[ACT-R-users] RE: CFP: Workshop on Information Assurance (WIA 2006)

[James Joshi]

Workshop on Information Assurance (WIA 2006)


In conjunction with the 25th IEEE International Performance Computing and
Communications Conference (IPCCC) http://ipccc.org/ 
Phoenix, Arizona, April 10-12, 2006

 

Extended Deadline; December 6, 2005 

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Carl E. Landwehr, Program Manager, Advanced Research
and Development Agency

 

Scope: Information Assurance (IA) is defined as the operations undertaken to
protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their
availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and
non-repudiation.  Availability implies that networks and systems must be
survivable and fault tolerant - they should possess redundancies to operate
under failures or security breaches. For example, networks should be
designed with sufficient spare and working capacity, efficient traffic
restoration protocols, alarms and network management. Security encompasses
the other aspects of IA, namely integrity, access-control, authentication,
confidentiality and non-repudiation as they apply to both networks and
systems. The increasing reliance of business-to-business and
business-to-consumer applications on networked information systems
dramatically magnifies the consequence of damages resulting from even simple
system faults and intrusions, making the task of assuring confidentiality,
availability and integrity of information difficult. Although several
piecemeal solutions address concerns related to the security and fault
tolerance of various components of such networked information systems, there
is a growing need to leverage the synergy between security and survivability
to provide a higher level of information assurance in the face of faults and
attacks. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental,
systems-related and work in-progress in the area of Information Assurance at
the network and system levels. We expect to have three types of sessions -
the first related to survivability and fault tolerance, the second related
to security, and the third related to the interactions between security and
survivability. Papers should describe original, previously unpublished work,
not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.
Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference
proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

 

 

Authorization and access-control
Web services security

Database and system security
Risk analysis and security management
Security verification/validation 

Wireless LAN Security
Network Restoration techniques 

Network Reliability/Availability 

Digital Rights Management 

DoS protection for the Internet
Cryptographic protocols and Key management 

Intrusion Detection Techniques 

Ad hoc sensor network security
Models and architectures for systems security and survivability 

Security and survivability in optical networks
E/M-commerce security and survivability architectures 

Public policy issues for security and survivability

 

Instructions for authors: Papers reporting original and unpublished research
results on the above and related topics are solicited. All submitted papers
will be refereed for quality, originality and relevance by the Program
Committee. The acceptance/rejection of the papers will be based on the
review results. All questions should be addressed to the PC co-chairs.
Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically. An electronic
version (PDF format) of the paper should be submitted by November 22, 2005
to the workshop website. Manuscripts should be in English and must not
exceed 8 pages (IEEE format) for regular papers and 4 pages (IEEE format)
for short papers. Short papers will be included for presentation in a poster
session. A cover page must include a title, descriptive keywords, all
author's names, complete mailing addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail
addresses and an abstract of up to 150 words. Both regular and short papers
accepted for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference
proceedings. For any further information, please check the workshop web page
at http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~lersais/WIA2006/ or send e-mail to one of the
program co-chairs. Inviting selected papers for an edited book is being
planned
