T1:
Wireless/Mobile Network Security
By:
S.R. Subramanyai, University of Missouri.
Abstract:
The proliferation of wireless and mobile communication
networks have resulted in an explosion of the data transmissions
over such networks. Increasingly more sensitive and
strategic data are expected to transmitted over such
networks in the near future. However, wireless and mobile
networks have several severe constraints that make them
vulnerable for attacks from a variety sources. This
calls for adapting several current security techniques
and development of newer techniques to provide the required
security. This tutorial is intended to give a good overview
of: (a) the principles and practices of various aspects
traditional network security, (b) the issues in mobile
and wireless security, and (c) techniques and applications
of mobile and wireless security.

T2:
Resource and Mobility Management in Next Generation
Wireless Systems
By:
Sajal Das, University of Texas at Arlington.
Abstract:
The desire for ubiquitous access to information while
``on the move" characterizes an entirely new computing
paradigm, called `mobile wireless computing'. This emerging
field has the potential to dramatically change the society
as users become untethered from their information sources
and communication media. The driving forces are the
wide availability of hand-held devices (laptop/palmtop
computers, pocket PCs, PDAs, etc.), rapidly emerging
next generation (3G/4G) wireless systems such as UMTS,
IMT-2000, wireless Internet, as well as the tremendous
advent of wireless access technologies like GSM/GPRS.
Cdma2000, PCS1900, wireless LANs, Bluetooths, and so
on. To support multimedia (audio, video, text) traffic
over next generation wireless networks and to provide
global seamless roaming capability is, however, an extremely
challenging task. Killer applications include news-on-demand,
video-on-demand, web browsing, traveler information,
health monitoring, or tele-medicine services over wireless
to the mobile users. Besides efficent management of
scare resources like wireless bandwidth, there exist
numerous mobility-induced networking issues that need
to be solved. For example, dynamic network topology
management, location (mobility) management, wireless
data networking, QoS provisioining, mobile Internet
architectures/protocols, mobile databases, disconnections
handling, or mobile data security are some of these
important problems. This tutorial aims at bringing out
the research and technological challenges in the resource
and mobility management in next generation heterogeneous
wireless systems. It will also provide some emerging
solutions for this problem to support wireless data
networking.
The Presenter:
Dr. Sajal K. Das received B.Tech. degree in 1983 from
Calcutta University, M.S. degree in 1984 from Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore, and PhD degree in 1988

T3:
Semantic Web and Ontologies
By:
Raphael Volz, University of Karlsruhe
Abstrcat:
Tutorial Summary : Recently there is a rapidly increasing
interest in the "Semantic Web". The Semantic
Web is a vision: the idea of having content on the web
defined and linked in a way, that it can be interpreted
by machines - not just for display purposes, but for
using it in various applications. Ontologies provide
the conceptual backbone for the Semantic Web by giving
a semantic characterization of the content. Ontologies
also enjoy popularity in application areas such as e-Commerce,
Knowledge and Content Management, Information Integration,
Bio Science and intelligent e-Services. The goal of
this tutorial is to acquaint the audience with the basics
of Semantic Web technologies having a particular focus
on ontologies:
1. What are the technological foundations
of the Semantic Web?
2. How are ontologies represented?
3. How are ontologies engineered?
4. What are application scenarios for Ontologies and
Semantic Web technologies?
It is the objective of this tutorial to
communicate to the audience a comprehensive picture
of the Semantic Web. The audience will learn which role
ontologies and Semantic Web technologies may play in
future Web-based information systems.
Tutorial Objectives: It is the
goal of this tutorial to teach the audience about means
for building and driving ontologybased Semantic Web
applications. In order to do this, the audience will
learn about Semantic Web standards and how to represent,
engineer and use ontologies in Semantic Web applications.
In particular, we want to give the audience an overall
view of the subject. Thus, database and web researchers
will learn about how their work (e.g. conceptual modeling,
web information systems, semi-structured data) relates
and contributes to ontology-based applications. A special
focus will be set on Semantic Web applications.
Tutorial Content: In the structure
of the tutorial we will follow the four building blocks
mentioned in the summary: technological foundations,
ontology representation, ontology engineering, and SemanticWeb
applications. During the tutorial particular topics
will be related to widely-known results of research
in databases and web engineering.
Target Audience: The tutorial is
aimed at ² practitioners who want to learn about
the potential benefit of Semantic Web technologies and
ontologies for their systems and the way to put the
technologies into practice, and ² researchers who
want to get a complete picture of current work and research
in ontologies and Semantic Web and the potential contribution
of their research for the development of the Semantic
Web.
The Presenter:
Raphael Volz is a research assistant in applied computer
science at the University of Karlsruhe. He has taught
classes about the Semantic Web, Intelligent Systems
and Web technologies. He is currently involved in several
international research projects on the Semantic Web
and was in charge of the architecture of a large Semantic
Web based portal: www.ontoweb.org. He is also active
in the standardization of the Web ontology language
(OWL) with the W3C. Raphael Volz studied informatics
and life sciences at the Universities of Heidelberg
and Karlsruhe. Visiting the Information Technologies
Research Lab of Swiss Life, Zuerich, he wrote his master
thesis on the acquisition of ontologies using Text-Mining.
His current research interest is the intersection of
traditional database theory and Semantic Web techologies.
Raphael published over 30 papers in refereed journals,
conferences and workshops and has held a number of invited
talks on ontologies, i.e., at the UN FAO, Rome and HP
Labs, and Stanford.
T4:
Complex Event Processing in Distributed Enterprise Systems
By:
David Luckham, Stanford University
Abstract:
The enterprise information technology (IT) infrastructure
has been called "an eventdriven nervous system".
Complex Event Processing (CEP) is an emerging technology
for coping in realtime with the tasks of managing the
IT infrastructures of large electronic enterprises.
This includes a spectrum of management tasks such as
effective control of eBusiness supply chains, monitoring
internet-based enterprise collaborations by means of
high level business events, autonomous regulation of
eMarketplaces, and Cyber defense of our national IT
infrastructure. At present we do none of these tasks
well. And effective solutions to any of them present
an enormous business opportunity. All of these management
tasks have in common the need to aggregate high level
intelligence from the lower layers of the enterprise
nervous system. CEP is a technology to track causality
between events, and to aggregate complex high level
events from sets of lower level events. CEP enables
us to understand easily what activities are taking place
in our IT systems. That is, understand how those activities
will affect critical functionality of the enterprise.
Only then can we take effective action, or succinctly
and correctly express automated rules to manage the
electronic enterprise. This tutorial will cover the
basic concepts of CEP, including (i) the need for new
technologies to manage the electronic enterprise, (ii)
basic events and complex events, (iii) relationships
of time, causality, independence and aggregation between
events, (iv) hierarchical structure in enterprises and
how to precisely define corresponding complex event
hierarchies, (v) event pattern languages and rules,
(vi) applying event hierarchies to enterprise management.
Illustrative examples will be given of causal event
analysis in eBusiness processing and in Cyber defense,
and the use of event pattern constraints in hierarchical
viewing of the conformance of activity within the enterprise
to its policies.
