Dear all,
at the occasion of IFIP GA in Santiago the problem of hosting TC/WG websites
was discussed.
TC6 is particularly involved in this problem since our actual webmaster
(Herbert
Leitold) will not be able to continue his excellent work.
Basie von Solms (by the way: the new president elect of IFIP)
has written the following message - including a questionnaire.
Please study the message and the attachment.
This will be discussed further at the Paris meeting.
Best regards
Otto

Betreff: [Ifip_tcchairs] TC/WG Websites
Gesendet: Donnerstag, 14. September 2006 9:56 Uhr

Dear TC Chairs
At the last GA the idea of central hosting of TC and WG web sites was
discussed a number of times.
To advance this matter, I undertook to get some basic information from
TCs and WGs regarding the present situation. I drafted the attached
questionnaire, which I do not claim to be comprehensive and complete. I
may have missed some important qiestions, so please help if that is the
case.
Will you please complete the questionnaire for your TC and send the
questionnaire to all your WG Chairs so that they can have it completed
also.
I would like the replies back by end October. That will allow me to
draft some type of business/financial model (with input from some
experts) which we will then submit to the EB/FC for reaction by Council
2007.
I appreciate your help and input.
Regards
Basie

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
QoP 2006
2nd Workshop on Quality of Protection
Security Measurements and Metrics
URL: http://dit.unitn.it/~qop/
To be held in conjunction with CCS-2006
(13th ACM Conference on Computer and Communication Security)
October 30, 2006
Alexandria, VA USA
_____________________________________________________________
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This year’s QoP’06 (Quality of Protection Workshop – Security
Measurements and Metrics) workshop continues a roadmap towards the
establishment of scientific and technical methods for the quantitative
evaluation of a variety of security services, solutions and patterns.
The objective is to provide for Security Engineering the same set of
tools and techniques that are available in empirical Software
Engineering, Communication Engineering and other sister disciplines
and that mark the shift from arts to engineering.
The workshop called for original research results and industrial
experience reports on leading edge issues in security measurements and
metrics, including models, systems, applications, and theory. QoP’06
gives to academia and industry a unique opportunity to share their
perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of security
measurements and metrics.

Dear all,
thank you very much for the report of the special TC6 meeting
in Santiago de Chile.
Many many thanks in particular to Wojtek Cellary (WG 6.11)
for preparing this report in such a short time.
Note:
There is a quite positive addition to the report which is due to the
subsequent IFIP General assembly meeting:
1. When I reported on our plans to go to Africa (Mozambique, South Africa,..)
for tutorials, Ramond Morel and Leon Strous came and proposed
to organise seminars in Ethiopia, too - before WITFOR 2007 (Addis Abeba,
22-24 August 2007).
Proposed topics would be "Networking and Security", perhaps together
with TC11.
The organisation together with WITFOR has the advantage that in this case
the participation of different countries can be almost guaranteed
(whereas in Mozambique we would be limited to people from
that country only; nevertheless, Mozambique is not out and should be
done in addition to that).
Moreover, the problem of finding a suitable location will be
greatly simplified; probably we can stay in the premises where
WITFOR will be held.
2. I contacted thereafter the chairman of DCSC (Developing Country
Support Committee), Prof. Kim from Korea, telling him that
the hotel cost can probably not be covered by the host country,
namely Ethiopia, if the event is connected to WITFOR, since the
majority of partcipants would be expected from other countries
and then the host country would be hardly willing to pay for that.
Immediately, DCSC agreed in its subsequent meeting to allow
up to 3.000 EURO for such purposes.
3. Our plan (to be discussed further in Paris) is now:
2007: Ethiopia (in connection with WITFOR) in August 2007 (before
August 22)
Mozambique; dates still unlear.
2008: South Africa; prbably in September
2009: Brazil; Florianopolis; together with TC3; probably in September.
4. In addition to that we will participate in other events, e.g. in the
traditional series in Latin America which are organised 2007 in Costa Rica
and subsequently in other countries.
Best regards
Otto
CALL FOR PAPERS
JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/jnsm/
Special Issue on Peer-to-Peer Technologies in Network and Service Management
One of the most interesting and promising technologies of the last five
years is the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology. This technology allows users
to voluntarily share computer resources such as storage space,
processing power, and bandwidth. An important characteristic of P2P
systems is that there is little or no central control, and each system
can act as a client as well as a server. Initially, P2P systems were
used for file-sharing purposes; examples of such systems are Kazaa and
Bittorrent. Nowadays, P2P technologies are also used for many other
kinds of applications, including VoIP (Skype), video distribution
(GhostShare), and decentralized auctions (PeerMart).
From a management perspective, P2P systems pose completely different
challenges than traditional client-server systems. P2P systems include
hardly any centralized management components and most distributed
management functions are performed in an automatic way; examples of such
functions include resource discovery, security, and NAT traversal. From
a management perspective, P2P technologies are also interesting to
manage traditional client-server application. Compared to traditional
manager-agent technologies, the promise of P2P technologies is better
scalability, improved reliability, and lower operational costs.
This special issue of Journal of Network and Systems Management will
focus on the management of P2P systems and the use of P2P technologies
for managing traditional systems. Submissions may span a broad range of
topics, including:
• P2P-based management architectures and protocols
• Distributed control and management in P2P systems
• Accounting and payment in P2P environments
• Security and trust management for P2P systems
• (identification, authentication, reputation, auditing)
• Performance, scalability, and reliability of P2P systems
• (bandwidth, CPU load, memory usage)
• Detection and analysis of P2P traffic
• Impact of data retention legislation for P2P systems
• Case studies and measurements
Authors are invited to submit high quality and unpublished papers that
are not under review in any other conference or journal. Submissions
should be in single-column PDF format through the JEMS system
(https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/jnsm).
Paper preparation instructions can be found in any copy of the Journal,
or by visiting the JNSM Web site at http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/jnsm/.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
======================
Program Highlights
As one of the original IEEE conferences on sensor and wireless networks, the
Third IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems
(MASS 2006) features a strong technical program, which spans topics such as
analytical modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and experimental studies of
wireless and sensor networks. The technical program is composed of 12
single-track sessions, totalling 48 papers (selected from close to 200
submissions). Along with these high-quality technical papers, MASS'06
program also includes a number of invited talks, which will highlight the
state-of-the-art research in, and speculate on the future of, wireless and
sensor network applications. Prof. P.R. Kumar of University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign and Dr. Krishan Sabnani of Bell Laboratories, Lucent
Technologies, will deliver keynote speeches, while Prof. Vijay Bhargava of
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, will present a dinner speech.
To foster technical discussions
in an informal setting, the program includes poster sessions and provides
researchers with ample of opportunities to discuss their evolving ideas and
gather feedback from the networking community. Finally, the program includes
a number of selected industrial exhibition and demonstrations.
