CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER

Title: Handbook of Research on Wireless Security
Publisher: Idea Group Reference, USA (http://www.idea-group-ref.com)
Further information:
http://yanzhangsg.googlepages.com/WirelessSecurityCFP.html

Background & Goal
=================
Security, defined as ensuring protected communication among terminals,
networks and services, is one of the most significant components in wireless
systems. Both architectures and protocols on security have been extensively
studied in academics and industries. This handbook aims to provide a
comprehensive guide on security-related subjects in the wireless
communication field, and it will be a valuable reference for students,
instructors, researchers, engineers and strategists in this field.

Coverage
========
Wireless security is explored with various challenges in diverse
environments and standards, such as authentication, encryption, key
distribution and management, etc. This handbook will feature chapters
(5,000-7,500 words) and provide an in-depth description of terminologies and
concepts related to security in various wireless systems. This handbook will
be written by the leading experts in the field from both academics and
industries.

Recommended Topics include, but are not limited to:
===================================================
Security in mobile ad hoc networks
Security in peer-to-peer networks
Security in Wireless Mesh Networking
Security in Wireless Sensor Network
Security in Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Security in Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
Security in Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN)
Security in Wireless Wide Area Network (WAN)
Security in GSM, GPRS
Security in UMTS, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA
Security in B3G, 4G
Security in Bluetooth and WiMAX
Security in IEEE 802.x families
Security in wireless multimedia systems
Security architecture in heterogeneous networks
Secure PHY/MAC/routing protocols
Secure group communication/multicast
Secure cross-layer protocols

Secure service discovery
Testbed, prototype, practical system and case studies

Submission Guidelines
=====================
Chapter proposals should clearly outline the purpose and organization of the
chapter. Upon acceptance of chapter proposals, authors will be sent chapter
guidelines. Drafts of chapters must be between 5,000-7,500 words and include
7-10 related terms and their appropriate definitions. All chapters will
undergo a double-blind peer review. This book is tentatively scheduled for
publishing by Idea Group Reference (http://www.idea-group.com/reference/),
an imprint of Idea Group Inc. in early 2008.

Important Dates
===============
31 October, 2006: Proposal due
31 December, 2006: Draft of chapter due
30 April, 2007: Notification of chapter acceptance
Early of 2008: Publication of handbook
