2nd IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on
Security for Emerging Distributed Network Technologies (DISSECT)

http://www.dissect.vcu.edu/2016/

In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP
Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2016)

Istanbul // Turkey // 29 April 2016

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 8th, 2016

**********************************************************************


The emergence of networking technologies and paradigms, such as
software defined networking and network function virtualization, has
completely transformed the way networks are designed, deployed, and
managed, and has brought a multitude of challenges to the spotlight of
worldwide research. In this context, security has been one of the
areas of major concern and thus research interest, especially with the
growing demands of the general public for secure, trustworthy, and
privacy-preserving data communication and management.

In its second edition, the main goal of DISSECT will be to put focus
on security issues and challenges arising with the emergence of novel
networking technologies and paradigms. The workshop will shed light
on new challenges and present state-of-the-art research on the
various security aspects of next-generation networking technologies
and service management frameworks.

DISSECT will offer a venue for bringing together students,
researchers, and professionals from academia and industry sharing
common interest on security challenges related to the design and
management of the distributed networks and infrastructures. DISSECT is
intended to (1) discussing these challenges as well as future trends
on security management, (2) present and discuss work-in-progress
security-related research on cutting-edge technologies, and (3)
strengthening collaboration and research ties among peers.

Topics of Interest:

In this workshop, the research community from industry and academia
will be invited to contribute with manuscripts describing novel,
work-in-progress research on the design of solutions to relevant
security issues on a wide variety of next generation networking
technologies. The topics of interest of the workshop include, but are
not limited to

- Secure networking architecture design
- Intrusion detection and mitigation for emerging networks
- Trust and privacy in social networks
- Security and trust management in cloud environments
- Security challenges in the Internet of Things
- Secure design of SDN and NFV solutions
- Networked, distributed systems security
- Security and privacy of mobile systems
- Privacy-enhancing technologies
- Security measurement and analysis
- Wireless and ad-hoc network security
- Networks forensics
- Collaborative network security
- Security for smart X
- Security for large system and critical infrastructure
