Theme and Scope
Wireless networks have experienced an explosive growth during the last few years. Nowadays, there is a large variety of networks spanning from the well-known cellular networks to non-infrastructure wireless networks such as mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. Security issue is a central concern for achieving secured communication in these networks.
This one day workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from wireless and sensor networking, security, cryptography, and distributed computing communities, with the goals of promoting discussions and collaborations. We are interested in novel research on all aspects of security in wireless and sensor networks and tradeoff between security and performance such as QoS, dependability, scalability, etc.
Topics of interest
We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of secured wireless/sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Authentication and Access Control
- Cryptographic Protocol
- Experimental Studies
- Key Management
- Information Hiding
- Intrusion Detection and Response
- Privacy and Anonymity
- Secure Localization and Synchronization
- Security and Performance Tradeoff
- Security Policy and Enforcement Issues
- Security Protocols Design, Analysis and Verification
- Secure Routing/MAC
- Surveillance and Monitoring
- Trust Management
Paper Submission
Submit a full paper of about 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society proceedings Manuscripts: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Each submitted paper will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS 2007 workshops.
Use the IEEE Transactions LaTeX and Microsoft Word Style (http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html). Prepare your papers in PDF file only (Adobe format), paper title, names, affiliations, postal address, and e-mail address of the authors, about 200-250 word abstract, and at most five keywords.
Please submit your paper to EDAS. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work.
Following the convention of past MASS conferences, there will be NO workshop-only or workshop-specific registration. The basic conference registration will include the ability to attend any and all workshops. Moreover, as per standard policy, each workshop paper will need to have at least one author register at the FULL conference rate. Moreover, ALL papers in any MASS workshop will be included in the main proceedings and published by the IEEE.
