the paper titled "Secure
Distributed Agreement Protocols For Information Assurance
Applications"
SCOPE
Assured and sustained
communications between application end-points is an emerging area of
research which synergizes the fault-tolerance techniques in
communications with the performance enhancing techniques. This has
evolved into a new area of Middleware for Dependable Communications,
dealing with generic hardware/software tools and models to control
and manage communication infrastructures.
IAMCOM 2007 will thus offer a unique and focused forum for
researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas
and disseminate new results in this important area.
Bangalore is the "silicon valley" India, with a large contingent of
computer IT and communication industries (like Microsoft, IBM, HP,
Nokia, Dell, Google, CISCO, General Motors, Honeywell, Infosys,
Satyam, etc) having a substantial presence there. So, the workshop
will also give an opportunity to connect with potential attendees
from these industries.
-
IAMCOM is proud to
announce a Best Student Paper award of USD 500.
-
Around 5 to 6 student
travel grants will be awarded. Each award will average around
USD 600 each, depending on the point-of-departure of the
traveler and the mode of travel. A student must be the
presenting author of a paper in order to qualify for the award.
Please join us in Bangalore for IAMCOM 2007!
