Dear Gustaf Neumann,
Let me kindly inform you that SIMULTECH 2011, to be held in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands (29 - 31 July, 2011) is now welcoming the submission of position papers whose deadline is scheduled to next April 27.
A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper". CHWG
The SIMULTECH program will include a number of Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished world-class researchers (http://www.simultech.org/keynote_speakers.asp), including those listed below.
Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support. Additionally, a selection of the best papers of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag, the best papers with clear contributions to discrete-event simulation will be invited to submit revised versions to the Journal of Simulation (http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jos/index.html) and a short list of papers presented at the conference will be selected for publication of extended and revised versions in JDMS (http://www.uk.sagepub.com/journals/Journal201959).
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).
Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.simultech.org/best_paper_awards.asp).
Please check further details at the SIMULTECH 2011 conference web site (http://www.simultech.org). There you will find detailed information about the conference structure and its main topic areas. This conference is co-located with ICINCO 2011 (8th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics - http://www.icinco.org). Registration to SIMULTECH will enable free attendance to any sessions of ICINCO 2011 as a non-speaker.
Workshops and special sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose a workshop or a special session, for example based on the results of a specific research project, please send a proposal to the SIMULTECH secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

Call for Papers: Protecting the Internet of Things
in Journal of Security and Communication Networks (Wiley)
http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security
Submission Due Dates:
Manuscript due: 15th April 2011 (Extended)
First Review Results: Late June 2011
Final Acceptance Notification: August/September 2011
Camera Ready Manuscript due: Late August/September 2011
Publication: November/December 2011 (Tentative)
The vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), supported by industrial
companies
and governments all over the world, marks an evolution that will surely have
a great impact on our environments and our lives. The central element of
this
vision is the existence of a network of interconnected objects (from
books to
cars, from electrical appliances to food) that will be able not only to
obtain information from their surroundings and interact with the physical
world, but also to use existing Internet standards to provide services.
However, security is extremely important for achieving this goal. As this
worldwide network of interconnected objects can be exploited anywhere by
anyone and anytime, it is necessary to enhance it with strong security
foundations able to give birth to a world-changing paradigm. In fact, in
order to adequately protect the IoT, there are plenty of factors that
must be
taken into account. For example, the protection of the different building
blocks, the creation of interoperable security mechanisms, the
development of
new services that allow multiple entities (e.g., human beings, machines,
objects) to cooperate with each other, and the management of all the
information produced by those interactions. This special issue is
proposed to
cover research results and innovation case studies on security for the
Internet of Things.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* New security problems in the context of the IoT.
* Privacy risks and data management problems.
* Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities.
* Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration.
* New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things".
* Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies.
* Legal Challenges and Governance Issues.
* Resilience to external and internal attacks.
* Context-Aware security.
* Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT.
* Web services security and other application-layer issues.
* Distributed policy enforcement and rights management.
* Usability of Security and Privacy Technologies in the context of the IoT.
Submitted papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished
works. Original research papers are solicited in all areas on security
for the Internet of Things. All submissions will be peer reviewed by at
least three experts working in the areas. The guidelines for prospective
authors can be found at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security).
Prospective authors should submit their papers online at
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the
authors should make sure to choose the Manuscript type as 'Special Issue',
and enter 'Running Head' and 'Special Issue title' as 'SCN-SI-029' and
'Internet of things', respectively.

=========================================================================
Call for Papers
International Workshop on Security Aspects of Process-aware Information Systems (SAPAIS)
*Submission Deadline: April 17th, 2011*
In conjunction with ARES 2011
August 22-26, 2011
Vienna, Austria
http://www.ares-conference.eu/conf/
=========================================================================
Introduction
============
Business processes play a central role in many commercial software
systems and are of considerable interest to the research communities
in software engineering and information& system security. A
process-aware information system (PAIS) provides support for the
specification, execution, and/or monitoring of intra- as well as
inter-organizational business processes.
In this context, a complete and correct mapping of process definitions
and related security policies to the corresponding software system is
essential in order to assure consistency between the modeling-level
specifications on the one hand, and the software system that actually
manages corresponding process instances and enforces the respective
policies on the other. The requirement that runtime process instances
must comply with modeling-level processes and policies becomes even
more pressing with recent laws and regulations such as the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), or the Basel II Accord. Moreover,
corresponding compliance requirements also arise from security
recommendations and standards such as the NIST security handbook, the
NIST recommended security controls, the ISO 27000 standard family
(formerly ISO 17799), legally binding agreements such as business
contracts, or company-specific (internal) rules/regulations. This
workshop is concerned with the different security aspects of
process-aware information systems - including authentication,
authorization, audit, availability, confidentiality, integrity, and
privacy aspects.
Topics
======
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Requirements engineering for security aspects of PAIS
- Modeling-level support for security aspects of PAIS
- Implementation experiences for security aspects of PAIS
