9th International Workshop on
Security Issues in Concurrency
|
September 5 2011, Aachen, Germany.
The
9th International Workshop on Security Issues in Concurrency will be co-located with
CONCUR 2011,
QEST 2011 and
TGC 2011
Important dates
- Deadline for paper submission: June 12, 2011 (extended)
- Notification: July 8, 2011
- Workshop: September 5, 2011
Scope and topics
Emerging trends in concurrency theory require the definition of models
and languages adequate for the design and management of new classes of
applications, mainly to program either WANs (like Internet) or smaller
networks of mobile and portable devices (which support applications
based on a dynamically reconfigurable communication structure). Due to
the openness of these systems, new critical aspects come into play,
such as the need to deal with malicious components or with a hostile
environment. Current research on network security issues
(e.g. secrecy, authentication, etc.) usually focuses on opening
cryptographic point-to-point tunnels. Therefore, the proposed
solutions in this area are not always exploitable to support the
end-to-end secure interaction between entities whose availability or
location is not known beforehand.
The aim of the workshop is to cover the gap between the security and
the concurrency communities. More precisely, the workshop promotes the
exchange of ideas, trying to focus on common interests and stimulating
discussions on central research questions. In particular, we look for
papers dealing with security issues -- such as authentication,
integrity, privacy, confidentiality, access control, denial of
service, service availability, safety aspects, fault tolerance, trust,
language-based security, probabilistic and information theoretic models --
in emerging fields like web services, mobile
ad-hoc networks, agent-based infrastructures, peer-to-peer systems,
context-aware computing, global/ubiquitous/pervasive computing.
SecCo 2011 follows the success of
SecCo'03 (affiliated to ICALP'03),
SecCo'04 (affiliated to CONCUR'04),
SecCo'05 (affiliated to CONCUR'05),
SecCo'07 (affiliated to CONCUR'07),
SecCo'08 (affiliated to CONCUR'08) and
SecCo'09 (affiliated to CONCUR'09),
SecCo'10 (affiliated to CONCUR'10).
Note that this is SecCo's last year as an independent workshop. Starting from
next year, SecCo is merging with several other workshops in the field to
form the Conference on Security and Trust Foundations (STF) which will be
part of the
European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
(ETAPS).
