CFP LOCAN 2006: 2nd Int'l Workshop on Localized Communications and Topology Control for Ad Hoc Networks
by Pedro M. Ruiz 22 May '06

22 May '06

Our apologies for duplicate postings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 19, 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 - Quality of Protection Workshop - Security Measurements and Metrics
by qop-submission 19 May '06

19 May '06

(* Apologies for multiple copies *) ===================================================================== Call for Paper for the 2nd International Workshop on QUALITY of PROTECTION - QoP 2006 Security Measurements and Metrics http://dit.unitn.it/~qop/ Mon. Oct. 30 - Alexandria VA, USA Affiliated with 13th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security. http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigsac/ccs/CCS2006/ ======================================================================= WORKSHOP OVERVIEW Information Security in Industry has matured in the last few decades. Standards such as ISO17799, the Common Criteria, a number of industrial certification and risk analysis methodologies have raised the bar on what is considered a good security solution from a business perspective. Yet, if we compare Information Security with Networking or Empirical Software Engineering we find a major difference. Networking research has introduced concepts such as Quality of Service and Service Level Agreements. Conferences and Journals are frequently devoted to performance evaluation, QoS and SLAs. Empirical Software Engineering has made similar advances. Notions such as software metrics and measurements are well established. Processes to measure the quality and reliability of software exist and are appreciated in industry. Security looks different. Even a fairly sophisticated standard such as ISO17799 has an intrinsically qualitative nature. Notions such as Security Metrics, Quality of Protection (QoP) or Protection Level Agreement (PLA) have surfaced in the literature but still have a qualitative flavour. The "QoP field" in WS-Security is just a data field to specify a cryptographic algorithm. Indeed, neither ISO17799 nor ISO15408 (the Common Criteria) addresses QoP sufficiently. ISO17799 is a management standard, not directly concerned with the actual quality of protection achieved; ISO15408 is instead a product assessment standard and yet does not answer the question of how a user of a product assessed by it can achieve a high QoP within his/her operational environment. Both standards cover just one aspect of an effective QoP and even the combination of both would not address the aspect sufficiently. "Best practice" standards, such as the baseline protection standard published by many government agencies, also belong to the category of standards that are useful, but not sufficient, for achieving a good QoP. Security is different also in another respect. A very large proportion of recorded security incidents has a non-IT cause. Hence, while the networking and software communities may concentrate on technical features (networks and software), security requires a much wider notion of "system", including users, work processes, organisational structures in addition to the IT infrastructure. The QoP Workshop intends to discuss how security research can progress towards a notion of Quality of Protection in Security comparable to the notion of Quality of Service in Networking, Software Reliability, or Software Measurements and Metrics in Empirical Software Engineering. The 1st QoP workshop was held in Milano in September 2005 and was affiliated with the 10th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2005) and the 11th IEEE International Software Metrics Symposium (METRICS 2005). The revised proceedings of the workshop are going to appear in the Kluwer (now Springer) Applied Security Series. SUBMISSION TOPICS: Original submissions are solicited from industry and academic experts to presents their work, plans and views related to Quality of Protection. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Industrial Experience * Security Risk Analysis * Security Quality Assurance * Measurement-based decision making and risk management * Empirical assessment of security architectures and solutions * Mining data from attacks and vulnerabilities repositories * Security metrics * Measurement theory and formal theories of security metrics * Security measurement and monitoring, * Experimental verification and validation of models, * Simulation and statistical analysis, stochastic modeling * Reliability analysis IMPORTANT DATES: - Mon 12 June - Paper submissions - Fri 14 July - Authors' notification - Mon 19 August - Camera ready paper due - Oct. 30 - Nov 3 - ACM CCS and QoP Workshop PAPER SUBMISSION: Original RESEARCH PAPERS are solicited in any of the above mentioned topics describing significant research results based on sound theory or experimental assessment. Preliminary research results can be submitted in the form of SHORT PAPERS. We also solicit INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE REPORTS about the use of security measurements and metrics in industrial environments. Industry papers should have at least one author from industry or government, and will be considered for their industrial relevance. Industry and Research papers should be limited to 6 pages in the standard ACM conference format. Short Papers should be limited to 3 pages. PUBLICATION: Authors of accepted papers will be expected to give full presentations at the workshop. The proceedings of the workshop will be published by ACM.
