Ninth International Workshop on Security Issues in Concurrency, Aachen, Germany
5 September 2011 - 5 September 2011
Germany
The Ninth International Workshop on Security Issues in Concurrency will take place on 5 September 2011 in Aachen, Germany.
Emerging trends in concurrency theory require the definition of models and languages adequate for the design and management of new classes of applications, mainly to program either wide area networks (like internet) or smaller networks of mobile and portable devices (which support applications based on a dynamically reconfigurable communication structure).
Due to the openness of these systems, new critical aspects come into play, such as the need to deal with malicious components or with a hostile environment. Current research on network security issues (e.g. secrecy, authentication, etc.) usually focuses on opening cryptographic point-to-point tunnels. Therefore, the proposed solutions in this area are not always exploitable to support the end-to-end secure interaction between entities whose availability or location is not known beforehand.
The aim of the workshop will be to cover the gap between the security and the concurrency communities. It will promote the exchange of ideas, trying to focus on common interests and stimulating discussions on central research questions. Topics are set to include:
- authentication;
- integrity;
- privacy;
- confidentiality;
- access control;
- denial of service;
- service availability;
- safety aspects;
- fault tolerance;
- trust;
- language-based security.
The event will also cover probabilistic and information theoretic models in emerging fields like web services, mobile ad-hoc networks, agent-based infrastructures, peer-to-peer systems, context-aware computing and global/ubiquitous/pervasive computing.For further information, please visit: http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~kostas/SecCo2011/(opens in new window)
