Final CFP: FCS-ARSPA'06 (Workshop on Foundations of Computer Security and Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis)

apologies for multiple copies ****************************************** *** NEW: post-workshop Special Issue *** *** of Information and Computatation *** *** *** *** Submission page open *** ****************************************** ************************ **** **** **** FCS-ARSPA'06 **** **** **** ************************ A LICS'06 (and FLoC'06) Affiliated Workshop on FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SECURITY and AUTOMATED REASONING FOR SECURITY PROTOCOL ANALYSIS Seattle, Washington, August 15-16, 2006 http://www.inf.ethz.ch/~vigano/fcs-arspa06 *********************** *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** *********************** Submission deadline: May 10, 2006 BACKGROUND, AIM AND SCOPE ========================= Computer security is an established field of computer science of both theoretical and practical significance. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in logic-based foundations for various methods in computer security, including the formal specification, analysis and design of security protocols and their applications, the formal definition of various aspects of security such as access control mechanisms, mobile code security and denial-of-service attacks, and the modeling of information flow and its application to confidentiality policies, system composition, and covert channel analysis. The workshop FCS-ARSPA'06 is the fusion of two workshops. The workshop FCS continues a tradition, initiated with the Workshops on Formal Methods and Security Protocols (FMSP) in 1998 and 1999, then with the Workshop on Formal Methods and Computer Security (FMCS) in 2000, and finally with the LICS satellite Workshop on Foundations of Computer Security (FCS) in 2002 through 2005, of bringing together formal methods and the security community. The ARSPA workshop is the third in a series of workshops on Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis, bringing together researchers and practitioners from both the security and the formal methods communities, from academia and industry, who are working on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security protocols. The first two ARSPA workshops were held as satellite events of IJCAR'04 and of ICALP'05, respectively. The aim of the joint workshop FCS-ARSPA'06 is to provide a forum for continued activity in these areas, to bring computer security researchers in closer contact with the LICS community, and to give LICS attendees an opportunity to talk to experts in computer security. We thus solicit submissions of papers both on mature work and on work in progress. We are interested both in new results in theories of computer security and also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories, as well as in new results on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security protocols. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Automated reasoning techniques Access control and resource usage control Composition issues Authentication Formal specification Availability and denial of service Foundations of verification Covert channels Information flow analysis Confidentiality Language-based security Integrity and privacy Logic-based design for Intrusion detection Program transformation Malicious code Security models Mobile code Static analysis Mutual distrust Statistical methods Privacy Tools Security policies Trust management Security protocols All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. SUBMISSION ========== Submissions should be at most 15 pages (a4paper, 11pt), including references, in the Springer LNCS style available at the URL http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html The cover page should include title, names of authors, co-ordinates of the corresponding author, an abstract, and a list of keywords. It is recommended that submissions adhere to the specified format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately. Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication in the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit. Simultaneous submissions to a journal or another conference are accepted. Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically, as portable document format (pdf) or postscript (ps); please, do not send files formatted for work processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or Wordperfect files). The only mechanism for paper submissions is via the electronic submission web-site. IMPORTANT DATES =============== Papers due: May 10, 2006 Notification of acceptance: June 16, 2006 Final paper versions due: July 14, 2006 Workshop: August 15-16, 2006 PUBLICATION =========== Informal proceedings will be made available in electronic format and they will be distributed to all participants of the workshop. Moreover, workshop participants will be invited to submit full versions of their papers to a special issue of Information and Computation, which will be open also to non-participants, in all cases with fresh reviewing.

6th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems DAIS 2006 "From service-oriented architectures to self-managing applications" Bologna, Italy June 13-16, 2006 http://www.discotec06.cs.unibo.it/DAIS06/ To be held in conjunction with FMOODS 2006 and Coordination 2006 http://discotec06.cs.unibo.it ABOUT THE CONFERENCE ==================== The conference program presents the state of the art in research concerning distributed and interoperable systems. In recent years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical and widely-known footing in everyday computing. Use of new communication technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented architectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dynamicity of distribution constellations. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS 2006 focuses on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards service orientation and self-* properties. The papers to be presented at DAIS 2006 cover methodological aspects, tools and language of building adaptable distributed and interoperable services, fault tolerance and dependability, peer-to-peer systems, mobility issues, web services applications and performance issues and composition, semantic web and semantic integration, and context- and location-aware applications. This year, the technical program of DAIS drew from 99 submitted papers, among which 10 were explicitly submitted as work-in-progress papers. From these, 21 regular and 5 work-in-progress papers were selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The DAIS 2006 conference is sponsored by IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) and it was the sixth conference in the DAIS series of events organized by IFIP Working Group 6.1.

============================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ============================== ========================================= IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems June 18 - 20, 2006 San Francisco, California, USA ========================================= WWW.DCOSS.ORG The 2006 International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '06) will take place in San Francisco during June 18 - 20, 2006. DCOSS '06 will represent a merger of the DCOSS conference series and the IEEE International Workshops on Algorithms for Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (WMAN). The first DCOSS conference, held at Marina del Rey on June 30-July 1, 2005, featured high quality research papers and interesting invited and contributed poster/presentation sessions. DCOSS '06 is intended to cover several aspects of distributed computing in sensor systems such as high level abstractions, computational models, systematic design methodologies, algorithms, analysis and applications. The conference will be co-located with several closely related workshops, and will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to the above high-level aspects of distributed sensor systems. In addition to contributed papers, the meeting will also include keynote addresses by leading researchers, a panel discussion, and a poster/presentation session.
