IFIPTM 2007 Joint iTrust and PST Conferences on Privacy, Trust Management and Security July 30th -- August 2nd, 2007 Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada CALL FOR PAPERS http://pstnet.unb.ca/itrust-pst2007 Submission Deadline EXTENDED: February 23rd, 2007 In 2007, the iTrust and PST conferences will join together to provide a truly global platform for the reporting of research, development, policy and practice in the interdependent areas of Privacy, Security, and Trust. The iTrust international Conference looks at trust from multidisciplinary perspectives: economic, legal, psychology, philosophy, sociology as well as information technology, is built on the work of the iTrust working group (http://www.itrust.uoc.gr), and has had four highly successful conferences in Europe to date. The PST conference has quickly established itself as a leader in multidisciplinary research on a wide range of topics related to Privacy, Security and Trust, looked at from research and practice, through academe, business, and government. The two conferences come together as the first annual meeting and conference of the newly formed IFIP Working Group on Trust Management (IFIP WG11.11), a major step forward in Trust Management work globally. The program of the conference will feature research papers, industrial and government presentations. We are also keen to hear from parties interested in hosting workshops, both theoretical and practical, under the auspices of the conference - contact the Program Chairs for more details. It is expected that the conference will contain tracks on Trust Management, Privacy and Policy, Security, Public Safety and National Security, and Mobile and Emerging Technologies. In addition, iTrust-PST 2007 will feature a "Business Day" designed to bridge the gap between the research and technology being undertaken at universities and research organizations, and the practical needs of industry. We are soliciting Business Day presentations including industry presentations, workshops and panels describing innovative applications, case studies and best practices with a goal of fostering collaboration between the research community and the private sector. Finally, iTrust-PST 2007 will feature an opportunity for interested parties to demonstrate their research and development projects. For more information, please contact the Program Chairs. For the detailed list of topics of interest for iTrust-PST 2007 see http://pstnet.unb.ca/itrust-pst2007 High-quality papers in that at the time of submission are not under review or have not already been published or accepted for publication elsewhere are solicited. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, to be published by Springer under the auspices of the IFIP WG 11.11 on Trust Management. Submissions must be in English.

PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES FOR MULTIPLE COPIES CALL FOR PAPERS ICCCN 2007: 16TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS http://sa1.sice.umkc.edu/icccn2007 August 13 - 16, 2007 Turtle Bay Resort, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Sponsors: Technical Co-Sponsorship by IEEE TCCC and Nokia (all pending approval) Broadband Wireless Access Symposium Recently, wireless communications and networking have developed to the point where broadband wireless access is one of the hottest areas of research, development and deployment in telecommunications. The early cellular systems were narrowband systems focused mainly on voice and low-rate data. Today, 3G systems support broadband, high data rates, high mobility, and many applications beyond voice. Furthermore, data communications are going beyond the initial wireless LAN systems with modest data rates, to a variety of broadband data network options, including WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) and related systems. There are a variety of approaches to broadband wireless access, most of which could co-exist as alternatives for accessing the future converged all-IP core networks. The symposium focuses on recent advances in broadband wireless access. We solicit original and unpublished research achievements in various aspects of broadband wireless access, including, but not limited to, the following topics: * Broadband wireless LAN * WiMAX and related systems * Broadband mesh networks * CDMA, TDMA, OFDM, air interfaces * UWB communications and networking * Network infrastructure supporting broadband wireless access * Network protocols * MAC protocols for broadband wireless access * Smart Antennas * MIMO systems * Adaptive modulation * 4G Mobile Network Architectures * OFDMA and other multiple access technologies for broadband wireless * Multiuser systems, multiuser detection * Single-carrier, multi-carrier, and multi-rate systems * Interference Avoidance * Cross-layer design for broadband wireless * System capacity and performance analysis * Broadband channel measurements * Spread-spectrum for broadband wireless * Multi-rate communications Submission of Manuscripts: Please follow the general submission requirements of ICCCN07.

During the abstract submission process, author and password information will need to be entered and a Paper ID# will be assigned. This Paper ID# and password will be used to upload papers. The abstract must NOT contain any ITAR-related, classified, or proprietary information. Abstracts will only be used to help define the sessions. The Unclassified Author’s Kit provides instructions to authors for preparation of the full and final manuscripts and the required forms. Full papers will be reviewed for acceptance only when all appropriate forms have been completed and received. Classified Technical Program Submission Process: All persons wishing to attend and/or participate in the Classified Technical Program must, at a minimum, possess a current Secret personnel security clearance and be a U.S. citizen. Non-U.S. originated papers will NOT be accepted for the Classified Technical Program. All abstracts for the Classified Technical Program must be unclassified. Please submit a title and a brief unclassified abstract (up to 2000 characters) of your intended paper via email to: casto.milcom2007(a)harris.com. Each submission requires author name, affiliation, citizenship, address, phone and fax numbers, email address, and the applicable area. For papers with more than one author, indicate the point of contact. Do NOT use WAMS to submit abstracts, full papers, or the final papers for the Classified Technical Program. All papers for the Classified Technical Program must be prepared following the instructions and formatting guidelines in the Classified Author’s Kit. Proposals for Tutorials and Panels: MILCOM 2007 solicits proposals for unclassified half-day tutorials, and unclassified and classified panels on state-of-the art communications, networking, and interoperability technologies. The tutorial proposals should include a brief outline of the tutorial, instructor biography, and relevant instructor experience. The Unclassified Tutorials Kit provides the applicable forms and the formatting guidelines for the tutorial material. Please forward your proposals to the MILCOM 2007 Tutorial Program Chair, Rich Folio, at folio.milcom2007(a)harris.com. Proposals for Panels: The proposals for panels should include a brief outline of the panel discussion topics, panel participants, and panel moderator along with their bios. A Panels Kit provides the information about the applicable forms and the guidelines for the preparation of the panel material. Please forward your proposals to the MILCOM 2007 Panels Program Chair, Leo deCardenas, at decardenas.milcom2007(a)harris.com. Tutorials and Panels Important Dates: Proposals Due: 16 March 2007 Notification: 20 April 2007 Material Due: 13 July 2007 For further details and information about MILCOM 2007 please visit www.milcom.org.
