Brief description:
The IEEE GLOBECOM 2008 Computer and Communications Network Security Symposium
(CCNS) will be held in New Orleans, USA, November 2008.
With the advent of pervasive computer applications and due to the proliferation
of heterogeneous wired and wireless computer networks, computer and network
security has become paramount. The Computer and Communications Network Security
Symposium will address all aspects of the modeling, design, implementation,
deployment, and management of computer/network security algorithms, protocols,
architectures, and systems. Furthermore, contributions devoted to the
evaluation, optimization, or enhancement of security mechanisms for current
technologies as well as devising efficient security and privacy solutions for
emerging technologies are solicited.
Original papers are invited in the area of computer and network security.
Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work.
Contributions in CCNS symposium target wired networks as well as wireless
networks:
3G/ 4G, Satellite, IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, Ad hoc, vehicular, Sensor and RFID
networks, WiMAX/ 802.16, 802.16e and Peer-to-peer systems.
