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 *********************************************************************** SPANIOL Otto, Prof. Dr. Tel.: +49-241-80 21400/401 Aachen University of Technology Home: +49-241-57 45 90 Computer Science Department FAX: +49-241-80 22220 D - 52056 Aachen Email: Office address: spaniol(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Ahornstrasse 55 www: http://www-i4.informatik.

31 Jan '04

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP). Call for Participation ----------------------- 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. Logistical Details ------------------ Date: February 20, 2004 Venue: Marina Del Rey Hotel, CA Hotel Information: Marina Del Rey Hotel 13534 Bali Way Marina del Rey, CA 90292 Hotel Reservations: Call 1-800-882-4000 Special Rate: $99.00 Ask for: USC-NSF Networking of Sensor Systems Workshop Cutoff date: February 6, 2004 Hotel Shuttle: Hotel has free shuttle from LAX, call 310-745-5181 for pickup. Web site: http://enl.usc.edu/sensorsystems_meeting Registration: http://enl.usc.edu/sensorsystems_meeting Registration Fee: $50, payable on-site. Contact: sensorsystems_meeting(a)enl.usc.edu for questions about the workshop. 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.

Re: Job Descriptions: IFIP TC and WG Chairs
by gjo＠daimlerchrysler.com 29 Jan '04

29 Jan '04

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. Gus Olling "Max Bramer" <Max.Bramer@port. To: "IFIP TC Chairs" <Max.Bramer(a)port.ac.uk> ac.uk> cc: Subject: Job Descriptions: IFIP TC and WG Chairs 01/26/2004 09:33 AM Please respond to Max.Bramer To: All IFIP TC Chairs cc: Chair, Technical Assembly 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. Max Bramer Chair, TC12

CFP - RAID 2004 - Call for Papers
by Yves Roudier 27 Jan '04

27 Jan '04

[Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement] 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 Critical infrastucture protection (CIP) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: Refik Molva <refik.molva(a)eurecom.fr> Program Chairs: Erland Jonsson <erland.jonsson(a)ce.chalmers.se> Alfonso Valdes <valdes(a)sdl.sri.com> Publication Chair: Magnus Almgren <almgren(a)ce.chalmers.se> Publicity Chair: Yves Roudier <Yves.Roudier(a)eurecom.fr> Sponsor Chair: Marc Dacier <marc.dacier(a)eurecom.fr> PROGRAM COMMITTEE Tatsuya Baba (NTT Data, Japan) Lee Badger (DARPA, USA) Sungdeok Cha (KAIST, Korea) Steven Cheung (SRI International, USA) Herve Debar (France Telecom R&D, France) Simone Fischer-Hübner (Karlstad University, Sweden) Steven Furnell (University of Plymouth, UK) Bill Hutchinson (Edith Cowan University, Australia) Dogan Kesdogan (RWTH Aachen, Germany) Chris Kruegel (UCSB, USA) Håkan Kvarnström (TeliaSonera R&D, Sweden) Wenke Lee (Georgia Tech, USA) Roy Maxion (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) John McHugh (CMU/SEI CERT, USA) Ludovic Me (Supélec, France) George Mohay (Queensland University of Technology, Australia) Vern Paxson (ICSI and LBNL, USA) Giovanni Vigna (UCSB, USA) Andreas Wespi (IBM Research, Switzerland) Felix Wu (UC Davis, USA) Diego Zamboni (IBM Research, Switzerland) IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission : March 31, 2004 Deadline for panel submission : April 30, 2004 Notification of acceptance or rejection : June 4, 2004 Final paper camera ready copy : July 2, 2004 RAID conference dates : September 15-17, 2004 SUBMISSIONS Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop with proceedings. The full papers must list all authors and their affiliations; in case of multiple authors, the contact author must be indicated (note that RAID does not require anonymized submissions). Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically. A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will be made available at http://raid04.eurecom.fr by end of February 2004.

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 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.
