WorldCIS 2012 - World Congress on Internet Security (WorldCIS-2012)

The World Congress on Internet Security (WorldCIS-2012) is an international forum dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practical implementation of security on the Internet and Computer Networks. The inability to properly secure the Internet, computer networks, protecting the Internet against emerging threats and vulnerabilities, and sustaining privacy and trust has been a key focus of research. The WorldCIS aims to provide a highly professional and comparative academic research forum that promotes collaborative excellence between academia and industry.

On the ubiquitous networking environments, information is explosively used for various kinds of purposes. From a service perspective, a number of context or ambient aware services are envisaged for "ubiquitous networking" but based on the context security remains an issue.

The objectives of the WorldCIS are to bridge the knowledge gap between academia and industry, promote research esteem and and to fostering discussions on information technologies, information systems and globa security applications. The WorldCIS-2012 invites speakers and researchers to submit papers that encompass conceptual analysis, design implementation and performance evaluation.

Panel Discussion

Proposals from those who would like to facilitate a panel discussion are welcomed. The proposals may address any of the topics falling within the scope of the conference themes.

Panel Discussions provide an opportunity for public discussion amongst a selected group of panelists. Central to the success of a panel discussion is the choice of a good topic as the focus for discussion and panellists who bring differing perspectives and are confident in making clear arguments in a live situation. Panels should comprise of three to five scholars who present their arguments; a discussant offers critical comment on the arguments made and the discussion is opened up to the participating audience.

The proposal must include:

? Title
? Panel Chair(s) (if necessary)
? Speakers Name, Affiliation and Email
? Scope
? Objective and motivation

The WorldCIS-2012 will set aside space for those who wish to pursue discussion of a particular topic or issue. Interested individuals should submit a proposal not more than 400 words, on or before January 31, 2012. In addition, the proposal should indicate the duration of the panel discussion (preferred duration is 90 minutes).

All accepted Panel Discussion proposal will be published in the Conference Proceedings. If you are interested in organising Panel Discussion for the WorldCIS-2012, please email your proposal to the pandis-AT-worldcis.org Submissions should be in MS Word format.

Virtual Presentation (Video Conferencing)

We understand that some presenters will not be able to make the trip to Canada to present their research paper, case study, work in progress and report, mainly due to financial and/or political restrictions on travel. The WorldCIS-2012 has therefore instituted a virtual presentation system to allow the authors of accepted papers the same publication opportunities as regular presenters. A research works submitted without the participant attending the Conference in person, but presented via video conferencing are refereed and published (if accepted) in the conference proceedings.

You can submit a research paper, case study, work in progress and report for virtual presentation under the open call for papers via email to papers-AT-worldcis.org

All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings and modified version of selected papers will be published in special issues peer reviewed journals.
