WESS'2007: http://netsys.ece.upatras.gr/emsoft07/ 2nd Workshop on Embedded Systems Security (a Workshop of ACM EMSOFT'2007) Salzburg, Austria, October 4, 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS Embedded computing systems are widely adopted in application areas ranging from safety-critical systems to vital information management. The inherent characteristics of embedded systems and the advent of Internet-enabled devices introduce a large number of security issues. Embedded systems are vulnerable to remote intrusion, power and timing attacks, hijacking, etc. These vulnerabilities are different from traditional workstation security issues due to the physical properties, applications, and performance limitations of embedded systems. This workshop provides a forum for researchers to present novel ideas on addressing security issues that arise in embedded systems. Of particular interest are security topics that are unique to embedded systems. Such topics include but are not limited to: * Security architectures for embedded systems * Security of Internet-enabled embedded systems * Security planning and provisioning in embedded systems * Power-related attacks and countermeasures * Timing-related attacks and countermeasures * Novel attacks and countermeasures * Security of sensor networks * Benchmarks for embedded system security * Case studies Accepted papers will be provided as proceedings to workshop participants. The best papers will be selected for publication in a special issue of the Springer Journal of Design Automation for Embedded Systems. Important Dates * Abstract registration: June 13, 2007 * Full paper submission: June 20, 2007 * Notification of results: July 30, 2007 * Camera-ready copy due: August 20, 2007 * ESWEEK: September 30 - October 5, 2007 For more information, please visit http://netsys.ece.upatras.gr/emsoft07/
