CALL FOR PAPERS
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
resourceconstraints, and absence of a trusted infrastructure.
SASN 2004 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 the first SASN workshop held in Fairfax, VA (http://www.cs.gmu.edu/sasn/2003).
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
- 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. Papers must
be submitted in PDF or portable PostScript format and must be received
by the deadline of July 9, 2004. Instructions for electronic
submission of papers will be posted at: http://www.cs.gmu.edu/sasn/submissions.html
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.
