-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Wireless Network Security Datum: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 12:03:18 +0200 Von: EURASIP JWCN Alert <wcn(a)hindawi.info> An: <gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at> >>> EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Special Issue on Wireless Network Security Call for Papers Recent advances in wireless network technologies have rapidly developed in recent years, as evidenced by wireless location area networks (WLANs), wireless personal area networks (WPANs), wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), and wireless wide area networks (WWANs), that is, cellular networks. A major impediment to their deployment, however, is wireless network security. For example, the lack of data confidentiality in wired equivalent privacy (WEP) protocol has been proven, and newly adopted standards such as IEEE 802.11i robust secruity network (RSN) and IEEE 802.15.3a ultra-wideband (UWB) are not fully tested and, as such, may expose unforeseen security vulnerabilities. The effort to improve wireless network security is linked with many technical challenges including compatibility with legacy wireless networks, complexity in implementation, and cost/performance trade-offs. The need to address wireless network security and to provide timely, solid technical contributions establishes the motivation behind this special issue. This special issue will focus on novel and functional ways to improve wireless network security. Papers that do not focus on wireless network security will not be reviewed. Specific areas of interest in WLANs, WPANs, WMANs, and WWANs include, but are not limited to: o Attacks, security mechanisms, and security services o Authentication o Access control o Data confidentiality o Data integrity o Nonrepudiation o Encryption and decryption o Key management o Fraudulent usage o Wireless network security performance evaluation o Wireless link layer security o Tradeoff analysis between performance and security o Authentication and authorization for mobile service network o Wireless security standards (IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16, 3GPP, and 3GPP2) Authors should follow the EURASIP JWCN manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.info/wcn/ Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the EURASIP JWCN's manuscript tracking system at journal's web site, according to the following timetable.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Advanced Video Technologies and Applications for H.264/AVC and Beyond Datum: Tue, 8 Feb 2005 11:07:03 +0200 Von: EURASIP JASP Alert <asp(a)hindawi.com.eg> An: <gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at> >>> EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Advanced Video Technologies and Applications for H.264/AVC and Beyond Call for Papers The recently developed video coding standard H.264/MPEG-4 AVC significantly outperforms previous standards in terms of coding efficiency at reasonable implementation complexity and costs in VLSI realization. Real-time H.264 coders will be available very soon. Many applications, such as surveillance systems with multiple video channel recording, multiple channel video services for mobile devices, will benefit from the H.264 coder due to its excellent coding efficiency. The new video coding technology introduces new opportunities for video services and applications. However, advanced video coding is only one aspect for successful video services and applications. To enable successful new applications, additional technologies to cope with time-varying channel behaviors and diverse usage characteristics are needed. For serving multiple videos, some extended designs such as joint rate-distortion optimization and scheduling of multiple parallel video sessions are also required to achieve fair and robust video storage and delivery. For video surveillance systems, intelligent video content analysis and scalabilities in video quality, resolution, and display area, coupled with wireless transmission, can offer new features for the application. Finally, computational complexity reduction and low-power design of video codecs as well as content protection of video streams are particularly important for mobile devices. The goal of this special issue is to discuss state-of-the-art techniques to enable various video services and applications on H.264/AVC technologies and their new developments. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): o Video over DVB-H o Error resilience of video over mobile networks o Video delivery in multiuser environments o Rate-distortion optimization for multiple video sources o Multipath delivery of video streams o Optimization of video codecs for quality improvement and power reduction o Security and content protection of video streams o Transcoding techniques o Scalable video o Other advanced video coding technologies o Video quality measures Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.com.eg/asp/ Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the EURASIP JASP's manuscript tracking system at journal's web site, according to the following timetable.

Dear potential Speaker: On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to extend a cordial invitation for you to attend one or both of the upcoming IPSI BgD multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary conferences. The first one will take place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA: IPSI-2005 USA Hotel@MIT, Cambridge (arrival: 7 July 05 / departure: 10 July 05) New deadlines: 20 February 05 (abstract) / 15 April 05 (full paper) The second one will take place in Loreto Aprutino, Italy: IPSI-2005 ITALY Hotel Castello Chiola (arrival: 27 July 05 / departure: 1 August 05) New deadlines: 20 February 05 (abstract) / 15 April 05 (full paper) All IPSI BgD conferences are non-profit. They bring together the elite of the world science; so far, we have had seven Nobel Laureates speaking at the opening ceremonies. The conferences always take place in some of the most attractive places of the world. All those who come to IPSI conferences once, always love to come back (because of the unique professional quality and the extremely creative atmosphere); lists of past participants are on the web, as well as details of future conferences. These conferences are in line with the newest recommendations of the US National Science Foundation and of the EU research sponsoring agencies, to stress multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research (M.I.T. research). The speakers and activities at the conferences truly support this type of scientific interaction. One of the main topics of this conference is "E-education and E-business with Special Emphasis on Semantic Web and Web Datamining" Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Internet * Computer Science and Engineering * Mobile Communications/Computing for Science and Business * Management and Business Administration * Education * e-Medicine * e-Oriented Bio Engineering/Science and Molecular Engineering/Science * Environmental Protection * e-Economy * e-Law * Technology Based Art and Art to Inspire Technology Developments * Internet Psychology If you would like more information on either conference, please reply to this e-mail message. If you plan to submit an abstract and paper, please let us know immediately for planning purposes. Note that you can submit your paper also to the IPSI Transactions journal. Sincerely Yours, Prof. V. Milutinovic, Chairman, IPSI BgD Conferences * * * CONTROLLING OUR E-MAILS TO YOU * * * If you would like to continue to be informed about future IPSI BgD conferences, please reply to this e-mail message with a subject line of SUBSCRIBE.
