Call for Papers

------------------

The move from an industrial economy to a knowledge economy has enabled
the growth

of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) globally. The low cost of
computer hardware

and peripherals, as well as the popularity of open source software and
wireless

networks has enabled SMEs to implement IT systems that were previously
only

available for large corporations. For example, SMEs in sectors such as
manufacturing,

transportation / logistics, application service provider (asp) and
retail stores all have an

online presence. Some of these SMEs have an integrated backend system
with their

online website. While these SMEs have used IT solutions to enhance their
business

processes, there is little information regarding the digital security
used in these

enterprises. The objective of this special session is to provide an
opportunity to meet

and share the current digital security practises among SMEs and to
propose state-ofthe-

art research ideas in the development of innovative security devices,
security

applications / packages and security policies that are cost effective,
easy to adopt and

implement in IT systems used in SMEs. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:

- High availability and fault tolerant systems

- Incident discovery and recovery

- Security models and risk management

- e-Enterprise / e-Commerce and e-Government

- Information and data security

- Trustworthiness and privacy

- Guidelines, policies and implementation

We are looking forward to receiving your paper.

Best regards,

Jaipal Singh
