SASN 2003

2003 ACM Workshop on Security of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (SASN '03)

October 31, 2003 
George W. Johnson Center at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA

Held in conjunction with the Tenth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS-10)

Registration is available via the ACM CCS web site
Early Registration ends on Sept 29

Preliminary Technical Program

Ad hoc and sensor networks are expected to become an integral part of the future computing landscape. However, these networks introduce new security challenges due to their dynamic topology, severe resource constraints, and absence of a trusted infrastructure.

This workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all aspects of security for ad hoc and sensor networks, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. Submission of papers based on work-in-progress is encouraged.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following as they relate to wireless networks, mobile ad hoc networks, or sensor networks:

• Security under resource constraints, e.g., energy, bandwidth, memory, and computation constraints
• Performance and security tradeoffs
• Secure roaming across administrative domains
• Key management
• Cryptographic Protocols
• Authentication and access control
• Trust establishment, negotiation, and management
• Intrusion detection and tolerance
• Secure location services
• Privacy and anonymity
• Secure routing
• Secure MAC protocols
• Denial of service
• Prevention of traffic analysis

Submission Instructions:

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. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, using at least 11-point font and reasonable margins on US letter-size paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch). Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so submissions should be intelligible without them. Each submission should start with the title, abstract, and names and contact information of authors. The introduction should give background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader.

To submit a paper, send to swarup@mitre.org a plain ASCII text email containing the title and abstract of your paper, the authors' names, email and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and identification of the contact author. To the same message, attach your submission (as a MIME attachment) in PDF or portable postscript format. Do NOT send files formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files). Papers must be received by the deadline of July 18, 2003.

Conference proceedings will be published by the ACM and made available at the workshop. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit revised papers after the workshop for publication in an edited collection.
