SPTRM 2013 - Security, Privacy, Trust, and Resource Management in Mobile and Wireless Communications

Proposals Submission Deadline: September 30, 2012
Full Chapters Due: January 31, 2013
Submission Date: May 15, 2013

Introduction
After successful deployment of Wi-Fi and cellular networks in the past decade, wireless and mobile communication systems became the fastest growing sectors of the communication industry. Almost all businesses which rely on wireless and mobile networks expect the same or the like level of security, privacy and trust as the ones that exist in wired networks to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of communications among terminals, networks, applications, and services. Security is of vital importance to ensure integrity of communications in wireless and mobile networks. Yet, it is very challenging to ensure security, privacy, trust and resource management because of the mobility of network nodes. The process of collecting and conveying wireless and mobile network security, privacy and trust knowledge is possible through the creation of a comprehensive book which provides current status and future trends on the topic. Unfortunately, such a collection of research on wireless and mobile network security/privacy/trust does not exist. The forthcoming book on Security, Privacy, Trust, and Resource Management in Mobile and Wireless Communications is devoted to putting together all the latest developments and rigorous studies of the foundations in these topics so that new breakthroughs and directions can be fostered. The contents of the book will provide state-of-the-art of research results and future trends related to security, privacy, trust and resource management in wireless and mobile networks including Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Worldwide interoperable Microwave Access (WiMAX) networks, Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs), cellular networks, IP-based mobile networks and security issues in mobile apps and other emerging topics such as vehicular ad hoc networks, cognitive radios networks, wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, healthcare and smart grid. This book will cover fundamental to advance concepts necessary for the grasp of current issues, challenges and solutions to future trends for wireless and mobile network in one place.

Objective of the Book
The objective of the book is to escalate the current scope of research and future trends in security, privacy, trust and resource management in wireless and mobile networks based on theoretical aspects and practical applications. This book will cover fundamental to advanced concepts necessary for the grasp of current issues, challenges and solutions to future trends in wireless and mobile networks in a single place.

Target Audience
The prospective audience of this book will serve as a reference for upper undergraduate and graduate students interested in wireless and mobile network security, privacy, trust, and resource management. It will also be used by professors teaching or researching this area, as well as by practitioners in this emerging area.
