Submission Guidelines
--------------------

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 12
pages, including references, in LNCS style presenting original
research on the theory of Computer Science. All submissions will be
electronic via the EasyChair page for the conference, with three
tracks (A, B and C):

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icalp2015

Submissions should be made to the appropriate track of the conference.
No prior publication or simultaneous submission to other publication
outlets (either a conference or a journal) is allowed.

Submissions must adhere to the specified format and
length. Submissions that are too long or formatted incorrectly may be
rejected immediately. All the technical details that are necessary
for a proper scientific evaluation of a submission must be included in
a clearly-labelled appendix, to be consulted at the discretion of
program committee members. This includes, in particular, the proofs of
all the key theorems in a paper.

Should I submit my paper to Track A or Track C?
------------------------------------------------

While the scope of Tracks A and B are generally well understood given
their long history, the situation for Track C may be less obvious. In
particular, some clarifications may be helpful regarding areas of
potential overlap, especially between Tracks A and C.

The aim for Track C is to be the leading venue for theory papers truly
motivated by networking applications, and/or proposing theoretical
results relevant to real networking, certified analytically, but not
necessarily tested practically. The motivation for the track was the
lack of good venues for theory papers motivated by applications in
networking. On the one hand, the good networking conferences typically
ask for extended experiments and/or simulations, while the TCS
community is hardly able to do such experiments or simulations. On the
other hand, the good conferences on algorithms tend to judge a paper
based only on its technical difficulty and on its significance from an
algorithmic perspective, which may not be the same as when judging the
paper from the perspective of impact on networks.

Several areas of algorithmic study of interest to track C have a broad
overlap with track A. Graph algorithmics can belong in either, though
if the work is not linked to networking, it is more appropriate in
track A. Algorithmic game theory is another area of major
overlap. Aspects involving complexity, the computation of equilibria
and approximations, belong more in Track A, while results with
applications in auctions, networks and some aspects of mechanism
design belong in Track C.

Finally, it should be noted that algorithms and complexity of
message-passing based distributed computing belong squarely in track
C, while certain other aspects of distributed computing do not fall
under its scope.

Best Paper Awards
-----------------

As in previous editions of ICALP, there will be best paper and best
student paper awards for each track of the conference. In order to be
eligible for a best student paper award, a paper should be authored
only by students and should be marked as such upon submission.

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

*Call for Papers*

Computer Communications Journal, Elsevier
(Current Impact Factor: 1.352)

Special Issue on:
Security and Privacy in Unified Communications: Challenges and Solutions

Direct Link:
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-security-and-privacy-in-unified-communicati/

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

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.


Schedule

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