Workshop on Wireless Cooperative Network Security (WCNS 2011), May 13, 2011, Valencia, Spain (in conjunction with IFIP Networking 2011) Web page: http://www.networking2011.org/workshops/WCNS.html CALL FOR PAPERS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aim and Scope: Wireless Cooperative Network is a highly promising communications paradigm that will play an essential role in the next generation of wireless mobile networks since they can substantially improve communication capability. The cooperation among nodes allows a distributed space-time signal processing which enables environmental monitoring, localization techniques, distributed measurements, and others, with a reduced complexity or energy consumption per node. Cooperative networks include among other, sensor networks, mesh networks and cognitive radio networks. This new paradigm implies new and very interesting security challenges. The Workshop on Wireless Cooperative Network Security (WCNS) is the 1st workshop specifically devoted to security issues in these new scenarios. It will take place co-located with the IFIP Networking 2011 conference and sponsored by the IFIP Technical Committee on Communication Systems (TC6). The main objective of WCNS 2011 is to bring together major experts in the area from both academia and industry, hence presentations will be invitation only. Additionally, researchers who are not invited but are interested in having a presentation at the Workshop should contact the organizers providing specific details of the originality of the proposed research contribution to the event. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop topics: - Access Control Policies and Permissions - Attacks and Countermeasures - Authentication - Cooperation and prevention of non-cooperative behavior - Cross-layer Design for Security - Cryptographic Protocols and cryptographic primitives - Denial of Service (DoS) - Key Management - Identity theft and phishing in mobile networks - Intrusion Detection and Response - Jamming/Anti-jamming communication - Malicious Behavior Detection and Analysis - Monitoring and surveillance - Privacy and Anonymity - Secure Localization and Synchronization - Security and thread models for cooperative networks and infrastructures - Secure deployment of cooperative network applications - Security and Performance tradeoff - Security in Cognitive Radio and Sensor-Based Applications - Security Policy and Enforcement Issues - Security Protocols Analysis, Design, and Proof - Secure Routing/MAC - Surveillance and Monitoring - Trusted Computing in cooperative networks - Trust Establishment and Management ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Important Dates: Deadline for contacting organizers: December 23, 2010 Paper Submission: January 10, 2011 Acceptance Notification: February 10, 2011 Camera ready due: March 1, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Guidelines for Submission: Presentations will be invitation only. However, researchers who are not invited but are interested in having a presentation at the Workshop should contact the organizers providing specific details of the originality of the proposed research contribution to the event. All papers will be peer reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, LNCS published by Springer-Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Papers must be written in English and should follow the instructions in the Springer template file available in both LaTeX and Microsoft Word format. The first page should include paper title, an abstract of about 150 words,3-5 keywords indicating the paper topic area and symposium, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal addresses. Maximum paper length is 8 printed pages (10-point font). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Organizing Committee -Workshop Chairs - Miguel Soriano, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain Contact: [email protected] - Javier López, Universidad de Málaga, Spain Contact: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ****************************************** Carlos Calafate, PhD IFIP Networking 2011 Publicity Chair Computer Networks Group (GRC) Technical University of Valencia, Spain Voice: +34 96 387 7007 ext. 75727 Fax: +34 96 387 7579 E-mail: [email protected] ******************************************
