               CALL FOR PAPERS

          The Fifth IEEE International Workshop on 
          Wireless and Sensor Networks Security (WSNS'09)
          October 12th, 2009 

          www.cs.wcupa.edu/~zjiang/wsns09.htm   
  
          held in conjunction with 
          The 6th IEEE International Conference on 
          Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems
          October 12 - October 15, 2009 
          Macau SAR, P. R. China 

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

Theme and scope:

Wireless networks have experienced an explosive growth during the past 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. The 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, privacy, cryptography, and distributed 
computing communities, with the goals of promoting discussions and 
collaborations. We are interested in novel research on all aspects of 
security and privacy in wireless and sensor networks and their cost-effective 
solutions.

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

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We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions 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:

· Attacks and Countermeasures
· Authentication and Access Control
· Computer-Aided Tool for Security
· Cross-layer Design for Security
· Cryptographic Protocol
· Denial of Service (DoS)
· Key Management
· Information Hiding
· Intrusion Detection and Response
· Malicious Behavior Detection and Analysis
· Privacy and Anonymity 
· Secure Localization and Synchronization 
· Security and Performance tradeoff
· Security Policy and Enforcement Issues 
· Security Protocols Analysis, Design, and Proof
· Secure Routing/MAC
· Surveillance and Monitoring
· Trust Establishment and Management 

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

Paper Submission:

Submit a full paper of about 6 pages (IEEE two column, single-spaced format), 
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 in the conference proceedings 
of the MASS'09. 

Use the Author Guidelines available at conference website 
(http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/mass09/submitguide.shtml). Prepare your papers

address, and e-mail address of the authors, about 100-150 word abstract, 
and at most five keywords. 

Submit your paper to EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7461). Submission 
of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be 
accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the workshop to present 
the work. A full conference registration is needed and will include the 
ability to attend any workshop and regular conference session.
