  IWCS 2011 Call for Paper

================================================================================================


The 1st FTRA International Workshop on Convergence Security in
Pervasive Environments (IWCS 2011)

Crete, Greece, June 28 - 30, 2011

http://www.ftrai.org/iwcs2011

================================================================================================

Overview
--------------------------------------
A recent emerging issue in information technology is the convergence of 
different kinds of applications. Convergence brings a user-centric 
environment to provide computing and communication services. In order to 
realize IT advantages, it requires the integration of security and data 
management to be suitable for pervasive computing environments. However, 
there are still many problems and major challenges waiting for us to 
solve such as the security risks in convergence application, which could 
appear when devices interact with different kinds of applications. 
Therefore, we need to explore convergence security in pervasive 
environments.

IWCS 2011 addresses the various theories and practical applications of 
convergence security in pervasive environments. It will present 
important results of significant value in order to improve application 
services and solve various problems within the scope of IWCS 2011. In 
addition, we expect it will trigger further related research and 
technology developments that will improve our lives in the future.

Another area that must be considered in the convergence of different 
security services in pervasive environments is the Internet of Things 
(IoT). There are many definitions of the IoT, but all of them revolve 
around the same central concept: a world-wide network of interconnected 
objects. It is to be expected that the elements of a pervasive 
environment will greatly benefit from Internet connectivity, as 
pervasive devices will be able to interact with external entities by 
obtaining services or even by providing them. However, it is necessary 
to address how the different security mechanisms used in the local 
pervasive environment could interact with protocols and mechanisms (e.g. 
secure web services) that allow secure collaboration with remote 
entities. Considering that the security of the IoT is a topic that is 
currently being considered a priority by many different industrial, 
commercial and governmental actors, the secure convergence of this new 
paradigm with pervasive environments is a potential research field that 
will be taken into account in our workshop.
