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

The Sixth International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for
Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness (QShine 2009) will focus on the research challenges associated to the design and implementation of large-scale wired and wireless networks and distributed systems. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and share the latest results in the areas of performance,configuration, cross-layer approaches, scalability, resilience and survivability of large scale heterogeneous networks and distributed systems. Following the tradition of the previous QShine meetings, QShine 2009 will feature prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field.

Original papers addressing performance optimization and Quality of Service support, ranging from the link layer to the application layer, over large-scale wired and wireless networks and distributed system, are
solicited. Authors are encouraged to submit theoretical and/or
experimental results of significance. The scope of the conference
includes, but is not limited to:

* Quality of Service provisioning in wired and wireless networks and distributed systems
* Design, implementation or architectures related to QoS-enabled
networks and distributed systems
* QoS routing in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks
and distributed systems

[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Recent Advances in Network Security Attacks and Defences (IJIPT)

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
Special Issue on Recent Advances in Network Security Attacks and Defences
International Journal of Internet Protocol Technology (IJIPT)
(Indexed by ACM, Scopus, and others)

Note: IJIPT is applying for inclusion in Thomson Scientific SCI-E index.
Inclusion will be finalized before the end of 2009.

http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=1131

Over the past few years, network security attacks have become more
easy-to-use, stealth, sophisticated, and powerful with techniques to bypass,
subvert and even target today's security defences such as firewalls,
intrusion detection/prevention systems, and antivirus software. A plethora
of research has been devoted into designing and devising more effective,
intelligent, adaptive and active defence systems and mechanisms. This
special issue strives to foster state-of-the-art research pertaining to
recent advances in the area of security attacks and defences related to
computer networks. The issue focuses on bringing forth recent and novel
research work geared towards identifying and detecting today's security
attacks, and designing best defences and countermeasures to achieve more
secure networks, protocols, systems, and applications.

Subject Coverage
------------------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Distributed attack systems and mechanisms
- Botnet and Rootkit attacks and defences
- Modern web attacks
- Analysis of new attack vectors and attack surfaces
- Firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems
- Intelligent defence systems
- Active and adaptive defence systems
- Novel and emerging secure architecture
- Bio-inspired security defences
- Implementation, deployment and management of security systems
- Tradeoffs between security and system performance
- Threat modelling and secure software systems

Important Dates
-----------------
Full Manuscript Due: 1 June, 2009

* Instructions for paper submission
The Workshop welcomes original papers from academic, government, and
industry contributors dealing with the above or related issues. Papers
which describe ongoing research or provide an excellent surveying work
are welcome too. All submissions will be subjected to a thorough a blind
review by at least three reviewers.

The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgments, or obvious references. It should begin with a title, a
short abstract, and a list of key words, and its introduction should
summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a
non-specialist reader. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk
rejection without consideration of their merits.

As for all previous EuroPKI events, it is planned that accepted papers
are published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series. Therefore we require that submissions follow the LNCS
guidelines (see http://www.springeronline.com/lncs) with a total page
limit of 16 pages including references and appendices. Up to 6 pages of
additional supporting information may be provided, but committee members
will read this information at their discretion, so the paper should be
intelligible and self-contained within the 16 page LNCS limit.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the
authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any
other conference or workshop with formally published proceedings.
Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of other
conferences for that purpose. Accepted submissions may not appear in any
other conference or workshop with proceedings.

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format. A detailed
description of the electronic submission procedure will be available at
http://www.iit.cnr.it/EUROPKI09
Submissions must conform to this procedure. Late submissions and
non-electronic submissions will not be considered. Authors of accepted
papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.

* Important dates
Submission of papers: June 1, 2009
Notification to authors: July 15, 2009
Camera-ready copies: August 10, 2009

* Programme Committee co-Chairs
