etc. Autonomic Communication and Services * Autonomic network, ad hoc/sensor net, grid, P2P, web service, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. Autonomic System Tools and Interfaces * Tool/interface for autonomic system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. Trust Models and Specifications * Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems * Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. Trustworthy Services and Applications * Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, mobile/ pervasive services, novel applications, etc. Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues * Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: March 10, 2006 Authors Notification: May 10, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: June 10, 2006 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.
