They disappear!
by Otto Spaniol 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Dear all, you must have received the CfP for MEDHOCNET 2006 (Event number 6 in this series, Lipari, Italy, the first five events organised by TC6, in particular by WG 6.8 and 6.2). The CfP for number 65 doesn't mention TC 6 and IFIP at all. That is why I asked the organisor (Ozan Akan) about that; he was invited to submit an Event Request Form etc. (even if this request should be done by the chairpersons of WG 6.2 and 6.8 !). His answer was as follows: ----- I am not sure if this is an IFIP TC6 event as of now. I will contact to the Organization Committee of MedHocNet 2006, forward your request and will get back to you on this shortly. ----- This seems to be a certain trend. Our established series disappear or seem to disappear. Please tell me what we can (or should) do against such a trend. Best regards Otto

Many seminal papers and techniques were first presented at CSFW. We are interested in new theoretical results in computer security, but also in more exploratory presentations. Exploratory work may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories. Panel proposals are welcome as well as papers. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Authentication Access control Distributed systems Information flow Trust and trust security Security management Security for mobile protocols Security models computing Anonymity and Intrusion Executable content Privacy detection Decidability and Electronic voting Data and system complexity Network security integrity Formal methods for Resource usage Database security security control Language-based security This year's CSFW will be held in Venice. Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press will be available at the workshop, and selected papers will be invited for submission to the Journal of Computer Security. The CiteSeer Impact page (http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/impact.html, compiled in 2003) lists CSFW as 38th out of 1200 venues in impact (3.11%) based on citation frequency. Important Dates o Submit title and abstract: 30 January 2006 (The deadline for abstracts is strict.) o Submit full paper: 3 February 2006 (strict) o Submit panel proposal: 10 March 2006 o Notification of acceptance: 20 March 2006 o Camera-ready papers: 11 April 2006 o Workshop: 5--7 July 2006 Program Committee Michael Backes, IBM Research Alan Jeffrey, Bell Labs David Basin, ETH Zurich Gavin Lowe, Oxford Bruno Blanchet, ENS Jonathan Millen, MITRE Gérard Boudol, INRIA John Mitchell, Stanford Ran Canetti, IBM Research Andrew Myers, Cornell Véronique Cortier, LORIA Michael Rusinowitch, LORIA Pierpaolo Degano, Pisa Mark Ryan, Birmingham Sandro Etalle, Twente Andrei Sabelfeld, Chalmers Riccardo Focardi, Venice Andre Scedrov, Pennsylvania Andrew Gordon, Microsoft Research Steve Schneider, Surrey Joshua Guttman, MITRE (Chair) Vitaly Shmatikov, Texas Matthew Hennessy, Sussex Lenore Zuck, Illinois/Chicago Workshop Location The 19th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop will be held in the facilities of Venice International University, located on the island of San Servolo, about 10 minutes by water ferry from the Piazza San Marco. This year's workshop will be held a few days earlier than ICALP (http://icalp06.dsi.unive.it/), in the same location. Instructions for Participants Although submission is open to anyone, attendance is by invitation. All authors of accepted papers are invited to attend, and authors are required to ensure that at least one will be present. This year's meeting location will allow us to invite more participants than previous years. ICALP attendees or other scholars who would like to attend CSFW are encouraged to contact the General Chair, Riccardo Focardi, about invitations. Submission Instructions Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with published proceedings. Papers should be submitted in Postscript or Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers submitted in a proprietary word processor format such as Microsoft Word cannot be considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required to attend CSFW-19 to present the paper. Papers may be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style available for various document preparation systems at IEEE-CS Press. Papers in this style should be at most 12 pages long, not counting bibliography and well-marked appendices. Alternatively, papers can be in Springer LLNCS style. In LLNCS style papers must be at most 20 pages long excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the paper must be intelligible without them. Papers not adhering to the page limits will be rejected without consideration of their merits. The paper submission website will be open in January 2006. Proposals for panels are also welcome. They should be no more than five pages in length and should include possible panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed a desire to participate. They should be submitted be email to the program chair by 10 March 2006. A session of five-minute talks was successful last year, so we will have one again this year. Abstracts will be solicited in May. There are PDF and HTML versions of this call for papers at http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/guttman/csfw19-cfp.html.

20 Dec '05

We apologize in advance for the multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************ PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS MED HOC NET 2006 The Fifth Annual MEDITERRANEAN AD HOC NETWORKING Workshop http://www.medhoc.diit.unict.it/2006/ June 14-17 2006 Lipari, Italy ************************************************************ Ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research community in the last several years. Now that some of the fundamental issues and challenges of ad hoc networking have been clearly assessed, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.), autonomous Organization and operation, optimization and control, service creation and support, middleware. Moreover, wireless MESH networking is emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off" aimed at extending and integrating the multi-hop paradigm with more traditional networking, which poses new and exciting technical challenges. Med-Hoc-Net 2006 is the major annual international workshop aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry from all over the world. Sharing ideas, views, results, and experiences in the field of wireless multi-hop networking is what Med-Hoc-Net 2006 intends to be about. Anything from theoretical and experimental achievements, to innovative ad hoc systems, prototyping efforts, and case studies is of interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community. The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2006 cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc and MESH networks, including but not limited to: - Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures - Routing algorithms and protocols - MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio resource sharing - Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks - Middleware for ad hoc networks - Application driven architectures and protocols - Sensor network applications and protocols - Vehicular networks - Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks - Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes - Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, etc.) - Self organization and network reconfiguration - Optimization models and algorithms - Resource and service discovery - Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc networks - Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.) - QoS support - Security and privacy The members of program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
