Call For Papers SEWCN 2009 : The First ICST International Workshop on Security in Emerging Wireless Communication and Networking Systems (http://sewcn.org) September 14, 2009, Athens, Greece In conjunction with SecureComm, 2009 *Sponsors Sponsored by ICST Technically co-sponsored by CREATE-NET *Scope Innovative wireless communication and networking systems have been proposed and studied in recent years, including cognitive radio networks, multi-channel multi-radio networks, cyber-physical systems, vehicle ad hoc networks, and others. The goal of this workshop is to develop and employ secure architectaures and protocols to enhance these emerging wireless systems. As these wireless systems have new features and serve new applications, they are raising new security concerns that existing security technologies may not be sufficient to tackle. Hence, these wireless systems require re-examination of current security techniques and creation of new security schemes. The design of these wireless systems also needs security as an integral part to prevent misuse of them and assure their functionality. This workshop particularly invites new ideas on security in the context of these emerging wireless communication and networking systems, including identifying new threats and new primitives for supporting secure system design. *Topics of Interest This workshop invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics on security in emerging wireless systems include, but are not limited to the following: Vulnerabilities and threats Cross-layer design for security Security of cognitive radio Security of channel management Resilient control over network Secure neighbor and location discovery Key management Intrusion detection and response User and data privacy Anti-jamming communication Denial of service *Important Dates Submission deadline : July 1, 2009 Notification date : July 27 Camera ready submission : Aug 3 *Paper Submission and Publishing Papers should be prepared according to the LNICST format. The style template and instructions are available at http://www.springer.com/computer?SGWID=0-146-6-564009-0. Submitted papers should not exceed 9 pages in single column and should be in PDF format. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors should not appear in the paper. Authours should submit papers to the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sewcn09. The proceeding of the workshop will be published with LNICST (Springer Lecture Notes of ICST) and distributed through an extensive global network of library consortia and appear on SpringerLink, one of the largest online scientific libraries, as well as the European Union Digital Library (EUDL), ICST's official digital library. *Workshop Chairs Qijun Gu, Texas State University-San Marcos, USA Wanyu Zang, Western Illinois University, USA *Technical Program Committee Abderrahim Benslimane, University of Avignon, France Raheem Beyah, Georgia State University, USA Ioannis Broustis, University of California, Riverside, USA Alvaro Cárdenas, University of California, Berkeley, USA Hakima Chaouchi, Institut Telecom, France Charles Clancy, Laboratory for Telecommunications Sciences, USA Sghaier Guizani, Qatar University, Qatar Wolfgang Hommel, Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Germany Jiankun Hu, RMIT University, Australia Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Frank Kargl, Ulm University, Germany Costas Lambrinoudakis, University of the Aegean, Greece Timothy Newman, Virginia Tech, USA Raphael Phan, Loughborough University, UK Elmar Schoch, Ulm University, Germany Gritzalis Stefanos, University of the Aegean, Greece Jay-Evan Tevis, LeTourneau University, USA Yang Xiang, Central Queensland University, Australia Meng Yu, Western Illinois University, USA Please direct any questions regarding the workshop to qijun@txstate.edu or W-Zang@wiu.edu
