The Fourth IEEE LCN Workshop on
Network Security (WNS 2008)

http://wns.fgan.de

Montreal, Canada
October 17, 2008

to be held in conjunction with
the 33rd Annual IEEE Conference
on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2008),
October 14-17, 2008, Montreal, Canada

CALL FOR PAPER

The proliferation of commercial activities over different networked systems has
brought security concerns on an unprecedented scale. From traditional
Internet-based applications to newly emerging ubiquitous services over 3G,
Wireless LAN, and mobile ad hoc and sensor networks, there is an increasing
demand of measures to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of system services.

The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and
activities on network security. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy
between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are
interested in experimental, systems-related, and work-in-progress papers in all
aspects of network security.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Novel and emerging secure architecture
Study of attack strategies, attack modelling
Case studies and analysis of actual attacks
Continuity of Operations during an attack
Key management
Trust management
Intrusion detection techniques
Intrusion response, alarm management, and correlation analysis
Study of tradeoffs between security and system performance
Intrusion tolerance systems
Secure protocols
Security in wireless networks (e.g., ad hoc networks, sensor networks, WiMAX,
WPAN, etc.)
Battlefield wireless security solutions
Security issues in Software Defined Radios

Authors are invited to submit full papers for presentation at the workshop.
Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages, in IEEE TRANSACTION format) should
describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by
another conference, workshop, or journal. All accepted papers will appear in the
IEEE LCN conference proceedings. All paper submissions will be handled
electronically in EDAS. Manuscripts that are not compliant with the requirements
may be declined without review.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Paper submission deadline: May 17, 2008
Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2008
Camera-ready paper due: July 28, 2008
Author registration by: July 28, 2008
