2nd IEEE International Workshop on Security, Trust, and Privacy for Software
Applications (STPSA 2007)
in conjunction with COMPSAC 2007
Beijing, USA , July 24-27, 2007
http://conferences.computer.org/compsac/2007/workshops/stpsa.html
MOTIVATION
Information security has become a major concern for both pervasive and
non-pervasive software applications. Software systems must be engineered
with reliable protection mechanisms with respect to security, privacy, and
trust, while still delivering the expected value of the software to their
customers. The traditional approaches to secure a system (e.g., IDS,
firewalls) are no longer sufficient to address many security, trust, and
privacy (STP) issues. These issues should be addressed by building more
effective STP-aware software applications. The principal obstacle in
developing STP-aware software is that current software specification,
design, implementation, and testing practices do not include adequate
methods and tools to achieve security, trust, and privacy goals.
As most systems now are Internet-based, the number of attackers is
increased dramatically and threat scenarios have changed. Traditional
security measures do not fit well for the software of pervasive
applications. Since location and contexts are key attributes of pervasive
applications, the privacy issues need to be handled in a novel manner than
traditional software applications. The devices in pervasive computing leave
and join in ad hoc manner in the pervasive network. These create a need for
new trust models for pervasive computing applications. In this workshop, we
will also welcome papers on the challenges and requirements of security,
privacy, and trust for pervasive software applications.
This workshop will focus on techniques, experiences and lessons learned
with respect to the state of art for the security, trust, and privacy
aspects of both pervasive and non-pervasive software applications along with
some open issues.
SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Security, trust, and privacy specific software development practices
Security, trust, and privacy requirements elicitation and specification
Models and languages for STP-aware software specification and design
Architecture for STP-aware software development
STP challenges for pervasive software applications
Testing security, trust, and privacy properties of both pervasive and
non-pervasive software
STP management and usability issues in software applications
User interfaces for STP-aware pervasive and non pervasive software
Software reengineering for security, trust, and privacy for both pervasive
and non pervasive applications
Tradeoffs among security, privacy, trust, and other criteria
STP challenges in e-services, e.g. e-health, e-government, e-banking,
e-commerce, e-marketing and other web-based and pervasive applications
STP challenges in mobile software applications
STP issues in sensor based software applications
User interfaces for secure and privacy-aware pervasive computing
applications
STP-aware service discovery mechanisms for pervasive computing environments

Special Session:
Data Dissemination and Communication Protocols in Sensor Networks
The Third IET International Conference on Intelligent Environments
(IE'07), the University of Ulm, Germany,
September 24-25, 2007.
Website - http://www.uni-ulm.de/ie07/ (Special Sessions, Session #1)
-------------
Description
-------------
Sensor networks are used in various pervasive and ubiquitous
applications. These networks usually consist of a large number of
sensors that are deployed at remote and inaccessible places. As most of
the sensors are wireless, energy-efficient data dissemination and
communication protocols are needed; otherwise, batteries will rapidly
drain and network connectivity and coverage will become unacceptable. On
one hand, we want the sensor nodes to be active and monitor the
environment. On the other hand, we want the sensor nodes to conserve
their energy by sleeping significant amount of time. Further, depending
on the application, robustness and responsiveness can be very critical.
The objective of this special session is to provide an opportunity for
academic researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss
experiences, emerging applications, and research results for data
dissemination and communication protocols in sensor networks.
---------
Topics
---------
Topics include but not are limited to the following:
- Energy-efficient data dissemination
- Databases and query optimization
- Routing protocols
- Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols
- Connectivity and coverage
- Topology and Sleep Scheduling
- Robustness
- Security, privacy, and trust
- Smart homes
- Software design and architectures
- Intelligent agent architectures
- Machine learning and distributed data mining
- Pervasive and ubiquitous systems and services
- Industrial experience and emerging applications
- Instructions for Manuscripts
------------
Submission
------------
Authors are requested to submit a PDF file for their manuscript
following the submission guideline available at
http://www.uni-ulm.de/ie07/. All manuscripts should be submitted through
the conference submission system and choosing the area of the special
session. The papers should also be emailed to the special session
organizer for reference.

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC)
Special issue on "Game Theory in Communication Systems"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Game theory is a formal framework with a set of mathematical tools to
study the complex interactions among interdependent rational players.
For more than half a century, game theory has led to revolutionary
changes in economics, and has found important applications in
politics, sociology, psychology, and transportation. Recently, there
has been a surge in research activities that employ game theory to
model and analyze a wide range of problems in modern communication
systems. This is mainly due to (1) the emergence of the Internet as a
global platform for computation and communication, which has sparked
the development of large-scale, distributed and heterogeneous
communication systems; (2) the deregulation of the telecommunication
industry and the dramatic improvement in computation power, which make
it possible for various network entities to make independent and
selfish operational decisions; and (3) the need for robust designs
against uncertainties modeled as games between the user and a
malicious nature. Game theory can help us better understand various
complicated communication systems and design more efficient, scalable
and robust communication protocols and resource allocation algorithms.
The aim of this issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art
research contributions that address the major opportunities and
challenges of applying game theory to understanding and designing
modern communication systems, with emphasis on both new analytical
techniques and novel application scenarios. We seek original completed
and unpublished work not currently under review by any other
journal/magazine. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Game theoretical analysis/design of communication networks
- Wireless resource allocation
- DSL spectrum management
- Network pricing
- Peer-to-peer and overlay networks
- Medium access control, routing, and congestion control
- Information theoretical analysis
- Cognitive radio networks
- Security and privacy
* Minimax robustness in communication systems
- Minimax/maximin formulations
- Worst-case robust designs
- Saddle-point optimizations
- H-infinity designs
* Emerging game-theoretical models in communication systems
- S-modular and potential games
- Stackelberg and Wardrop equilibria
- Coalition games and Nash bargaining models
- Multi-stage and repeated games
- Incentive compatible mechanism design (e.g., auction)
* General game-theoretic methodologies and techniques
- Efficiency loss compared with optimization model (i.e ., price of anarchy)
- Games of imperfect or asymmetric information
- Effects of bounded rationality
- Learning mechanisms in games
- Computation of Nash, correlated, and market equilibria
- Preference elicitation and winner determination in combinatorial auctions
Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format
described in the Information for Authors
(http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html). All papers should be
submitted in the PDF format (less than 1Mbyte in file size after
compression) to EDAS (tentative submission plan, might change later),
according to the following timetable:

experts from academia, industry and government to present and discuss
novel research in these areas. DIMVA is organized by the special interest
group "Security - Intrusion Detection and Response" of the German
Informatics Society (GI). The conference proceedings will appear in
Springer's "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) series.
DIMVA solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific work. This
year we invite two types of paper submissions:
- Full papers, presenting novel and mature research results. Full papers
are limited to 20 pages, prepared according to the instructions
provided below. They will be reviewed by the program committee, and
papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in
the proceedings.
- Short papers (extended abstracts), presenting original, still ongoing
work that has not yet reached the maturity required for a full paper.
Short papers are limited to 10 pages, prepared according to the
instructions provided below. They will also be reviewed by the program
committee, and papers accepted for presentation at the conference will
be included in the proceedings (containing "Extended Abstract" in the
title).
DIMVA's scope includes, but is not restricted to the following areas:
- Intrusion Detection
* Approaches
* Implementations
* Prevention and response
* Result correlation
* Evaluation
* Potentials and limitations
* Operational experiences
* Evasion and other attacks
* Legal and social aspects
- Malware
* Techniques
* Detection
* Prevention
* Evaluation
* Trends and upcoming risks
* Forensics and recovery
- Vulnerability Assessment
* Vulnerabilities
* Vulnerability detection
* Vulnerability prevention
DIMVA particularly encourages papers that discuss the integration of
intrusion, malware, and vulnerability detection in large-scale
operational communication networks.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
-----------------
All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the
conference Web site. Submissions must be formatted according to the
instructions provided by Springer Verlag
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submitted papers must be
in English and must not substantially overlap work that has been
published before, or that is simultaneously in submission to a journal or
a conference with proceedings. Simultaneous submission, submission of
previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud.
DIMVA prohibits these practices and may take appropriate action against
authors who have committed them. Authors of accepted papers must ensure
that their papers will be presented at the conference. Presentations must
also be held in English. Details about the electronic submission
procedure will be provided on the conference Web site by the end of
December 2006. Authors of accepted papers must follow the Springer
guidelines for the preparation of camera-ready copies. Details of the
process will be provided to the authors in time.
