Dear all,
please let me first thank you so much for the enormous
degree of confidence which you have expressed for me AND FOR RAMON.
Indeed, the total number of votes which have been received
(much higher than in other elections) is a clear sign
that TC6 is very alive and that delegates and WG chairpersons
care about the committees.
Some words concerning my candidature should be in order:
as I was TC6 chairman from 1992 until 1997 I didn't consider
a new period as chairman at all. However, in July and
in August 2003 the list of potential candidates was empty
therefore I was then contacted by quite a substantial number
of delegates who asked me, and sometimes urged, me to do the job again.
And even when another candidate emerged (in September 2003) I was again
contacted by several delegates asking me to uphold my candidature.
At the end of the day I couldn't resist them ... and now
we have to live the outcome.
During the last weeks (and not knowing anything about the
result of the voting) Ramon and myself tried to arrive at
a suitable strategy how to best serve TC6. We agreed that
we will form a team (which will work very well since we are
very good friends). We agreed that the best solution would be
to have two co-chairs (such as e.g. in WG 6.8) but I'm not sure
- and rather sceptical - whether this would be in line
with the rules of IFIP. If such a solution is not possible
then Ramon will act as vice-chairman. We are absolutely sure
that this will be a win-win situation for TC6.
Finally, my sincerest thanks go to Augusto who paved the way
for a very strong position of TC6 both within IFIP and outside.
Both Ramon and myself will rely on his experience in order to
further substantiate the position of TC6 in the IFIP Council
and the General Assembly.
Thus, let's look optimistically into the future. And let's follow
the motto of Sepp Herberger, the coach of the German soccer team
which won the world championship in 1954). He said: "After the match is
before the match".
Best wishes to all of you and many thanks once again
Otto

NSF Informational Meeting for the NeTS Program
Focus Area: Networking of Sensor Systems
---------------------------------------------------------
Meeting Website: http://enl.usc.edu/sensorsystems_meeting
Relevant NSF Solicitation:
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2004/nsf04540/nsf04540.htm
The NSF recently issued a new solicitation 04-540 on Research in
Networking Technology and Systems. One of the focus areas in this
solicitation is the Networking of Sensor Systems. This focus area is
concerned with the design and development of protocols, operating
systems, and network architectures and with building systems that
facilitate constructing networks of sensor systems. The overall goal
is to make it as easy to assemble a network of sensor systems in the
next few years as it became in the 1980s to assemble a LAN of
workstations using the BSD Unix protocol stack and socket interface
and Ethernet line cards.
This is a call for participation in a one-day informational meeting
that will help potential proposers to get background information on
the focus area and on the state of sensor systems research. The
meeting has limited seating so please RSVP early.

Goals of the Informational Meeting
----------------------------------
The purpose of the informational meeting is to share with the
community the goals and scope of the focus area. By including
presentations from researchers, vendors, and applications experts,
this meeting will enable attendees to get a sense of the state of the
art in sensor networks, and the key challenges facing the focus area
and sub-areas thereof. It will help the community better target
proposals; PIs will be able to conserve efforts by understanding which
proposals would be completely out of scope. Finally, it will start to
build a community for the focus area, perhaps encouraging early
collaboration and potentially strengthening the pool of submissions.
Format
------
The meeting will start with the cognizant NSF program officer(s)
presenting an overview of the focus area, and providing some context
for the focus area within the broader networking program at NSF. This
presentation will include the technical and logistical details of the
focus area, and will be followed by an open question and answer
session from the attendees.
This break will then be followed by five panels of approximately one
hour each. Each panel will consist of speakers drawn from the
community who will cover different aspects of sensor network systems.
Each panel will have three panelists who will summarize lessons
learned from the first generation of sensor systems, and discuss the
challenges in each of the sub-areas.

Dear Max:
I appreciate your effort to document the job descriptions for Technical
Committee Chair, as well as WG Chair. I have one minor comment on Item #3
in the TC Chair description:
"To appoint Chairs of Working Groups on the recommendation of the TC and
other members of Working Groups with the approval of the TC and Working
Groups."
What I'm saying is that the Chair ought to be appointed by the TC Chair,
not only with the approval of the TC, but also, in my opinion, with the
approval of the Working Group.
In the description of the WG Chair, I like to suggest one additional item:
To foster collaboration with other TC's and Working Groups and organize,
where appropriate, events of mutual interest and support.

At the last Technical Assembly I was asked to create a generic
job description for TC Chairs and WG Chairs for report back
to the Council meeting in Cape Town.
In doing this I have been aware of the large differences that can
exist between the most active TCs and WGs and those that are
less well established or are newly created. To reflect this I have
aimed at producing job descriptions that include all
the relevant information in the current Bylaws and could
reasonably be held to apply to all TCs and WGs, whilst allowing
individual TCs to specify additional responsibilities if they wish.
I have placed drafts of the two job descriptions on the web at
http://www.bramer.plus.com/tc12/tcchair_desc.htm
and
http://www.bramer.plus.com/tc12/wgchair_desc.htm
Please let me have your comments as soon as possible. I should
like to issue a revised version early in February for your approval in
principle before the TA meeting in Cape Town.

CALL FOR PAPERS
RAID 2004
"Intrusion Detection and Society"
Seventh International Symposium on
Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection
Institut Eurécom, Sophia-Antipolis, French Riviera, France
September 15-17, 2004
http://raid04.eurecom.fr
RAID 2004 will be collocated with ESORICS 2004
This symposium, the seventh in an annual series, brings together leading
researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to
discuss intrusion detection technologies and issues from the research
and commercial perspectives. The RAID International Symposium series is
intended to further advances in intrusion detection by promoting the
exchange of ideas in a broad range of topics.
For RAID 2004 there is a special theme: the interdependence between
intrusion detection and society. Thus, we will also welcome papers that
address issues that arise when studying intrusion detection, including
information gathering and monitoring, as a part of a larger, not
necessarily purely technical, perspective. For example, the implication
of information gathering and detection technologies on enterprises,
organisations and authorities, as well as legislative and governing
bodies is within scope, but also the impact and restrictions from those
bodies on the design and technology. This would include issues such as
privacy, risk and emergency management, crisis management, security
policies, standardisation and legal issues. An increasingly important
dynamic is the strategic importance of protecting national information
infrastructures, which is in some tension with the fact that much of
this infrastructure is in the private sector. Related to this is the
potential strategic impact of attacks at the intersection of information
and physical infrastructure.
The RAID 2004 program committee invites three types of submissions:
- Full papers presenting mature research results. Papers accepted
for presentation at the Symposium will be included in the RAID 2004
proceedings published by Springer Verlag in its Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series.
Full papers are limited to 20 pages when formatted according to the
instructions provided by Springer Verlag. Papers must include an
abstract and a list of keywords.
- Practical experience reports describing a valuable experience
or a case study, such as the design and deployment of a system or
actual experience from intrusion detection or network monitoring.
These reports are reviewed differently from full papers and do not
necessarily include fundamental scientific contributions or new
research ideas.
Practical experience reports are limited to 12 pages when formatted
according to the instructions provided by Springer Verlag.
They must include an abstract and a list of keywords.
- Panel proposals for presenting and discussing hot topics in the
field of intrusion detection systems.
The panel proposals should include both an outline of the format of
the panel and a short rationale for the panel. Panels that include
time for general discussion and questions/answers between the
panelists and the Symposium attendees are preferred.
All topics related to Intrusion Detection Systems and Technologies
are within scope, including their design, use and maintenance,
integration, correlation and self-protection, just to mention a few.
With reference to this year's theme and extended scope we also
invite papers on the following topics, which may not be in the
mainstream of intrusion detection:
Risk assessment and risk management
Intrusion tolerance
Deception systems and honeypots
Privacy aspects
Data mining techniques
Visualization techniques
Cognitive approaches
Biological approaches
Self-learning
Case studies
Legal issues

CALL FOR PAPERS
ESORICS 2004
9th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security
Institut Eurécom, Sophia Antipolis, French Riviera, France
September 13-15, 2004
http://esorics04.eurecom.fr
ESORICS 2004 will be collocated with RAID 2004
Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer
security are solicited for submission to the Ninth European Symposium on
Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2004). Organized in a series of
European countries, ESORICS is confirmed as the European research event in
computer security. The symposium started in 1990 and has been held on
alternate years in different European countries and attracts an
international audience from both the academic and industrial communities.
>From 2002 it will be held yearly. The Symposium has established itself as
one of the premiere, international gatherings on Information Assurance.
Papers may present theory, technique, applications, or practical experience
on topics including:
access control accountability
anonymity applied cryptography
authentication covert channels
cryptographic protocols cybercrime
data and application security data integrity
denial of service attacks dependability
digital right management firewalls
formal methods in security identity management
inference control information dissemination control
information flow control information warfare
intellectual property protection intrusion tolerance
language-based security network security
non-interference peer-to-peer security
privacy-enhancing technology pseudonymity
secure electronic commerce security administration
security as quality of service security evaluation
security management security models
security requirements engineering security verification
smartcards steganography
subliminal channels survivability
system security transaction management
trust models and trust trustworthy user devices
management policies
The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case
studies and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions of papers
discussing industrial research and development. Proceedings will be
published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series.
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 should be at most 15 pages excluding the
bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font), and at most
20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices,
and so the paper should be intelligible without them.
To submit a paper, send to esorics04(a)dti.unimi.it a plain ASCII text email
containing the title and abstract of your paper, the authors names, email
and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and identification of the
contact author. To the same message, attach your submission (as a MIME
attachment) in PDF or portable postscript format. Do NOT send files
formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect
files). Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits.
Submissions must be received by March 26, 2004 in order to be considered.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by May 30,
2004. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright
statement and must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the
conference. Authors of accepted papers must follow the Springer Information
for Authors guidelines for the preparation of the manuscript and use the
templates provided there.
