[Om-announce] IEEE CNS 2016 Call for Participation

[Shui Yu]

*IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS) 17-19
October 2016, Philadelphia, PA USA.*



*Early registration ends on September 23, 2016.*



IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) is a
conference series in IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) core conference
portfolio and the only ComSoc conference focusing solely on cyber security.
IEEE CNS is also a spin-off of IEEE INFOCOM, the premier ComSoc conference
on networking. The goal of CNS is to provide an outstanding forum for cyber
security researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and users to exchange
ideas, techniques and tools, raise awareness, and share experience related
to all practical and theoretical aspects of communications and network
security.



*Two exciting keynotes and two technology-oriented panels:*



*Keynotes:*



*- Speaker 1: Dr. Don Towsley, Professor, University of Massachusetts
Amherst*







*Don Towsley holds a B.A. in Physics (1971) and a Ph.D. in Computer Science

He has received numerous paper awards including the 2012 ACM SIGMETRICS
Test-of-Time Award and a 2008 SIGCOMM Test-of-Time Paper Award, and the
1998 IEEE Communications Society William Bennett Best Paper Award. Last, he
has been elected Fellow of both the ACM and IEEE.*



*- Speaker 2: Dr. Cliff Wang, Division Chief of Computing Sciences, US Army
Research Office*



*Dr. Cliff Wang graduated from North Carolina State University with a PhD
in computer engineering in 1996. He has been carrying out research in the
area of computer vision, medical imaging, high speed networks, and most
recently information security. He has authored over 40 technical papers and
3 Internet standards RFCs. Dr. Wang also authored/edited for 13 books in
the area of information security and hold 3 US patents on information
security system development. Since 2003, Dr. Wang has been managing
extramural research portfolio on information assurance at US Army Research
Office. In 2007 he was selected as the director of the computing sciences
division at ARO while in the same time managing his program in cyber
security. For the past ten years, Dr. Wang managed over $100M research
funding which led to significant technology breakthroughs. Dr. Wang also
holds adjunct faculty position at both Department of Computer Science and
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State
University.*
