Scope and Topics of
Symposium 11
The general systems of today are
composed of a number of components such as servers and clients, protocols,
services, and so on. Systems connected to network have become more complex and
wide, but the researches for the systems are focused on the ‘performance’ or
‘efficiency’.
While most of the attention in system
security has been focused on encryption technology and protocols for securing
the data transaction, it is critical to note that a weakness (or security hole)
in any one of the components may comprise whole system.
Security engineering is needed for
reducing security holes may be included in the software. There are very many
approaches or methods in software development or software engineering.
Therefore, more security-related researches are needed to reduce security
weakness may be included in the software and complement security-related
considerations of general software engineering.
Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to
- Approaches or methods for securing
IT products or applications,
- Approaches or methods for securing
development processes,
- Approaches or methods for securing
operational environments,
- Approaches or methods for assuring
of security countermeasures,
- Parallel use of security assurance
approaches or methods,
- Wireless network security and assurance,
-
Common criteria (CC) and protection profile (PP)

Scope and Topics of Symposium 12
Ubiquitous computing is regarded as the third wave in
computing and expanded to many computing areas. First were mainframes, each
shared by lots of people. Now we are in the personal computing era, person and
machine staring uneasily at each other across the desktop. Next may come
ubiquitous computing.
Many researchers have been researching into Ubiquitous
computing, and the research for Ubiquitous Sensor Network may be started by the
development of RFID.
The RFID technology will be the base of Ubiquitous tags or
ubiquitous sensors and has ample growth potential since it can be applied to
practically all areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Building and application of Ubiquitous computing,
- Development methodology of Ubiquitous Sensor Network,
- Application of Ubiquitous tags or ubiquitous sensors,
- Performance or efficiency of Ubiquitous computing and
sensors,
- Ubiquitous system security and assurance,
- Wireless network security and assurance

Description of the Symposium
Nanostructured materials are becoming of increasing
importance and interest, first of all because of finite-size effects, i.e., the
fact that the number of surface atoms relative to the total number of atoms is
relatively large.
As for any other material, there is a clear correlation
between structure and composition on the one side and properties on the other
side. However, theoretical studies of those are made complicated by several
issues: First, the systems of interest are finite, but large, making
electronic-structure and/or total-energy calculations computationally heavy.
Second, the systems may possess a relatively low symmetry, so that chemically
identical atoms have to be treated differently, once again
leading to an increase in the computational demands. Third,
the structure space is enormous. And fourth, the number of metastable structures
grow roughly exponentially with the size of the structure.
The symposium is devoted to the last two issues. I.e., how do
we determine the structure of the lowest total energy without biasing the
calculations "too much", but also without having to searching too large parts of
the structure space. Methods like basin hopping, genetic algorithms, molecular
dynamics/simulated annealing, and aufbau/abbau methods are some, but not
necessarily all, of those that can be included in the symposium.

Description
of the topic of the session:
Computational
Biology is a fast developing, emerging discipline in academic research and
industrial applications. In this respect Computational Biology is a large,
interdisciplinary field, combining knowledge from Computer Science, Medicine,
Biology and Mathematics.
Some of the
processes in the field of computational biology include protein structure
prediction, processing of molecular sequences, classification of DNA and protein
sequences, motif identification and many more. Due to the volume of biological
data, computationally efficient techniques are sought to provide answers, exact
or approximate, to the above problems.
This session
(as two previous sessions in ICCMSE) aims to bring together computational
biology researchers and present recent and ongoing work in the area. Topics
include, but not limited to, the following: Sequence Storage and Processing,
Protein databases, Modelling and Simulation of biological processes, Mining for
biological data, Protein classification and clustering, Tools and applications.
