SASN 2005 DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 8 (FIRM).

   Due to numerous requests, SASN 2005 submission deadline has been extended to
   July 8. Please note this is a firm deadline. Because of the tight review
   schedule, we will not be able to grant any further extension.

SASN 2005 is now accepting submissions!

   Visit http://www.softconf.com/start/CCS05-SASN/submit.html to submit your
   papers.

                              CALL FOR PAPERS

   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.  SASN 2005 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.  This one-day workshop builds on the success of SASN 2003 and SASN
   2004.

   Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following as they
   relate to 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
     * Secure clock distribution
     * 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.
   All paper submissions will be handled electronically.  Submissions are to be
   made to the web site http://www.softconf.com/start/CCS05-SASN/submit.html.
   Only  pdf or postscript files will be accepted. Submission size should
   ideally be less than 1MB and no more than 2MB. Authors who have difficulty
   with the 2MB size limit should inform the program co-chairs by email to
   pning (at) ncsu dot edu. Papers must be received by the deadline of July 8,
   2005. (To make sure the deadline is valid "from anywhere in the world", SASN
   2005 uses the "GMT -12:00" time zone.)
   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. Outstanding papers will be invited for
   possible publication in a special issue of Journal of Computer Security
   (JCS) on Security of Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks.
