CALL FOR PAPERS
The Fourth ACM Workshop on Security of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (SASN
2006)
http://www.cse.psu.edu/~szhu/SASN2006/
October 30, 2005, Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, Alexandria, VA, USA
Held in conjunction with the 13th ACM Conference on Computer and
Communications Security (CCS '06).
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigsac/ccs/CCS2006/
Sponsored by the Army Research Office (ARO)
--------------------------------------------------
Topics:
Ad hoc and sensor networks are expected to become an integral part of the
future computing landscape.
However, these networks introduce new security challenges due to their
dynamic topology, severe resource constraints,
and absence of a trusted infrastructure. SASN 2006 seeks submissions from
academia and industry presenting novel research
on all aspects of security for ad hoc and sensor networks, as well as
experimental studies of fielded systems. This
one-day workshop builds on the success of SASN 2003, SASN 2004, and SASN
2005.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following as they
relate to mobile ad hoc networks or sensor networks:
Security under resource constraints (e.g., energy, bandwidth, memory, and
computation constraints)
Performance and security tradeoffs
Secure roaming across administrative domains
Key management
Cryptographic Protocols
Authentication and access control
Trust establishment, negotiation, and management
Intrusion detection and tolerance
Secure location services
Secure clock distribution
Privacy and anonymity
Secure routing
Secure MAC protocols
Denial of service
Prevention of traffic analysis
--------------------------------------------------
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 proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the
bibliography and well-marked appendices, using at least 11-point font
and reasonable margins on US letter-size paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch).
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so
submissions should be intelligible without them. Each submission should
start with the title, abstract, and names and contact information of
authors.
The introduction should give background and summarize the contributions of
the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader.
All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Only pdf or
postscript files will be accepted. Submission size should ideally
be less than 1MB and no more than 2MB. Authors who have difficulty with the
2MB size limit should inform the program co-chairs.
Papers must be received by the deadline of June 23, 2006.
Conference proceedings will be published by the ACM and made available at
the workshop. Authors of accepted papers must
guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop.
