Information assurance, security and privacy have moved from narrow topics of

  <description><![CDATA[The problem of data management has been studied widely in the field
of mobile ad-hoc networks and pervasive computing. An issue is that
finding the required data depends on chance encounter with the
source of data. Most existing research take the semantics of data
into account while caching data onto mobile devices from the wired
sources. In this work, we propose that the mobile devices decide
what to cache based on the queries they encounter. The scheme
involves a distributed techniqu...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) is an emerging technology. Despite
formidable security vulnerabilities, RFID finds applications from supply
chain management to tracking personnel. A rogue RFID reader being able to
query a RFID tag for its unique identifier or eavesdrop on the identifier is
a major security concern. One-way hashing, cryptography and one-time pads
are among some of the methods being used to secure this channel. Most of
these methods involve the use of expensive active R...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Objective. The objective is to develop a personal agent that can provide and maintain the contextual information about a user. Acting as a record-keeper, this agent tracks a user's context by acquiring information from external sources (e.g., the context brokers in different smart spaces). Acting as an information provider, this agent shares the updated context information about a user with systems that attempt to provide services to the user. 

We assume the users are willing to share ce...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The past few years have seen significant work in mobile data management, typically based on the client/proxy/server model. Mobile/wireless devices are treated as clients that are data consumers only, while data sources are on servers that typically reside on the wired network. With the advent of pervasive computing environments, an alternative scenario arises where mobile devices gather and exchange data from not just wired sources, but also from their ethereal environment and one another.

  <description><![CDATA[In computer science, policies are rules and
constraints that govern the behavior of software agents. The use of
policies makes systems more flexible by separating the declarative
components of the system from its implementation. Policies are usually
expressed in a readable declarative language that can be understood by
a human. Policy based security model defines rules for access control,
authorization, and authentication of software objects and entities,
and can be greatly beneficia...]]></description>

environments such as those enabled by the semantic web and pervasive computing technologies. The presence of heterogeneous entities that
are neither pre-determined nor permanent, and the lack of central

A fundamental issue in such situations, is that knowledge obtained from peer devices may vary in reliability with devices providing incorrect data either inadvertently out of ignorance or other limitations or intentionally in pursuit of malicious or self-serving goa...]]></description>

The volume of data produced is large, and so is the rate of the data flow.  In such scenarios, knowledge extraction boils down to finding useful information, i.e., detecting events of interest. Typical use cases where event detection is of paramount importance are surveillance, tracking, telecommunications data management, disease outburst detection, and envi...]]></description>
