My feeling is that if it is a conference with good quality papers to be
expected ---
and here I would take Raouf's opinion --- we should allow cosponsorship even
if there is no exchange of funds.
Best regards to you all,

Call for Paper for the 1st International Workshop on
QUALITY of PROTECTION - QoP 2005
Security Measurements and Metrics
http://dit.unitn.it/~qop/
Milano, Italy, Thu. 15 September 2005.
Affiliated with 10th European Symposium on Research in Computer
Security (ESORICS 2005) in Milano (12-14 Sep).
http://esorics05.dti.unimi.it
and the 11th IEEE International Software Metrics Symposium (METRICS
2005) in Como (19-22 Sep)
http://www.swmetrics.org/metrics2005
=======================================================================
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Information Security in Industry has matured in the last few decades.
Standards such as ISO17799, the Common Criteria, a number of
industrial certification and risk analysis methodologies have raised
the bar on what is considered a good security solution from a business
perspective.
Yet, if we compare Information Security with Networking or Empirical
Software Engineering we find a major difference. Networking research
has introduced concepts such as Quality of Service and Service Level
Agreements. Conferences and Journals are frequently devoted to
performance evaluation, QoS and SLAs. Empirical Software Engineering
has made similar advances. Notions such as software metrics and
measurements are well established. Processes to measure the quality and
reliability of software exist and are appreciated in industry.
Security looks different. Even a fairly sophisticated standard such as
ISO17799 has an intrinsically qualitative nature. Notions such as
Security Metrics, Quality of Protection (QoP) or Protection Level
Agreement (PLA) have surfaced in the literature but still have a
qualitative flavour. The "QoP field" in WS-Security is just a data
field to specify a cryptographic algorithm. Indeed, neither ISO17799
nor ISO15408 (the Common Criteria) addresses QoP sufficiently.
ISO17799 is a management standard, not directly concerned with the
actual quality of protection achieved; ISO15408 is instead a product
assessment standard and yet does not answer the question of how a user
of a product assessed by it can achieve a high QoP within his/her
operational environment. Both standards cover just one aspect of an
effective QoP and even the combination of both would not address the
aspect sufficiently. "Best practice" standards, such as the baseline
protection standard published by many government agencies, also belong
to the category of standards that are useful, but not sufficient, for
achieving a good QoP.
Security is different also in another respect. A very large proportion
of recorded security incidents has a non-IT cause. Hence, while the
networking and software communities may concentrate on technical
features (networks and software), security requires a much wider notion
of "system", including users, work processes, organisational structures
in addition to the IT infrastructure.
The QoP Workshop intends to discuss how security research can progress
towards a notion of Quality of Protection in Security comparable to the
notion of Quality of Service in Networking, Software Reliability, or
Software Measurements and Metrics in Empirical Software Engineering.
SUBMISSION TOPICS:
Original submissions are solicited from industry and academic experts
to presents their work, plans and views related to Quality of
Protection. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Dear Raouf
Some days ago I have sent you the message below. Sorry if this is a second
copy, by I'm sending it again just to be sure that you have received the
first message.
Regards,
Lisandro
---------------------
Dear Raouf
I'm not sure, but I believe I'm supposed to send to you the attached form
requesting the IFIP technical co-sponsorship for LANOMS 2005. If I'm wrong,
however, could you please inform to whom I should send the form?
I'm also aware that the form should be faxed. I'm sending by e-mail this
time just to be sure that the required information is ok.
In addition, I would like to ask you an advice concerning the LANOMS
proceedings: Alfred Hofmann didn't react to your last message and we don't
known what to do anymore :( The paper selection process is going to be
finished soon and we still don't have any feedback from Springer. I can't
see why this is happening, because I believe LANOMS has all requisites to
have proceedings in LNCS series. Do you have any tip?
Thanks in advance,
Lisandro
Dear all,
FYI, it seems that Springer LNCS is becoming more
strict about the proceedings they will accept to
publish.
In the recent past, any conference whose scope
was a central topic of computer science was
accepted, which means that very low level events
were sitting side by side with very high level
events.
This seems to be changing. For example, TESTCOM
2005 was finally published in IFIP-LNCS, but only
after some discussion where the acceptance ratio
was a key criterion.
Anyway, we have the TC6 bylaw that all our events
(except workshops) are supposed to have
acceptance rates below 50%. If this is the case,
we will probably be accepted in IFIP-LNCS.
Therefore, we should continue to enforce this
policy, independently of the fact that we still
target LNCS publication or not (according to the
"new" TC6 publication policy).
Best regards,
Guy

IFIP International Symposium on
Network-Centric Ubiquitous Systems (NCUS 2005)
http://www.abo.fi/~lyan/conf/ncus05.html
To be held in conjunction with
IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing
(EUC 2005), Nagasaki, Japan, 6-9 December 2005
[Call for Papers]
Historically, ubiquitous systems have been highly engineered for a
particular task, with no spontaneous interactions among devices.
Recent advances in wireless communication and sensor and actuator
technologies have given rise to a new genre of ubiquitous systems.
This new genre is characterized as self-organizing, critically
resource constrained, and network-centric. The fundamental change is
communication: numerous small devices operating collectively, rather
than as stand-alone devices, form a dynamic ambient network that
connects each device to more powerful networks and processing
resources.
IFIP International Symposium on Network-Centric Ubiquitous Systems
(NCUS 2005) is launched to serve as a premier international forum for
researchers and practitioners, from both industry and academia to
share latest research results and ideas on ubiquitous networking and
its applications, thereby promoting research activities in this area.
In addition to regular research papers to be selected on standard peer
reviewed, the program of the workshop will include invited talks and
position papers.
Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following:
* Software Engineering technologies and Formal Techniques for
modeling, designing, and testing network-centric ubiquitous systems
* Hardware Architectures, Communication Protocols, Human-Computer
Interaction and other enabling technologies for network-centric
ubiquitous systems
* Theoretical foundations and algorithms for ubiquitous networking
* Context awareness, adaptation and management in network-centric
ubiquitous systems
* Peer-to-Peer and overlay networks, systems, and applications in
ubiquitous systems
* Mobile networks, Sensor networks, unmanned air and ground vehicle
networks, and applications
* Web services and Middleware support for ubiquitous networking
* Security and Trust management in ubiquitous networks, systems, and
applications
* Energy management and harvesting for network-centric ubiquitous systems
* Simulation, Performance evaluation, Experiments, and trials of
ubiquitous networks and applications
* Comprehensive survey on timely topics
[Submission]
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an electronic version of
original manuscripts (not being considered for publication elsewhere),
not exceeding 18 single-column, single-spaced pages, to
lu.yan(a)ieee.org, with the subject line "Submission to NCUS2005".
Submissions should be in PDF. Authors should make sure that the
submission can be viewed via Acrobat Reader and printed correctly via
standard letter or A4 size paper. We strongly recommend authors to
format their submissions in Springer-Verlag LNCS style (instructions
and templates are available here).
[Proceedings]
Accepted papers will be published as proceedings by Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS), Springer-Verlag. Instructions about the
preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors
of accepted papers. Authors of an accepted paper must guarantee that
at least one of the authors will attend the symposium and present
their paper.
