2009 International Workshop on Network Assurance and Security Services in Ubiquitous Environments (NASSUE-2009) is focused on network assurance and security (NAS) measure, which has become an important research issue in ubiquitous environments (UE). The objective of this workshop is to provide an effective forum for original scientific and engineering advances in NAS issues in UE. It will highlight the various aspects of NAS - especially on the crucial linkage between availability, compliance, and security. NASSUE-2009 aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, developers, and policy makers to share and exchange ideas and to learn about latest developments, problems and solutions related to NAS issues in UE.

 

Topics (include but are not limited to the following)

 

–  Availability, dependability, survivability, & resilience issues in UE

–  Authentication and identity management in UE

–  Authorization and access-control in UE

–  Risk assessment, and management in UE
