Call for Papers --------------- 2nd International Conference on Security in Pervasive Computing, SPC2005 April 6-8, 2005 Boppard, Germany http://www.spc-conf.org Deadline: October 15, 2004 The ongoing shrinking of computing facilities to small and mobile devices like handhelds, portables or even wearable computers will enhance an ubiquitous information processing. The basic paradigm of such a pervasive computing is the combination of strongly decentralized and distributed computing with the help of diversified devices allowing for spontaneous connectivity. Computers will become invisible to the users awareness and exchange of information between devices will effectively defy users control. The objective of this conference is to develop new security concepts for complex application scenarios based on systems like handhelds, phones, smartcards, RF-chips and smart labels hand in hand with the emerging technology of ubiquitous and pervasive computing. Particular topics include but are not limited to methods and technologies concerning: · the identification of risks, · the definition of security policies, and · the development of security and privacy measures especially cryptographic protocols related to the specific aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing like mobility, location based services, ad-hoc networking, resource allocation/restriction, invisibility and secure hardware/software platforms. Important Dates: Submission of papers: October 15, 2004 Notification: December 15, 2004 Camera ready copy: January 15, 2005 Conference: April, 6 - 8, 2005 Submissions: We welcome the submission of papers from the full spectrum of issues associated with security in pervasive computing. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. The accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes Series on Computer Science (LNCS). Papers should be at most 15 pages total (Springer LNCS style). The paper should start with the title, names of authors and an abstract. All papers must be submitted electronically. Details will be published on the web page of the conference http://www.spc-conf.org Location: The conference will be held at an old former monastery in Boppard, Germany. Boppard is a nice small town located in the rhine valley about one hour away from Frankfurt airport.
