Special Issue on "Security and Privacy in Ubiquitous Computing"

Security and Communication Networks (SCN)

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/114299116/home

The research area of mobile computing has become more important 
following the recent widespread drive towards mobile ad hoc networks, 
wireless sensor networks and vehicular ad hoc network tracking 
technologies and their applications. The availability of high bandwidth 
3G infrastructures and the pervasive deployment of low cost WiFi 
infrastructures and WiMAX to create hotspots around the world serve to 
accelerate the development of mobile computing towards ubiquitous 
computing. Security and privacy in converged computing systems are 
considered an important part of these systems, and pose challenging open 
problems.

This special issue aims to collect contributions by leading-edge 
researchers from academia and industry, show the latest research results 
in the field of security and privacy in ubiquitous computing, and 
provide valuable information to researchers as well as practitioners, 
standards developers and policymakers.

This special issue will focus on the research challenges and issues in 
security and privacy in ubiquitous computing. Manuscripts regarding 
novel algorithms, architectures, implementations and experiences are 
welcome. Topics include but are not limited to:

- Secure architectures for converged communication networks

- Multi-hop authentication and authorization

- Context-aware security in computing

- Security management of mobile data

- Security for ubiquitous multimedia communication

- Secure user interactions and ubiquitous services

- Security and privacy in location based services

- Security and privacy in mobile social networks

- Trust management in ubiquitous services

- Security in home networks

- Homeland security and surveillance

- Trusted cloud computing

- Secure group communication/multicast

- Secure machine-to-machine communication

- Security in portable devices and wearable computers

- Privacy protection in distributed data mining

- Energy efficient intrusion detection schemes in mobile computing

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, 
not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.

*Submission*

Concerning the preparation of manuscripts, please refer to the 
"Instructions for Authors" page at the journal website,

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/114299116/home/ForAuthors.html.Manuscripts 
must be submitted through the online submission system: 
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn by selecting the corresponding 
track.When submitting papers, authors should identify "Manuscript Type" 
as "Special Issue", and enter "Running Head" and "Special Issue Title" 
as "SCN-SI-028" and "Ubiquitous Security and Privacy", respectively. 
Contributing authors might also be asked to review some of the papers 
submitted to this special issue. All papers will be rigorously reviewed 
based on quality: original, high scientific quality, well organized and 
clearly written, sufficient support for assertions and conclusions, 
appropriate title, abstract includes important points of the paper, 
satisfactory presentation in English, pertinent references, clear tables 
and figures.
