WooPS: International Workshop on Petri Net-based Security
(http://www.telematik.uni-freiburg.de/woops) a satellite event of the 33rd International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency and 12th International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/events/pn2012/) Scope ------ Petri nets provide an expressive and well-studied formalism to specify and reason about security and reliability properties of abstractions/views of modern applications, such as smart grids and distributed enterprise systems. However, it is unclear how the cornucopia of available techniques (based on Petri nets and related concurrency models) can provide results of the analyses with sufficient precision to increase the confidence of designers in the overall security of the new applications. The assessment of these techniques with respect to correctness, computational complexity, and real-world case-studies is indeed mandatory to significantly advance the state-of-the-art of the emerging research area. The goal of WooPS is to foster the exchange of new ideas, methodologies, specification and analysis techniques for the (automated) analysis of next generation applications at the crossroads of the Petri net and security communities. The presentation of applications and corresponding tool support is explicitly requested. Invited speaker ---------------- * Karsten Wolf (Rostock, DE) Topics of interest ------------------- The topics of interest of WooPS include, but are not limited to, specification, verification, analysis techniques and theirs applications concerning * access and usage control policies * authentication and authorization * availability * compliance requirements * context-aware computing * information flow control * language-based security * peer-to-peer systems * privacy * monitoring policies and techniques * network and authorization infrastructures * safety, reliability, and resilience aspects * service composition and synthesis * security protocols * trust and trust management * workflow and workflow management analysis Whilst focusing mainly on Petri nets, WooPS equally welcomes submissions employing other models of concurrency, or relating these models to Petri nets. Submission guidelines ---------------------- We welcome submissions in the following cathegories: * extended abstracts, containing preliminary reports of work in progress and be no longer than 10 pages in LNCS format. These will be judged based on the expected level of interest for the WooPS community. * original papers, containing original research (with no substantial overlap with manuscripts that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a conference with proceedings or a journal) and sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the submission. Submissions in this cathegory must be no longer than 15 pages in LNCS format. * presentation-only papers, describing work recently published or submitted and will not be included in the proceedings. We see this as a way to provide additional access to important developments that WooPS Workshop attendees may be unaware of. All submissions are to be written in English. Technical details may be included in an appendix to be read at the reviewers' discretion. Submission must be done trough the WooPS Easychair page. Each manuscript will be reviewed by (at least) three PC members based on their originality, significance, technical soundness and clarity of exposition. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register for WooPS. The workshop proceedings will be electronically published with CEUR Workshop Proceedings and made available to all conference participants. Only accepted submissions in the second category (original papers) will be included both in the informal proceedings distributed at the Workshop and in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Extended abstracts will only be included in the informal proceedings. Some of the best papers from the workshop will be invited for publication in a volume of the journal sub-line of Lecture Notes in Computer Science entitled "Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency" (ToPNoC). The papers are expected to be thoroughly revised and they will go through a totally new round of reviewing as is standard practice for journal papers. Important dates ---------------- * EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April 15, 2012 * Notification of acceptance/rejection: May 15, 2012 * Camera-ready version: June 1, 2012 * Workshop date: June 26, 2012 Organizing Chairs and Program Committee ----------------------------------------- Chairs: * Rafael Accorsi (Freiburg U, DE) * Tadao Murata (Illinois U, USA) * Silvio Ranise (FBK, IT) Program committee: * Carmen Cago (Malaga U, ES) * Carlos Caleiro (Lisbon TU, PT) * Jason Crampton (Royal Holloway, UK) * Stephanie Delaune (ENS Cachan, FR) * Giorgio Delzanno (Genova U, IT) * Isao Echizen (National Institute of Informatics, JP) * Dirk Fahland (Eindhoven Universtiy of Technology, Netherlands) * Joshua Guttman (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US) * Henjao Huang (Harbin Institute of Technology, CN) * Michael Huth (Imperial College, UK) * Felix Klaedtke (ETH Zurich, CH) * Martin Leucker (Luebeck U, DE) * Jorge Lobo (IBM Research, USA) * Jan Mendling (Vienna WU, AT) * Laure Petrucci (Paris XIII U, FR) * Michael Rusinowitch (INRIA Nancy, FR) * Peter Ryan (Luxembourg U, LU) * Luca Vigano` (Verona U, IT) * Jan van der Werft (Eindhoven TU, NL) * Karsten Wolf (Rostock U, DE) |
