Maui, Hawaii, July 31, 2011 or August 4 (TBD), 2011
The First International Workshop on Privacy, Security and Trust in
Mobile and Wireless Systems (MobiPST 2011) will be held in conjunction
with the 20th International Conference on Computer Communications and
Networks (ICCCN 2011), in Maui, Hawaii, USA. All papers presented in
MobiPST 2011 will be published in the workshop proceedings.
Outstanding papers will be invited to extend to full version for a
prestigious journal (SCI(E)-indexed).
Recently, mobile wireless devices, such as wireless sensors, smart
tags, smart pads, tablets, PDAs and smart phones, have become
pervasive and attracted significant interest from academia, industry,
and standard organizations. With the latest cloud computing
technology, those mobile wireless devices will play a more and more
important role in computing and communication. When those devices
become pervasive, security, privacy and trust become critical
components for the acceptance of applications build based on those
devices. Moreover, several favorable characteristics of mobile and
wireless devices, including portability, mobility, and sensitivity,
further impose the challenge of security and privacy in those
systems. Despite recent advances, many research issues still remain in
the design of secure, privacy-preserving, or trust architectures,
protocols, algorithms, services, and applications on mobile and
wireless systems. For example, when mobile devices have more storage
space, high bandwidth, and super sensing capability, more sensitive
information will be stored in those devices. On the other hand,
operating systems running on those devices are not as powerful and
reliable as those on traditional computers. Both OS layer and
higher-level layer protocols are expected to enhance the security and
preserve the privacy of those devices. With more mobile devices being
used in social networks and traditional web-based systems, novel trust
models are essential for new applications. New cryptographic
algorithms, key distribution schemes and access control policies are
also encouraged by considering the special characteristics of mobile
and wireless devices. Other issues such as malware, cyber threat,
intrusion detection, attack modeling, security analysis, identity
management and anonymity techniques also need to be revisited in
mobile and wireless systems.
This workshop aims to bring together the technologists and researchers
who share interest in the area of security, privacy and trust in
mobile and wireless systems, as well as explore new venues of
collaboration. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research
and relevant activities in the models and designs of secure,
privacy-preserving, or trust architectures, protocols, algorithms,
services, and applications, as well as analysis on cyber threat in
mobile and wireless systems. It also aims at increasing the synergy
between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We
plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental research,
and work in-progress for security, privacy and trust related issues in
the context of mobile and wireless systems that include, but are not
limited to, the following
Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Mesh Networks
Wireless Ad-hoc Networks
Vehicular Networks
Body-area Networks
Cellular Networks
Home Networks
Social Networks
Smart Grid
RFID-based Systems
Mobile Cloud
Cyber-Physical Systems
Internet of Things
Location-based Service Systems
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original
unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to
the workshop. Submissions should include an abstract, the e-mail
address of the corresponding author. The length of the papers should
be limited to 6 pages in standard IEEE camera-ready format
(double-column, 10-pt font). Submission via EDAS at
http://edas.info//N10077. Submission of a paper should be regarded as
an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the
authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work.
All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to
the authors. All accepted papers will be published in workshop
proceedings. Outstanding papers will be invited to extend to full
version for a prestigious journal (SCI(E)-indexed), which is targeting
publication in early 2012.
