SelfNet 2016 - Workshop on Security in Self-Organizing Networks (SelfNet'16)

In recent years huge number of new wireless applications have been developed and deployed to facilitate communication and to help people in their everyday lives. However, wireless networks are only as good as the information they produce. Due to the fact that individual nodes in the network communicate by radio, wireless self-organizing networks such as mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), Wireless sensor networks (WSN), Wireless mesh networks (WMN), Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) are inherently vulnerable to security attacks.
The main goal of International Workshop on Security in Self-Organizing Networks (SelfNet) is to bring together researchers and practitioners in an attempt to identify the fundamental security challenges and future prospects. Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review, are solicited. The first two editons of SelfNet (2012 & 2014) were co-located with the International Conference on Security in Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SNDS).
All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. Acceptance of papers will be communicated to authors by email. All accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Further instructions for submission are posted at http://acn-conference.org/sscc2016/submission.html
