*Call for Papers*

Computer Communications Journal, Elsevier
(Current Impact Factor: 1.079)

Special Issue on:

Security and Privacy in Unified Communications: Challenges and Solutions

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

Unified Communications (UC) merge different communication
technologies, types of products, and services, from various
manufacturers, operators, and countries, following diverse policies
and standards. Specifically, in the context of UC, a range of
communication tools are integrated in a way that both corporations and
individuals are able to manage all their communications in one entity
instead of doing it disjointly. It is therefore said that UC bridges
the opening between the various computer related communication
technologies and Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this high level of
heterogeneity expands the risks related to security and privacy that
stakeholders should deal with. To eliminate or even prevent the
increasing threats to end-users and operators, it is important to
explore this growing and timely research topic. This feature topic
will benefit the research community towards identifying challenges and
disseminating the latest methodologies and solutions to UC security
and privacy issues. Its objective is to publish high-quality articles
presenting open issues, algorithms, protocols, policies, frameworks,
standards, and solutions for UC related to security and privacy. Only
technical papers describing previously unpublished, original,
state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a
conference or a journal will be considered. Reviews and case studies
which address state-of-art research and state-of-practice industry
experiences are also welcomed. We solicit papers in a variety of
topics related to unified communications security and privacy,
including, but not limited to:

- Authorization and access control for UC services
- Denial of service prevention schemes for UC
- Reliability and availability issues on UC
- Penetration testing, intrusion detection and prevention
- End-to-end security solutions
- Cryptographic protocols for UC
- Voice security
- Signaling security and privacy
- Multimedia application security and privacy analysis
- Multimedia communication platforms vulnerabilities and attacks
- Security and privacy in mobile communication services
- Smartphone multimedia apps security and privacy
- Social networking security and privacy
- Testbed and case studies for secure and private UC services
- Trust establishment in UC
- IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) security
- Privacy and identity management
- Privacy enhancing technologies for UC
- Privacy models for UC
- Security and privacy assessment for UC
- Security policies
- Auditing, verification, and validation of UC services
- Risk analysis and management
- Cyber-security issues affecting UC
- Protection of UC as a Critical Information Infrastructure
- VoIP peering security issues

All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least
two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to
the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and
quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial
determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers
that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside
the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the
authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must
not be under consideration by any other journal or publication.

Manuscript submission deadline: October 31, 2014
Pre-notification (first round): January 30, 2015
Final-notification (second round): April 3, 2015

SIROCCO is devoted to the study of the interplay between communication
and knowledge in multi-processor systems from both the qualitative and
quantitative viewpoints. Special emphasis is given to innovative
approaches and fundamental understanding, in addition to efforts
to optimize current designs. Conference. SIROCCO has a tradition of
interesting and productive scientific meetings in a relaxed and pleasant
atmosphere, attracting leading researchers in a variety of fields
in which communication and knowledge play a significant role. This time,
SIROCCO is held at Takayama, a small town located at the central
region of Japan with exotic scenery. Scope. Original papers are
solicited from all areas of study of local structural knowledge and
global communication and computational complexities. Among the typical
areas are distributed computing, communication networks, game theory,
parallel computing, social networks, mobile computing (including
autonomous robots), peer to peer systems, and communication
complexity. Keeping with the tradition of SIROCCO, new areas are
always welcome.

= SIROCCO Award =

AIMS:

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying
excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are
currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at
attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large,
well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these
areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and
people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2014, significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular
focus will be put on methodology.

VENUE:

SLSP 2014 will take place in Grenoble, at the foot of the French Alps.

The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of statistical
methods (including machine learning) within language and speech processing.
The list below is indicative and not exhaustive:

phonology, phonetics, prosody, morphology
syntax, semantics
discourse, dialogue, pragmatics
statistical models for natural language processing
supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning methods
applied to natural language, including speech
statistical methods, including biologically-inspired methods
