Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues and students. Thanks! FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS, EXTENDED ABSTRACTS, POSTERS, WORKSHOPS, TUTORIALS AND SPECIAL TRACKS! ******************************************************** World Congress on Internet Security (WorldCIS-2015) Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE UK/RI Computer Chapter October 19-21, 2015 Venue: Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge Dublin, Ireland www.worldcis.org ******************************************************** The WorldCIS-2015 is an international forum dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practical implementation of security on the Internet and Computer Networks. The inability to properly secure the Internet, computer networks, protecting the Internet against emerging threats and vulnerabilities, and sustaining privacy and trust has been a key focus of research. The WorldCIS aims to provide a highly professional and comparative academic research forum that promotes collaborative excellence between academia and industry. The objectives of the WorldCIS are to bridge the knowledge gap between academia and industry, promote research esteem and to fostering discussions on information technologies, information systems and global security applications. The WorldCIS-2015 invites speakers and researchers to submit papers that encompass conceptual analysis, design implementation and performance evaluation. Original papers are invited on recent advances in Internet, Computer Communications and Networking Security. The topics in WorldCIS-2015 include but are not confined to the following areas: *Internet Security *Security, trust and privacy *Self-organizing networks *Sensor nets and embedded systems *Service overlays *Switches and switching *Topology characterization and inference *Traffic measurement and analysis *Traffic engineering and control *Trust and Data Security *Virtual and overlay networks *Web services and performance *Wireless mesh networks and protocols *Ad hoc mobile networks Security *Addressing and location management *Broadband access technologies *Blended Internet Security Methods *Biometrics *Boundary Issues of Internet Security *Capacity planning *Cellular and broadband wireless nets *Congestion control *Content distribution *Cryptography *Cross layer design and optimization *Cyber-physical computing/networking *Geographic information systems *Privacy Protection and Forensic in Ubi-com *Quality of Service Issues *Regulations *Secured Database Systems *Security in Data Mining *Security and Access Control *Semantic Web and Ontology *Data management for U-commerce *Software Architectures *Defence Systems *Delay/disruption tolerant networks *End Users *Enabling technologies for the Internet *Implementation and experimental testbeds *Future Internet Design and Applications *Middleware support for networking *Mobility models and systems *Multicast and anycast *Multimedia protocols and networking *Network applications and services *Network architectures Network control *Network management *Network simulation and emulation *Novel network architectures *Network and Protocol Architectures *Peer-to-peer communications *Performance evaluation *Power control and management *Pricing and billing *Protocols and Standards *Resource allocation and management *RFID *Optical networks *Routing protocols *Scheduling and buffer management *Virtual Reality SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: * You can submit your research paper at http://www.worldcis.org/Paper%20Submission.html or email your paper to papers(a)worldcis.org IMPORTANT DATES: * Extended Abstract (Work in Progress) Submission Date: September 01, 2015 * Notification of Abstract and Extended Abstract (Work in Progress) Acceptance/Rejection: September 05, 2015 * Research Paper, Student Paper, Case Study, Report Submission Date: September 10, 2015 * Notification of Research Paper, Student Paper, Case Study, Report Acceptance /Rejection: September 15, 2015 * Proposal for Workshops Submission Date: September 05, 2015 * Notification of Workshop Acceptance/Rejection: September 10, 2015 * Posters Proposal Submission Date: September 05, 2015 * Notification of Posters Acceptance/Rejection: September 10, 2015 * Camera Ready Paper Due: September 30, 2015 * Early Bird Registration (Authors and Participants): April 1, 2015 - September 22, 2015 * Late Bird Registration Deadline (Authors only): September 23, 2015 - October 01, 2015 * Late Bird Registration Deadline (Participants only): September 23, 2015 - October 18, 2015 * Conference Dates: October 19-21, 2015 For further details, please visit conference website www.worldcis.org

*When:* Aug. 13, 2015, 7 p.m. *Where:* Braintree *new* HQ Merchandise Mart 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza 8th Floor Chicago, IL 60654 - *Data Games in Python* (0:20:00 Minutes) By: C. S. Schroeder There has been recent work on the taxonomy of games which are based, one way or another, on real world data. Typically these games help people learn that data or how to cope with it. The traditional examples are simulation games (flight, driving, etc.), while other games incorporate data in such a way that it is beneficial to learn the real world data in the game play (trivia). These types of data-games commonly have a domain specific focus. We intend to explore the possibility of interactive games which help people to learn data analysis, in general, implementing some such games in python using web2py and Scipy. - *Automating a fishtank with python and IoT sensors* (1:00:00 Minutes) By: Benjamin Chodroff Fish tanks are simple enough that even a child can maintain them. I don't have children yet to maintain my tank, but luckily my very patient wife has allowed me to explore over engineering a solution. In this talk we'll explore how python scripts running on a Raspberry Pi can be used to measure and control many aspects of maintaining a fish tank or any number of IOT applications. A demo of the hardware connectivity will be shown which includes an Atlas Scientific pH meter, digital submerged temperature probe, liquid flow meter, liquid level sensor, video camera, and an eight channel relay controlling 12V DC water and 120V AC CO2 gas solenoids, peristaltic dosing pumps, and lighting. A live python coding demo with sample scripts will show how to connect to the serial devices and control the analog and digital hardware. We will broadcast the measured data and hardware states using the Eclipse Paho MQTT python client with the IBM IoT Foundation on BlueMix or IBM MessageSight to create a dashboard using a Javascript MQTT client and Freeboard.io. Finally, we'll create a linux script which allows the attached RaspiCam to live stream a HD video to Google's Youtube Live so the whole world can see. - *Keep calm and conda install* (0:20:00 Minutes) By: Jonathan J. Helmus Conda is a cross platform, package management system widely used in the scientific and data science Python communities. Although designed for Python packages, conda can be used to package and distribute software written in any language. This talk will cover how to use conda to install and manage scientific packages as well as how conda can be used to create isolated Python environment similar to virtualenv. Conda’s use within the Anaconda and Miniconda Python distributions will be discussed as an easy method for obtaining a full featured SciPy stack. Instructions on building packages with conda and hosting them on Anaconda.org will be covered briefly. RSVP Http://chipy.org -- Brian Ray @brianray (773) 669-7717
