The 1st FTRA International Workshop on Convergence Security in

Pervasive Environments (IWCS 2011)

Crete, Greece, June 28 - 30, 2011

http://www.ftrai.org/iwcs2011

Overview

A recent emerging issue in information technology is the convergence of

different kinds of applications. Convergence brings a user-centric

environment to provide computing and communication services. In order to

realize IT advantages, it requires the integration of security and data

management to be suitable for pervasive computing environments. However,

there are still many problems and major challenges waiting for us to

solve such as the security risks in convergence application, which could

appear when devices interact with different kinds of applications.

Therefore, we need to explore convergence security in pervasive

environments.

IWCS 2011 addresses the various theories and practical applications of

convergence security in pervasive environments. It will present

important results of significant value in order to improve application

services and solve various problems within the scope of IWCS 2011. In

addition, we expect it will trigger further related research and

technology developments that will improve our lives in the future.

Another area that must be considered in the convergence of different

security services in pervasive environments is the Internet of Things

(IoT). There are many definitions of the IoT, but all of them revolve

around the same central concept: a world-wide network of interconnected

objects. It is to be expected that the elements of a pervasive

environment will greatly benefit from Internet connectivity, as

pervasive devices will be able to interact with external entities by

obtaining services or even by providing them. However, it is necessary

to address how the different security mechanisms used in the local

pervasive environment could interact with protocols and mechanisms (e.g.

secure web services) that allow secure collaboration with remote

entities. Considering that the security of the IoT is a topic that is

currently being considered a priority by many different industrial,

commercial and governmental actors, the secure convergence of this new

paradigm with pervasive environments is a potential research field that

will be taken into account in our workshop.
