CFP: BICT 2014 Special Track on Bio-inspired Wireless Network Security (BWNS)
8th International Conference on Bio-inspired Information and Communications Technologies (formerly BIONETICS)
December 1 (Mon) - December 3, 2014 (Wed)
Boston, MA, USA

In-corporation with ACM SIGSIM
Now a day having flexible anytime and anywhere communication ability is very important. Therefore applications of cooperative wireless communications such as mobile ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, body area networks and vehicular communication are needed for making this overall communication available. However, realization of this aim tied closely to the security provision task. Characteristics such as increased complexity with large scaled networks, dynamic topology, absence of infrastructure and centralized control pose significant challenges to security provision in these environments. Biologically inspired systems stand as promising solutions for these challenges due to the similarities between networking and biological systems. Some similarity is the presence of unpredictable behavior in wireless ad-hoc environments that makes the security provision a complex challenging task.
The objective of the special track on Bio-inspired Wireless Network Security (BWNS) is to provide an opportunity to join researchers for exchanging novel ideas and exploring and discussing the state of the art in the area of wireless network security approaches based on biological phenomena.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to
- Bio-inspired distributed and cooperative security solutions
- Bio-inspired autonomous key management
- Bio-inspired secure routing
- Bio-inspired optimization techniques in wireless network security provision
- Bio-inspired self-healing architecture for ad-hoc networks
- Bio-inspired anomaly detection
- Bio-inspired soft security mechanisms (trust and reputation systems)
- Bio-inspired robustness and survivability
Bio-inspired techniques of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Swarm intelligent and social insects
- Artificial immune system
- Neural networks
- Evolutionary genetic algorithm
- Game theory
- Social networks
Moreover, this special track covers emerging topics in "biologically-enabled" security as well as biologically-inspired security. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
- Biometric identification and authentication
- Biometric identifiers based on physiological, behavioral and other characteristics
- Cancelable/expirable and soft biometrics
- Bio-enabled multi-factor authentication
- Privacy in biometrics
