****************************************************************************

The World Congress on Internet Security (WorldCIS-2012)
is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE UK/RI Computer Chapter
and IEEE K/W Section. The WorldCIS-2012 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.

On the ubiquitous networking environments, information is explosively
used for various kinds of purposes. From a service perspective, a number
of context or ambient aware services are envisaged for "ubiquitous
networking" but based on the context security remains an issue.

The objectives of the WorldCIS are to bridge the knowledge
gap between academia and industry, promote research esteem
and and to fostering discussions on information technologies,
information systems and globa security applications.
The WorldCIS-2012 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-2012 include but are not confined
to the following areas:

*Internet Security
*Security, trust and privacy
*Self-organizing networks
