Le CENTRE DE CONGRÈS de CAEN
Caen, France
Special Session
on Trusted Ubiquitous Networks & Multimedia Contents Protection
(TUN-MM 2010)
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of
The International Conference on High Performance
Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2010)
http://cisedu.us/cis/hpcs/10/main/callForPapers.jsp
In conjunction with
The 6th International Wireless Communications and
Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2010)
Extended Full Paper Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Recent years have witnessed rapid developments of the information communication technology
and the Next-Generation Internet. 3G and 4G wireless mobile networks have been
striding to a large-scale deployment and application. So, we have seen the potential
and value for new technologies from a variety of digital networks to various
interconnected digital devices, which made it possible to realize the ubiquitous network
and society.
The ubiquitous network could enable a convenient connection ýanytime, anywhere, anything,
anyoneý to the information communications network. Yet, it is necessary for users to
establish a highly secure and reliable environment in which they could enjoy ubiquitous
digital services via ubiquitous network and connectivity. Establishing trustworthy
ubiquitous network brings up some urgent and challenging issues.
In contrast to the cyberspace we have seen until now, the ubiquitous network will be
capable of exchanging information more freely beyond the boundaries of time and
distance. Unfortunately, in such environment, copyright infringement behaviors, such
as illicit copying, malicious distribution, unauthorized usage, free sharing of
copyright-protected digital contents, will also become a much more common
phenomenon. Contents protection & Digital Rights Management (DRM) have a
tangible goal to safeguard the rights and benefits of multimedia contents owners,
copyrights holders, digital services providers, and even consumers in contents value
chain. Some applications research frontiers, related to contents security, have
emerged in recent years. These include subjects on trustworthy networks and
transactions, secure digital multimedia broadcasting and controlled contents
sharing. Researchers, contents industry engineers and administrators attempt to
resort to the state-of-the-art technologies and ideas to protect valuable digital contents
and services assets against attacks and IP piracy in the emerging ubiquitous
network.
This special session aims to bring together related research works in the realm of
Ubiquitous Network and Multimedia Contents Security, and further investigates and
discusses trusted solutions and secure techniques for Ubiquitous Network and Ubiquitous
Computing, as well as some open issues faced by digital contents owners/rights
holders/multimedia services providers, who dedicate themselves to protect their
Intellectual Property Rights and business benefits. In addition, novel ideas and
research works from end consumersý perspective, such as privacy, trustworthiness and
multimedia contents sharing in ubiquitous network society, will be embraced by the
session.
The Session topics include (but are not limited
to) the following:
- Digital Rights Management & Interoperability
- Methodologies for Establishing Trust Among Unknown/Un-trusted Entities
- Authentication, Authorization and Access Control in Ubiquitous
Networks
- Metrics and Measurement Schemes
- Monitoring and Assessment
- IP, Privacy and Trust in Ubiquitous Networks
- Ubiquitous Computing & Web Services
- Secure Digital Multimedia Broadcasting
- Multimedia Contents Sharing & Risk Management
- Contents Security & Protection
