Second IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in
Sensor Networks and Systems
(DSSNS'2006)
http://www.dssns.org
In conjunction with
2nd NASA/IEEE Systems and Software Week
30th NASA/IEEE Software Engineering Workshop (SEW'2006)
Columbia, Maryland, USA ~ April 24-28, 2006
Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential use
of networked sensors in applications such as smart environments,
disaster management, combat field reconnaissance, and security
surveillance. While the initial view of the community was that
networked sensors will play a complementary role that enhances
the quality of these applications, recent research results have
encouraged practitioners to envision an increased reliance on sensor
networks and systems (SN&S) in such critical and sensitive
applications. Therefore to realize their potential, necessary
dependability and security (D&S) measures have to be
incorporated in the design and during the operation of SN&S.
Dependability is usually specified using attributes like reliability,
survivability, safety, maintainability, and availability in presence
of failure, while security is specified by attributes like integrity,
authenticity, confidentiality, and availability in presence of
attacks. D&S services accomplish tasks for attack and
failure prevention, detection and response. The scope of D&S
services may span the deployed sensors to command nodes
and likely beyond. It also involves D&S support at, and
cross-cutting, the protocol stack layers from physical to
application.
Achieving dependability and security in SN&S will require
non-conventional mechanisms due to many factors including:
(1) sensors are significantly constrained in the amount of
available resources such as energy, storage and computation;
(2) sensors are expected to be deployed in very large numbers
in normal as well as harsh/hostile environments; (3) sensor
networks suffer from structural weakness and limited physical
protection, and (4) localization of impact is complicated due
to the un-tethered nature of SN&S and of the potential
attackers. In addition, D&S requirements may vary according
to mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such
as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of
application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, data collection), mode
of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery),
and time.
This workshop will foster a forum for discussing and presenting
recent research results on dependability and security in SN&S.
Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following:
- Fault and intrusion-tolerant architectures, middleware and operational
models
- Robust routing, storage, and processing of sensed data
- D&S architectures, protocols and tools
- Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures
- Monitoring and evaluation techniques
- Robust clustering techniques
- Self-awareness and context-awareness
- Resilient virtual infrastructures
- Autonomic and adaptive D&S support.
- Formal representation and verification of D&S properties
- Network inference support for D&S
- Quality of service provisioning
- Models, metrics, and measurements for D&S
- Privacy-aware D&S services
- Testbeds, simulation and visualization
- Agent-based D&S management
- SN&S support for D&S in larger information grids
- SN&S application development environments

Betreff: Publisher's Rationale for IFIP LNCS/ LNCS costs
Gesendet: Montag, 31. Oktober 2005 11:09 Uhr

Dear All:
To follow up on the IFIP Publications Committee Meeting, I have
delineated several points in the rationale for IFIP LNCS series pricing
below:
1. SpringerHD/LNCS is selling its product at high discounts - up to 64%
off list prices. For large bulk sales of proceedings with a page count
exceeding 800 pages or occupying two volumes, the discounts increase
considerably.
2. IFIP LNCS projects cause a substantial amount of additional effort
during the entire cycle of project administration at the LNCS editorial
office, as well as in the overall society cooperation, than regular LNCS
projects.
3. Due to IFIP copyright policy, etc., IFIP LNCS proceedings also
require significantly more effort at the pre-production and production
work level.
4. The publication fee paid for IFIP LNCS proceedings to IFIP is paid as
an up-front payment which has to be pre-financed by Springer.
I hope that the above helps explain the necessity of a price discrepancy
between the IFIP LNCS series and the regular LNCS series. Please let me
know if you have any questions
Best regards,
Jennifer

Dear all,
please find enclosed the preliminary agenda for meeting 2005/2
as well as the actual attendance list.
The deadline for submission of material into the meeting documents
is over. We have only reports from WG 6.4, 6.8, 6.11.
Any other document should be copied (30 times) by the respective producer
and brought to Wroclaw. There will be an incredible confusion of loose
pages (what we intended to stop) but as long as the reactions
of WG chairs are so "timely" as in this particular case
there will be no improvement.
Best regards and see many of you soon

The Third IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2006)
May 30-31, 2006
Maxwell Dworkin Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/emnets/
The Third Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2006) will
focus on groundbreaking research in wireless sensor systems with an
emphasis on three topic areas: (1) Emerging research directions for
sensor networks; (2) Application experiences; and (3) Early results
from new research efforts. In keeping with the focused workshop
format, EmNets encourages submissions that present exciting new work,
challenge conventional ideas, propose new research directions,
evaluate real-world applications and deployments, and generate
controversy. We especially welcome papers reporting on highly original
or risky research, position papers, and reports on application
experiences and deployments, which may not otherwise be published as
full conference papers.
We specifically discourage submissions that are short versions of
papers that will be submitted to other conferences in the near future,
since our goal is to engage the research community in a discussion of
future challenges and issues for sensor networks. EmNets 2006 is
supported in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (pending).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-New application domains for sensor networks
-Sensor network architecture and protocols
-Applications, testbeds, and real-world deployment experiences
-Distributed algorithms and computation
-Operating systems and network programming paradigms
-Management, debugging, troubleshooting, and measurement tools
-Data storage issues
-Transport and dissemination
-Distributed actuation and control
-Fault tolerance and reliability
-Security, vulnerabilities, and defenses
-Architectural insight, analysis and fundamental limits
Submissions:
Please submit position papers or short papers describing early
research results. Submitted papers should be no longer than five
two-column pages, including all figures and references, using 10-point
fonts, standard spacing, and 1-inch margins. For detailed submission
information see the workshop website.
