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

To be held in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Network & System Security (NSS 2009) 
http://nss.cqu.edu.au, October 19-21 – Gold Coast, Australia

Technically co-sponsored with IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society

AIMS AND SCOPE:

Wireless sensor networks have emerged as promising future of many sensitive applications.  However, besides their potential benefits, 
these emerging networks also raise some challenging issues with respect to the security and privacy.  The aim of this workshop is to bring 
together researchers, academics, developers and industry practitioners working in sensor network security to discuss recent and innovative 
results in Quality of Security (QoSec), and identify future research directions and challenges where assurance of quality in security is 
central requirement for any proposed security solutions in wireless sensor networks.    
In addition to broad range of wireless sensor networks security topics, papers are particularly solicited with a focus on Quality of Security.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-  Techniques for determining QoSec for WSN
-  Sensor network security with information quality
-  Economics of handling specific QoSec requirements in WSN
-  QoSec in Routing algorithms 
-  Secure localisation quality 
-  Quality of security in in-network processing 
-  Quality of secure data aggregation 
-  QoSec in key management 
-  Scalable QoSec frameworks
-  QoSec in malicious node detection 
-  Quality of trust establishment 
-  Analytical and simulation models for QoSec
-  Approaches to measure the performance of security solutions

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION DETAILS: 
Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers not exceeding six pages, including text, figures, tables, and references. 
Papers must be written in English and must be in standard IEEE conference format. Every submitted paper will be carefully reviewed 
by at least two TPC members. All submissions will be handled electronically through EasyChair conference system http://www.easychair.org.
In order to submit the paper, please follow the link “submit paper” from the workshop website http://scm.csu.edu.au/qosecwsn09. 
To avoid last minute technical problems, authors are encouraged to submit their papers well in advance of the deadline. 
Please contact the Program Chairs if you are unable to use the web-based submission system.

The proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available through IEEE Xplore Digital database, 
and professionally indexed through INSPEC and EI Index.    Submission of a paper should be regarded as an understanding that at least one of
the authors of each accepted paper will register and present the paper in the workshop.
