Open PostDoc position at the research group Theoretical Computer Science at University of Siegen, Germany (Payment German TV-L 13)

The research group for Theoretical Computer Science is offering a position as a postdoctoral researcher, starting at January 1, 2015 or earlier.
The job is part of the research project QUANT-KOMP (quantitative aspects of grammar-based compression) and is funded by the DFG
(German Research Foundation). The salary is based on 13 TV-L (salary class 13 in the German federal state employees salary scheme TV-L),
and the duration is three years.* Short description of the project QUANT-KOMP:

Grammar-based compression is an important subject that has been well-studied from both theoretical and practical point of views.
The main idea is to represent large objects like texts or trees by grammars that generate the input object only. Except for the
compressors from the Lempel-Ziv family only few quantitative aspects about the quality of grammar-based compressors are
known. The main object of the project is to develop new techniques that can provide precise quantitative information about
the compression rate of grammar-based text or tree compression. Both the approximation rate and the classical entropies
(Shannon-entropy, empirical entropy, topological entropy) shall be analyzed for grammar-based compression. For trees the
compression via DAGs (directed acyclic graphs) is of special interest, as it is ubiquitous in Computer Science.

* Your tasks:

- Scientific studies
- Publication of the results in international journals and conference proceedings
- Presentation at conferences
- Supervising students assisting the project

The position does not demand teaching.

* Your profile:

- University degree (diploma, master or bachelor) in Computer Science or Mathematics
- Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science or in a similar area
- Knowledge of one or more of the following subjects is favorable: formal languages and automata, algorithms on words and trees,
data compression, information theory, analytic combinatorics.

* University of Siegen:

The University of Siegen has about 18,500 students and 1,700 employees (of which 1,100 are scientific staff). Its scientific focus
is on innovative and interdisciplinary research. It offers a wide spectra of interesting subjects like humanities, economics, engineering

*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.
