==============================================
ACM WiSec 2010: Call for Posters and Demos
The 3rd ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security
March 22-24, 2010 Hoboken, USA
http://www.sigsac.org/wisec/WiSec2010/
==============================================

The ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security is focused on the
development of security solutions for existing and emerging wireless
networks. As such, it draws upon a broad array of disciplines that span
security, communications and networking. In addition to the conventional
program of technical papers, the 2010 WiSec conference will also include a
Poster and Demonstration Session as part of the technical program. The
purpose of the Poster and Demonstration Session is to provide a venue for
work that is at a nascent state of development, as well as provide a venue
for researchers to demonstrate technologies that have been developed with
relevance to wireless networking and security. In particular, the WiSec
Program Committee is encouraging both academic and industrial submissions,
with the objective of exchanging ideas and receiving timely feedback from
other members of the research community. Submissions to the Poster and
Demonstration Session will be evaluated based on technical merit and
innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting discussions
and exchange of ideas.

Submission Instructions for Posters and Demonstrations:

The posters and demonstrations will follow the same format. For the
posters, authors should submit a two page extended abstract that provides
sufficient technical detail so that the evaluation committee can assess
the technical merit of the work. The poster abstracts do not have to be
completed work, but at the same time should provide enough concrete
evidence to support the potential and validity of the proposed ideas.

For posters, authors are encouraged to submit a two page extended abstract
that describes the technology that they have developed, the relevance to
wireless networking and security, and which also highlights the novelty of
the prototype. Demonstration abstracts should have a research component
and, in particular, should not push a commercial agenda.

Abstracts should follow the WiSec formatting guidelines (with a 2 page
limit), and thus authors should refer to the main WiSec website for
instructions related to formatting. Abstracts of accepted posters and
demos will appear on the conference website, but will not appear in the
Proceedings so that authors can submit their work to other venues at a
later time without risking any potential conflicts. The demo session will
have a table per demo, power and wireless connectivity available. If a
demonstration requires special arrangements, please note them in a
separate email to the session chair after acceptance.

Submissions to the poster and demo session are being handled through the
submission site: http://www.sigsac.org/wisec/WiSec2010

Important Dates:

Poster and demo submission deadline: January 22, 2010 11:59pm (PST)
Notification of acceptance: February 5, 2010
Early Registration Deadline: February 19, 2010
Conference dates: March 22-24, 2010

Poster and Demo Session Chair: Wade Trappe, Rutgers University (WINLAB)

The 3rd International Provenance and Annotation Workshop (IPAW’2010)
Troy NY, USA, June 15-16, 2010
http://tw.rpi.edu/ipaw2010

Interest in and needs for provenance are growing as data proliferates. Data is increasing in a wide array of application areas, including scientific workflow systems, logical reasoning systems, text extraction, social media, and linked data. As data increases and as applications become more hybrid and distributed in nature, there is increasing interest in where data came from and how it was produced in order to understand when and how to rely on it.

Provenance, or the origin or source of something, can capture a wide range of information. This includes, for example, who or what generated the data, history of data stewardship, manner of manufacture, place and time of manufacture, and so on. Annotation is tightly connected with provenance since data is often commented on, described, and referred to. These descriptions or annotations are often critical to the understandability, reusability, and reproducibility of data and thus are often critical components of today’s data and knowledge systems.

Provenance has been recognized to be important in a wide range of areas including databases, workflows, knowledge representation and reasoning, and digital libraries. Thus, many disciplines have proposed a wide range of provenance models, techniques, and infrastructure for encoding and using provenance. One timely challenge for the broader community is to understand the range of strengths and weaknesses of different approaches sufficiently to find and use the best models for any given situation. This also comes at a time when a new incubator group has been formed at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to provide a state of the art understanding and develop a roadmap in the area of provenance for Semantic Web technologies, development, and possible standardization.

== Topics ==

This workshop builds on a successful line of provenance and annotation workshops (http://www.ipaw.info/). It aims to bring together a broad range of provenance researchers and users in order to discuss progress in and open research problems related to provenance and annotation. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Provenance models
* Architectures and data management techniques for provenance data
* Provenance requirements and use cases
* Provenance-aware reasoning
* Provenance-aware Semantic Web applications and technologies
* Presentation techniques and tools for provenance data
* Security and privacy issues for provenance data
* Provenance integration and interoperability
* Provenance for social media
* Provenance for linked data
* Query languages and query processing techniques for provenance data
* Storage and query interfaces for workflow provenance
* Provenance analysis, mining and visualization
* Provenance systems, functionality, protocols, implementation
* Provenance, business processes and compliance
* Provenance prototypes and commercial solutions
* Provenance in scientific publications
* Provenance and its relationship to annotation and metadata
* Provenance for digital libraries

== Submission ==

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not under review for publication elsewhere. Papers may be up to 12 pages in length, including reference and appendix. Detailed submission instructions will be available on the Submission page http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ipaw2010. Submitted research papers will also be automatically considered for the poster-only option. Proceedings will be published after the workshop by Springer (to be confirmed).

IPAW 2010 is also soliciting shorter submissions of ongoing work in the form of proposals for demonstrations, posters, or statements of interest. Short papers may be up to 4 pages in length. Demonstration proposals should describe the context and highlights of the proposed demonstration and include a brief description of the demonstration scenario.

== Important Dates ==

* Abstract deadline: March 8, 2010
* Submission deadline (papers, demos & posters): March 15, 2010
* Notification to authors: April 22, 2010
* Camera-ready deadline: June 1, 2010
* Presentation deadline: June 13, 2010
* Workshop: June 15-16, 2010

== Collocated Events ==

Provenance Hackathon (June 14, 2010) The day before the workshop. There will be a one day hackathon with a prize awarded during the conference.

Provenance Challenge Planning day (June 17, 2010) The day after the workshop. There will be a one day planning meeting for the next provenance challenge.
