Theme and scope:

Wireless networks have experienced an explosive growth during the last few years. Nowadays, there is a large variety of networks spanning from the well-known cellular networks to non-infrastructure wireless networks such as mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. The security issue is a central concern for achieving secured communication in these networks. This workshops aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from wireless and sensor networking, security, cryptography, and distributed computing communities, with the goals of promoting discussions and collaborations. We are interested in novel research on all aspects of security in wireless and sensor networks and tradeoff between security and performance such as QoS, dependability, scalability, etc.

Topics of interest:

We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of secured wireless/sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Paper Submission:

Submit a full paper of about 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society proceedings Manuscripts: two column, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Each submitted paper will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS'06 workshops.

Use the IEEE Transactions LaTeX and Microsoft Word Style (http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html). Prepare your papers in PDF file only (Adobe format), paper title, names, affiliations, postal address, and e-mail address of the authors, about 100-150 word abstract, and at most five keywords.

Submit your paper as an e-mail attachment to zjiang@wcupa.edu. Acknowledgement will be sent back for each submission within 24 hours; otherwise, a re-submission is needed. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work.
