PURPOSE AND FORMAT
The intention of this workshop foster interaction among researchers from
the industry, universities, and other research institutes on various
aspects of network monitoring, attack detection and mitigation, suitable
for high-speed networks.
The workshop aims to provide a forum for presenting and discussing recent
work, as well as ongoing and planned projects.
The workshop will consist of a number of short presentations and discussion
on current research, hot topics, position statements, and controversial
opinions, as well as practical demonstrations.
The workshop is in the spirit of the IEEE workshop series on High Speed
Networking (c.f. http://www.comsoc.org/tcgn/activities.html ), and aims
to be relatively small (not more than 60 participants), with a
considerable amount of time devoted to informal discussion.
The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
- high-speed network monitoring
- network anomaly detection
- denial of service attack detection and mitigation
- intrusion and worm detection
- attack response mechanisms
- policy based mechanisms for detection and response
- high speed firewalling technology
- network honeypots
- use of overlay and peer-to-peer networks for detection and
mitigation
- detection and mitigation of attacks in overlay networks
- attack detection and mitigation in mobile networks
The workshop format will include invited keynote presentations as well
as short presentations selected from the submissions.
Accepted submissions will be published in workshop proceedings with
ISBN number and will be made available on the Web.
INFORMATION TO CONTRIBUTORS
The following types of contributions are invited:
- Research papers of up to 6 pages, presenting original, recent and
innovative research results or developments within the scope of the
workshop.
- Extended abstracts of up to 3 pages, presenting ongoing or planned

***********************************************************************************************
STM (Security and Trust Management) is a recently established working
group of ERCIM (European Research Consortium in Informatics and
Mathematics). STM 2006 is the second workshop in this series, and has
the following aims:
- to investigate the foundations and applications of security and trust
in ICT
- to study the deep interplay between trust management and common
security issues such as confidentiality, integrity and availability
- to identify and promote new areas of research connected with security
management, e.g. dynamic and mobile coalition management (e.g., P2P,
MANETs, Web/GRID services)
- to identify and promote new areas of research connected with trust
management, e.g. reputation, recommendation, collaboration etc
- to provide a platform for presenting and discussing emerging ideas
and trends
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- semantics and computational models for security and trust
- security and trust management architectures, mechanisms and policies
- networked systems security
- privacy and anonymity
- Identity management
- ICT for securing digital as well as physical assets
- cryptography
The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case
studies, and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions
discussing the application and deployment of security technologies in
practice.
Paper submissions. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers
that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must have authors'
affiliation and contact information on the first page. Papers are limited
to 12 pages in ENTCS style format (using the generic template).
Excessively long papers will be returned without review. Accepted papers
will be published in a post-workshop ENTCS volume. To submit a paper,

ACM Mobishare Workshop 2006
http://www.mobishare.org/
==========================================================
(in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2006, Sept. 23 to 29, 2006)
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
The 1st International Workshop on Decentralized Resource Sharing in
Mobile Computing and Networking (Mobishare) aims to provide a forum
where researchers from the wireless networking community and the
systems community can discuss and present new research relevant to the
intersection between the two communities. In particular, MobiShare
focuses on the applicability and transfer of decentralized/peer-to-peer
techniques to multihop wireless networks (wireless mesh networks,
opportunistic (ad hoc) extensions to the Internet, vehicular networks,
etc.). The submission of early system design proposals is encouraged,
which when complete could be relevant to a conference such as MobiCom,
Sigcomm, NSDI, and MobiSys.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Overlay construction techniques for wireless networks
* Techniques for epidemic information dissemination
* Cross-layering techniques
* Mobile applications (e.g. serverless email, IM, gaming)
* Decentralized lookup services for wireless networks
* System services and system support (distributed DNS/NFS)
* Data transport and streaming protocols in wireless networks
* Security issues
* Incentive models
* Modeling, simulation and performance evaluation
Paper submission instructions:
------------------------------
Submission of papers based on work-in-progress is encouraged. Submitted
papers must not be previously published elsewhere or currently under
review for any other publication. Submitted papers should print on DIN
A4 and US Letter sized paper and be not longer than 6 pages in 10 point
font. Paper should be submitted in PDF format through the submission
link on the website: http://www.mobishare.org. Please direct any
questions about the paper submission process to the program co-chairs.
