CFP LOCAN 2006: 2nd Int'l Workshop on Localized Communications and Topology Control for Ad Hoc Networks
by Pedro M. Ruiz 19 Jun '06

19 Jun '06

Due to several requests, we decided to extend the submission deadline to June 26th. Please, find the reviesed CFP below. We apologize for any possible cross-posting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2006 2nd International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2006 (www.ieee-mass.org) Vancouver, Canada, October 9 - 12, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the research community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The main objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery * Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: June 26, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 19, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2006 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2006 workshops.

CfP:4th International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security & Trust (FAST2006)
by Fabio Martinelli 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

------------------------------------------------ 4th International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security & Trust (FAST2006) August 26-27 2006 Hamilton, Ontario Canada www.iit.cnr.it/FAST2006/ FAST2006 is a satellite event of 14th Formal Methods Symposium (FM2006). FAST is under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.7 ------------------------------------------------ NEWS: SUBMISSION web site is now open!!! (Deadline June 23 2006 !!!) OVERVIEW OF FAST The fourth International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security and Trust (FAST2006) aims at continuing the successful efforts of the first three FAST workshops for fostering the cooperation among researchers in the areas of security and trust. The new challenges offered by the so-called ambient intelligence space as a future paradigm in the information society demands for a coherent framework of concepts, tools and methodologies to enable user' trust&confidence on the underlying communication infrastructure. These need to address issues relating to both guaranteeing security of the infrastructure and the perception of the infrastructure being secure. In addition, user confidence on what is happening must be enhanced by developing trust models effective but also easily comprehensible and manageable by users. The complexity and scale of deployment of emerging ICT systems based on web service and grid computing concepts also necessitates the investigation of new, scalable and more flexible foundational models of enforcing pervasive security across organizational borders and in situations where there is high uncertainty about the identity and trustworthiness of the participating networked entities (including users, services and resources). The increasing need of building activities sharing different resources managed with different policies demand for new and business enabling models of trust between members of virtual communities including virtual organizations that span across the boundaries of physical enterprises and loosely structured communities of individuals. PAPER SUBMISSION Suggested submission topics include, but are not limited to: Formal models for security, trust and reputation Security protocol design and analysis Logics for security and trust Trust-based reasoning Distributed Trust Management Systems Digital Assets Protection Data protection Privacy and ID management issues Information flow analysis Language-based security Security and Trust aspects in ubiquitous computing Validation/Analysis tools Web/Grid Services Security/Trust/Privacy Security and Risk Assessment Case studies IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: 23 June 2006 Author Notification: 29 July 2006 Pre-proceedings version: 10 August2006 Workshop: 26-27 August 2006 Post-proceedings version: 30 September 2006 ORGANIZERS .

more about WG6.10
by Ramon Puigjaner 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Dear friends, In my report of yesterday I forget to inform you that Ionnis Tomkos has also some responsibilities in IEEE ComSoc. So I consider he is well suited for reaching an agreement between TC6 and ComSoc conerning ONDM and its publications. In my talk with Josep Sole Pareta i understood that they consider the ownership of TC6 on ONDM and the copyright of the proceedings but they are interested in publishing also the proceedings on EXPLORE, the digital library of IEEE.

WG6.10
by Ramon Puigjaner 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Dear Otto, In our last meeting in Coimbra I was committed to contact Josep Sole Pareta in order to know his ideas about how to re-launch WG6.10. I have had several phone talks with him. Between these talks he has met Iannis Tomkos (the person who won the election as Vice-Chairman). They work together, as well as with some other members of WG6.10 and involved in the organization of ONDM. Also they cooperate in the Network of Excellence E-Photon-1 dedicated to the optical and photonic networking. They are ready to take profit of all these synergies to relaunch WG6.10. I have explained some inconveniences of the current organization of ONDM (no ERF, no steering committee, etc.). They were not aware of this administrative/organizational aspects of IFIP conferences. I have suggested him to look at our web page our event organizer manual. Also, both Iannis and Josep, are ready to attend our next meeting in Paris and explain their plans for transforming the almost death WG6.10 into a real Working Group. Although during our meeting in Coimbra I was yet sick (remember my panchreatitis) I think I have filled the commitment I received. If you need any other information, do not hesitate to contact me. I will try to enhance the information.

WG6.8
by Ramon Puigjaner 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Dear Otto, In our last meeting in Coimbra we discussed about possible candidates to the chairmanship of WG6.8. Let me propose a new candidate: Pedro Cuenca from the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha. He is young (remember my idea of new blood) and active. Currently he is organizing the PWC 2006. So, this means he is well integrated in the WG6.8 activities. If you consider that he coan be a good candidate I will send you all the information you request. Do not hesitate to ask me about him. Best regards Ramon ========================================================================= Ramon Puigjaner Universitat de les Illes Balears Departament de Ciencies Matematiques i Informatica 07122 PALMA (Spain) Phone: +34-971173288 Fax: +34-971173003 e-mail: putxi(a)uib.es =========================================================================
