Trust and Digital Rights Management in Wireless Multimedia Networks and Systems


Call for Papers


With the widespread infusion of digital technologies and the ensuing ease of digital content transport over the Internet, multimedia
data distribution is experiencing exponential growth. The use of emerging technologies and systems based on wireless networks has
further facilitated the ubiquitous presence of multimedia data. These rapid advances are neither without cost nor without negative
impact. With the increasing sophistication and ubiquity of sharing and dissemination of data over a plethora of networks, the
complexity and challenges of untrustworthy behavior as well as cyber attacks may grow significantly.
Moreover, the emerging unstructured, mobile, and ad hoc nature of today's heterogeneous network environment is leading to problems
such as the exploitation of resources due to selfish and malicious behavior by users and their agents in the networks.

Trust and digital rights management (DRM) of data and the underlying systems and networks have therefore become of critical concern.
Moreover, satisfying users' quality of service (QoS) requirements while implementing trust and DRM mechanisms may overburden the
already resource constrained wireless networks.

The objective of this solicitation is to encourage cutting edge research in trust and digital rights management in wireless networks
and systems.
Dissemination of research results in formulating the trust and DRM issues, and emerging solutions in terms of technologies,
protocols, architecture, and models are expected to contribute to the advancement of this field in a significant way. Topics of
interests include but are not limited to:

*       DRM issues (copyright protection, tracking, tracing,
fingerprinting, authentication, concealment, privacy, access control,
etc.) in wireless multimedia 

*       Wireless multimedia traffic modeling, analysis, and management 

*       Tradeoff between QoS, security, dependability, and
performability requirements 

*       Context, behavior, and reputation specification, modeling,
identification, and management 

*       Trust and DRM models, architectures, and protocols 

*       Trust and DRM in applications (telemedicine, ubiquitous
commerce, etc.) 

*       Trust and DRM in wireless ad hoc, mesh, sensor and heterogeneous
networks 

*       Trust and DRM technologies for wireless multimedia (digital
watermarking, encryption, coding, and compression, and their interplay) 
*       Test beds for experimental evaluation of trust and DRM models.
