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.
