We cordially invite you to submit to IWSSI 2007, the First International
Workshop on Security for Spontaneous Interaction, which will be held on
September 16, 2007 in Innsbruck, Austria in conjunction with Ubicomp 2007.
Please circulate this CfP to your colleagues and co-workers as you deem
appropriate.
UPDATE: Due to repeated requests, the submission deadline has been extended
to June 8, 2007. The submission format should be Springer two-column style,
a template can be found on the workshop web page.
A special issue for IJSN, the International Journal of Security and
Networks, is planned and authors of select workshop contributions will be
invited to prepare articles for this issue.
+ This message has been sent to several relevant mailing lists worldwide. +
+++ Please accept our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies. +++

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the cornerstones in Mark Weiser's vision of ubiquitous computing
is the potential for interacting with services, anywhere, anytime.
Advances in mobile computing, ad hoc networks, context awareness, and
human computer interaction now facilitate a seamless, spontaneous
interaction between users, devices, and services. However, securing such
interactions is difficult, because typically there will be no a priori
shared information such as passwords, addresses, or PIN codes. Neither can
we assume a globally trusted third party for certifying users, devices,
and services. A few different approaches to securing spontaneous
interactions have recently been suggested, and some of them have already
been adopted for standardization. However, many research challenges still
remain as none of the known solutions is fully satisfactory with respect
to security, on the one hand, and usability, on the other hand.
One of the main issues in security for spontaneous interaction is the lack
of common ground. This workshop aims to bring together researchers working
on the topic, to define open issues, clarify the used terminology, and
foster cooperation between researchers in this area.
* Topics of Interest *
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to (in
the context of spontaneous interaction):
- Authentication protocols and methods for device pairing
- Sensor-, context-, and location-based authentication methods
- Methods for realizing constrained channels
- Authorization, access contol, and trust management
- Logging and auditing
- Network and system models
- User interfaces and models for user interaction
- Privacy and anonymous/pseudonomous interactions
- Making use of spontaneous interaction in applications
* Submission Categories *
There are two separate categories for submission:
- Full papers: We solicit novel contributions of up to 6 pages in
Springer two-column style on any of the topics of interests or related
areas. These must not significantly overlap with other papers
previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted
papers will be published in the Ubicomp 2007 workshop proceedings.
- Position papers: Position papers should be no longer than 2 pages in
Springer two-column style and may present already published work in the
context of IWSSI 2007, work in progress, as well as ideas and concepts
for future research.
We encourage authors to submit to both categories if deemed appropriate.
* Submission guidelines *
All submissions should be sent to Rene Mayrhofer <[log in to unmask]>
in PDF or Postscript format no later than June 8th, 2007 with a subject of
"IWSSI 2007 submission". Please do not send Word or other formats to avoid
formatting problems.
* Workshop format and goals *
Authors of accepted full and position papers will be invited to give short
presentations at the beginning of the workshop with brief discussion
phases, followed by an open panel and more specific discussion groups
to discuss common ground and open challenges. The open panel is also a
forum for informally presenting demonstrators, which is encouraged.
In addition to the Ubicomp 2007 workshop proceedings, accepted
contributions will be published on the workshop web page. Results in form
of agreed terminology, recognized issues and research challenges, and
potentially future research agendas will be added to a workshop Wiki where
attendees can directly add content after the workshop. This Wiki may act as
an initial platform for a research community on security for spontaneous
interaction.
Depending on the open panel and wrap-up sessions, we intend to organize a
special issue of an international journal to present the current state of
the art of the research area in a coherent manner. Select authors will be
invited to prepare articles for the special issue after the workshop, with
an additional review phase by the workshop committee and journal editors.

June 08, 2007 -- Submission Deadline
July 01, 2007 -- Acceptance Notification
July 14, 2007 -- Camera-ready accepted papers
September 16, 2007 -- Workshop
