> Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential use
> of networked sensors in applications such as smart environments,
> disaster management, combat field reconnaissance, and security
> surveillance. While the initial view of the community was that
> networked sensors will play a complementary role that enhances
> the quality of these applications, recent research results have
> encouraged practitioners to envision an increased reliance on sensor
> networks and systems (SN&S) in such critical and sensitive applications.
>
> Therefore to realize their potential, necessary dependability and
> security (D&S) measures have to be incorporated in the design and
> during the operation of SN&S. Dependability is usually specified
> using attributes like reliability, survivability, safety,
> maintainability,
> and availability in presence of failure, while security is specified by
> attributes like integrity, authenticity, confidentiality, and
> availability
> in presence of attacks. D&S services accomplish tasks for attack and
> failure prevention, detection and response. The scope of D&S services
> may
> span the deployed sensors to command nodes and likely beyond. It also
> involves D&S support at, and cross-cutting, the protocol stack layers
> from physical to application.
>
> Achieving dependability and security in SN&S will require
> non-conventional
> mechanisms due to many factors including: (1) sensors are significantly
> constrained in the amount of available resources such as energy, storage
>
> and computation; (2) sensors are expected to be deployed in very large
> numbers in normal as well as harsh/hostile environments; (3) sensor
> networks suffer from structural weakness and limited physical
> protection, and (4) localization of impact is complicated due to the
> un-tethered nature of SN&S and of the potential attackers. In addition,
> D&S requirements may vary according to mission defined over a
> multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile
> versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, data
> collection), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event
> recovery), and time.
>
> This workshop will foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent
> research results on dependability and security in SN&S. Topics of
> interest include, although not limited to, the following:
>
> - Fault and intrusion-tolerant architectures, middleware and operational
> models
> - Robust routing, storage, and processing of sensed data
> - D&S architectures, protocols and tools
> - Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures
> - Monitoring and evaluation techniques
> - Robust clustering techniques
> - Self-awareness and context-awareness
> - Resilient virtual infrastructures
> - Autonomic and adaptive D&S support.
> - Formal representation and verification of D&S properties
> - Network inference support for D&S
> - Quality of service provisioning
> - Models, metrics, and measurements for D&S
> - Privacy-aware D&S services
> - Testbeds, simulation and visualization
> - Agent-based D&S management
> - SN&S  support for D&S in  larger information grids
> - SN&S application development environments
