Workshop on Security and Assurance in Ad hoc Networks

Held in conjunction with
The 2003 International Symposium on Applications and the Internet

Jan 28 2003
Orlando,Florida,USA

 

The Workshop


The Internet is becoming the engine and platform of choice for a diverse range of wireless and mobile applications. Driven by market demands, the Internet is required to be ubiquitous and pervasive; accessible and usable from any device and through any network, including wireless and mobile. This half day workshop aims at providing a forum for the discussion of security and assurance issues related to ad hoc networks as components of the Internet.

Papers


Technical papers describing original research are solicited. The workshop focuses on emerging Internet and Intranet applications that inter-operate in a wireless, unstructured communication environment. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

·         Security and fault tolerent issues in ad hoc networks

·         Secure routing in ad hoc networks

·         Applications of mobile agents and autonomous intelligent systems

·         Tradeoffs between efficiency and security in ad hoc networks

·         Bounds on efficiency in ad hoc networks

·         Security protocols for group applications in ad hoc networks

·         Self configuration in ad hoc networks

·         Location discovery and management

·         Timing and synchronization in ad hoc networks

·         Secure, distributed algorithms for ad hoc networks

Please consult the Workshop Chairs Alec Yasinsac (yasinsac@cs.fsu.edu) or Mike Burmester (burmester@cs.fsu.edu) if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop.
