Special Session "Security in Networked and Distributed Systems (SNDS 2012)"

http://www.comsec.spb.ru/snds12/

Special Session on "Security in Networked and Distributed Systems" aims to bring together researchers and practitioners involved in multiple disciplines concerning security in distributed systems to exchange ideas and to learn the latest developments in this important field. We will focus on issues related to network and distributed system security, such as authentication, access control, confidentiality, integrity, availability, privacy, dependability and sustainability of distributed systems.

Previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions to the theoretical and practical aspects of security in distributed systems are solicited for submission.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Adaptive security
• Applied cryptography
• Authentication, authorization and access control
• Computer and network forensics
• Data mining, machine learning, and bio-inspired approaches for security
• Deception systems and honeypots
• Denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures
• Digital rights management
• Embedded System Security
• Internet and web security
• Intrusion detection and prevention
• Malware
• Reputation based security
• Risk analysis and risk management
• Security and privacy in pervasive and ubiquitous computing
• Security evaluation
• Security for grid computing
• Security information and event management
• Security of emerging technologies (sensor, wireless, peer-to-peer networks)
• Security modeling and simulation
• Security policies
• Security protocols
• Software security
• Survivability
• Tamper resistance
• Trust management
• Trusted computing

Important dates

Submission guidelines

Papers should be submitted through the EasyChair conference submission system http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2012 with an indication of the name of the Special Session "Security in Networked and Distributed Systems (SNDS 2012)". Papers will undergo a blind peer review process.

Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 5000 words in length and including a 150-200 word abstract. To facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of the paper should contain only the title and abstract. Moreover, the names of the authors of the paper must not appear in citations in the reference section.

All accepted papers will be included in the volume, published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS).

The Final Paper Preparation and Submission Instructions will be published after the notification of acceptance.

Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and to present the paper at the Workshop.
