3rd IEEE International Workshop on Data Security and PrivAcy in wireless Networks

In conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2012

Monday, June 25, 2012, San Francisco, CA, USA

Submission website: http://edas.info/N11887

Welcome to D-SPAN 2012, the Third IEEE International Workshop on Data Security and PrivAcy in wireless Networks (D-SPAN). The workshop focuses on defining novel problems and developing novel techniques for data security and privacy issues in wireless and mobile networks. With the emergence of data-intensive wireless networks such as wireless sensor networks and data-centric mobile applications such as location-based services, the traditional boundaries between these three disciplines are blurring. This workshop solicits papers from two main categories: (1) papers that consider the security and privacy of data collection, transmission, storage, publishing, and sharing in wireless networks broadly defined, e.g., MANET, cellular, vehicular, ad hoc, cognitive, as well as sensor networks, and (2) papers that use data analytics techniques to address security and privacy problems in wireless networks. The workshop provides a venue for researchers to present new ideas with impact on three communities –wireless networks, databases, and security.

The list of topics includes, but not limited to,

• Location privacy in wireless networks

• Secure data collection and aggregation for wireless sensor networks

• Secure query processing over wireless sensor networks

• Secure and privacy-preserving data streaming

• Key exchange, distribution and management in wireless networks

• Secure data processing in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET)

• Secure data collection in body-area networks

• Throughput-security tradeoffs in wireless networks

Submission

Submission will be managed electronically through EDAS. The paper submission website is http://edas.info/N11887

 

We welcome original, unpublished manuscripts for 6-page papers inclusive of all references and figures. Papers should report completed results and must not be previously published elsewhere or currently under review for any other publication. Vision papers and descriptions of work-in-progress are also welcome as short paper submissions (4 pages).

  • Papers must be written in English, and formatted according to the WoWMoM Proceedings format.

  • Your submission must be in PDF format. Whatever text processor or formatter you use to write your paper (LaTeX, Microsoft Word, FrameMaker, etc.), please convert the output to PDF before submission.

  • Submission must be limited to 6 pages (short papers limited to 4 pages), single spacing, double column, and must STRICTLY adhere to the template format.

  • The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points.

  • We must be able to print your paper once it is submitted. Due to the large variety of systems available for formatting papers and producing PDF, this is not always possible for some systems. To maximize the chances that your paper will print correctly, please use only standard printer fonts (e.g., Times Roman, Helvetica, etc.) or standard TeX Computer Modern fonts; other fonts may be used but must be included in the PDF file. The use of standard printer fonts is strongly preferred over TeX fonts, if possible.

  • The paper must be able to print clearly on standard black-and-white printers. Reviewers are not required to view your paper in color.

  • Each accepted paper needs to have a registration to the workshop/conference (a no-show will result in exclusion of the corresponding paper from the IEEE Digital Library).

Please direct any questions regarding paper submission to d-span2012-chairs@edas.info
