Eighth International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security
of Distributed Systems (formerly Symposium on Self-stabilizing
Systems) (SSS 2006) November 17th-19th, 2006, Dallas, Texas, USA.
http://www.irisa.fr/sss/2006/
======================================================================
Important Dates
Paper Submission: July 7th, 2006
Notification to Authors: August 21st, 2006
Camera-ready: August 31st, 2006
Symposium: November 17th-19th, 2006
======================================================================
The Symposium is a prestigious international forum for researchers and
practitioners in the design and development of fault-tolerant
distributed systems with self-* properties, such as self-stabilizing,
self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing, self-repairing,
self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and self-protecting.
The theory of self-stabilization has been enriched in the last 25
years by high quality research contributions in the areas of
algorithmic techniques, formal methodologies, model theoretic
issues, and composition techniques.
All these areas are essential to the understanding and maintenance of
self-* properties in fault-tolerant distributed systems.
Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its
evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as
peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad
hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new applications such
as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and
robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process
control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of
distributed systems.
Now, more than ever, the theory of self-stabilization has tremendous
impact in these areas. Therefore, this year, we are extending the
scope of the symposium to cover all safety and security related
aspects of self-* systems. The title of the conference has been
changed to reflect this expansion. There will be three tracks:
networking, safety and security, and self-* properties in static and
dynamic systems.
The symposium solicits contributions on all aspects of
self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and
programing, from theoretical contributions, to reports of the actual
experience of applying the principles of self-stabilization to static
and dynamic systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Stabilization:
- self-stabilizing systems
- self-managed, self-assembling, autonomic and adaptive systems
- self-optimizing and self-protecting systems
- self-* abstractions for implementing fundamental services in static
and dynamic distributed systems
- impossibility results and lower bounds for self-* systems
- application of stabilizing algorithms and techniques in dynamic
distributed systems
- data and code stabilization
- algorithms for self-* error detection/correction
Safety:
- safety critical systems
- trust models and specifications
- semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk and
reputation
- trust-related security and privacy
- reliable and dependable systems
- fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable
systems, failure recovery
Security:
- security of network protocols
- security of sensor and mobile networks protocols
- secure architectures, frameworks, policy, intrusion
detection/awareness
- proactive security
- self-* properties and their relation with classical fault-tolerance
and security
- security protocols for self-* systems
Networks and Applications:
- models of fault-tolerant communication
- stochastic, physical, and biological models to analyze self-*
properties
- communication complexity
- data structures for efficient communication
- self-stabilizing hardware, software, and middleware
- algorithms for high-speed networks, sensors, wireless and robots
networks
- mobile agents
- peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, MANETs, and wireless mesh
networks
- network topologies, overlays, and protocols
- protocols for secure and reliable data transport and search in
wireless mesh networks
- information storage and sharing in wireless mesh networks
Contributors are invited to submit a PDF file of their paper.
Submissions should be no longer than 4800 words and should not exceed
12 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11 point font and
reasonable margins (the page limit includes all figures, tables, and
graphs). Submissions should include a cover page (that does not count
towards the 12 page limit) that includes paper title, authors and
affiliations, contact author's e-mail address, an abstract of the work
in a few lines, and a few keywords.
Submitted papers may have appendices beyond the 12 page limit, but
reviewers are free to disregard any material beyond the 12 page limit.
A paper submitted to SSS 2006 is expected to be original research
not previously published; a submission may not be concurrently
submitted or to any other conference, workshop, or journal.
The proceedings of the conference are expected to be published in the
Springer Verlag LNCS series. Selected papers will appear in a special
issue of a high quality journal devoted to SSS 2006.
Call for Papers: IWAN 2006
Eighth Annual IFIP TC6
Working Conference on Active and Programmable Networks
September 25-29, 2006
Paris, France
http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/Iwan.htm
Co-located with
SMARTNET'06 - INTELLCOMM'06 - WAC'06
as part of Autonomic Networking 2006
IWAN06 will be part of the "Autonomic Networking" conference, which is
the first international conference on all aspects of autonomic
networking (architecture, services, tools, security,
communications, ...). This conference groups four past events:
SMARTNET on tools for autonomic networking
(http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/SMARTNET.htm);
INTELLCOMM on autonomic management and services
(http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/Intellcomm.htm);
WAC on autonomic communications
(http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/WAC.htm )
and IWAN on active networks
(http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/IWAN.htm)
Active and programmable networking has, over the past several years,
laid the foundations of providing easy, but robust, introduction of
new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding
dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability
and service deployment architectures can bring the right services to
the customer at the right time and location. The methods and
technologies explored in active and programmable networking research
have helped realise the trend towards ad-hoc networks, autonomic
computing and communications, sensor networks and content-aware
distribution. Also, active and programmable networks will continue to
play an important role in future network architectures where the
Quality of Service aspects of performance, security and resilience are
crucial.
IWAN06 brings together members of various communities using active and
programmable network techniques to address the above challenges, and
it provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving
researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We
encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active
network based communication, including foundations of robust languages
and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service
deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the
meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and
services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of
concept and/or quantitative results. However, we welcome high quality
descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or
where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of
others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not
limited to, the following active and programmable networking topics:
* Architectures and new concepts for programmability and
flexibility in networks
* Standardization of frameworks
* Secure and robust network operation
* Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies
* Self-organizing and self-managing networks
* Cognitive networks
* Design and development methodologies and tools
* Overlay networks
* Storage in networking
* Active and programmable technologies for Grids
* Security within programmable and active frameworks

WRS06
The Sixth International Workshop on
Reduction Strategies in Rewriting and Programming
http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~antoy/wrs06/
The Seattle Sheraton Hotel and Towers,
Seattle, Washington, August 11, 2006
Scope
The workshop intends to promote and stimulate international
research and collaboration in the area of evaluation
strategies. It encourages the presentation of new
directions,developments and results as well as surveys and
tutorials on existing knowledge in this area. Reduction strategies
study which subexpression(s) of an expression should be
selected for evaluation and which rule(s) should be applied. These
choices affect fundamental properties of a computation such as
laziness, strictness, completeness and need to name a few. For this
reason some programming languages, e.g., Elan, Maude, *OBJ* and
Stratego, allow the explicit definition of the evaluation
strategy, whereas other languages,e.g., Clean, Curry, and Haskell,
allow its modification. Strategies pose challenging theoretical
problems and play an important role in practical tools such as
theorem provers, model checkers and programming languages. In
implementations of languages, strategies bridge the gap between
operational principles, e.g., graph and term rewriting,narrowing
and lambda-calculus, and semantics, e.g., normalization,
computation of values and head-normalization. The previous
editions of the workshop were: WRS 2001 (Utrecht, The
Netherlands),WRS 2002 (Copenhagen, Denmark), WRS 2003 (Valencia,
Spain), WRS 2004 (Aachen, Germany), and WRS 2005 (Nara,
Japan). See also the WRS permanent page at

rewriting, infinitary rewriting, lambda calculi, higher order
rewriting, conditional rewriting, rewriting with built-ins,
narrowing, constraint solving, etc.
* application of strategies to equational, functional,
functional-logic programming languages
* properties of reduction strategies and corresponding computations,
e.g., completeness, computability, decidability, complexity,
optimality, normalization, cofinality, fairness, perpetuality,
context-freedom, need, laziness, eagerness, strictness
* interrelations, combinations and applications of reduction under
different strategies, e.g., evaluation mechanisms in programming
languages, equivalence conditions for fundamental properties like
termination and confluence, applications in modularity analysis,
connections between strategies of different frameworks,etc.
* program analysis and other semantics-based optimization
techniques dealing with reduction strategies
* rewrite systems, tools, implementations with flexible or
programmable strategies as an essential concept or ingredient
* specification of reduction strategies in real languages
strategies suitable to software engineering problems and
applications tutorials and systems related to evaluation
strategies

FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SECURITY

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

Augusto, Otto, all
I plan to attend the meeting (assuming I can use my air miles to get to Lisbon).
I'm trying to persuade my wife to come with me for once.
Is anyone else going to be accompanied by their spouses, partners or whatever is the politically correct word today?
Regards
Peter

Subject: [ifip-tc6] Invitation to TC6 meeting
Dear colleagues,
The first meeting of TC6 in 2006 will take place in Coimbra, Portugal on May 19th and 20th. You are kindly invited to attend this meeting.
The meeting follows the Networking Conference, which takes also place in Coimbra starting on May 15th. I have already agreed with Otto Spaniol that the TC6 meeting will start on Friday (May 19th) in the morning and will end on Saturday (May 20th) by lunch time. Therefore, all the planning is done assuming this time allocation. On Friday evening there will be the TC6 dinner in a place still to be defined and on Saturday afternoon you are invited for a small excursion in Coimbra and its surroundings.
In attach you can find a document containing information about Coimbra, the two available hotels and the excursion. It is urgent that you choose the hotel and book it following the indications given in the document. We advise you to do it until April 8th as the block booking is only accepted until that date. You do not need to worry with transportation to the meeting place in the University, as the local organization will provide it. Concerning the two hotels, I can inform that Hotel Astoria is near the old part of town but has only three stars although it is a renovated hotel. Hotel Melia is a more modern hotel with four stars but is not in the old town.
Later on we will provide more information about the meeting and the meeting agenda will be directly sent by Otto.
Looking forward to seeing all of you in Portugal
Best regards
Augusto Casaca

Call for Papers
The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems
(MASS-2006)
October 9 - 12, 2006
Vancouver, Canada
http://www.ieee-mass.org
Sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society, IEEE TC on Distributed Processing and TC on Simulation
OVERVIEW
Earlier research in wireless networks and mobile computing has concentrated on single-hop
networks, where network nodes communicate directly with a fixed infrastructure, such as
cellular or satellite systems. More recently, interest in multi-hop networks, such as mobile
ad hoc networks and sensor networks, has stimulated a significant amount of scientific research.
In particular, wireless mesh networking (a new community network architecture) has been proposed
as an alternative for providing Internet access to business and residential customers. This
conference focuses on multi-hop ad hoc and sensor networks systems, covering topics ranging
from physical issues to applications.
TOPICS
Manuscripts that focus on analytical modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and/or experimental
studies of the following topics of interest are sought:
- Channel behavior modeling and its impact on design of higher-layer protocols
- Directional and smart antennas for ad hoc networks
- MAC protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
- Provisioning of wireless QoS; e.g., bandwidth and delay assurance
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) and routing metrics
- Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
- Power-aware and energy-efficient design
- Topology construction and maintenance of coverage
- Cross-layer design and optimization
- Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless ad hoc networks
- Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor networks
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in wireless sensor
- Reliability, security, and trustworthiness in ad hoc and sensor networks
- Operating system and middleware support
- Applications of multi-hop technology
