CALL FOR PROPOSALS

 

2nd Workshop on Digital Rights Management Impact on Consumer Communications

January 2006

http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2006/conf_program/drm_workshop/index.htm  

Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV, USA

 

Held in conjunction with CCNC 2006 (http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2006) and the 
Consumer Electronics Show (CES)

 

Consumers and consumer electronics are increasingly using the Internet for 
distribution of digital goods, including digital versions of books, articles, 
music, and images. The ease with which digital goods can be copied and 
redistributed makes the Internet well suited for unauthorized copying, 
modification and redistribution. The rapid adoption of new technologies such as 
high-bandwidth connections, wireless networks, and peer-to-peer networks is 
accelerating this process. 

This one-day workshop on Digital Rights Management Impact on Consumer 
Communications addresses problems faced by rights holders (who seek to protect 
their intellectual property rights) and by end consumers (who seek to protect 
their privacy and to preserve access they now enjoy in traditional media 
under). 

Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems are intended to protect the rights of 
content owners in scenarios in which the participants have conflicting goals 
and are not fully trusted. This adversarial situation introduces interesting 
new twists on classical problems studied in cryptology and security research, 
such as key management and access control. Furthermore, novel security 
mechanisms can enable new business models and applications. Recent research has 
also proposed new primitives for DRM, such as hash functions that make it 
possible to identify content in an adversarial setting. 

The workshop will contain some invited presentations and presentations accepted 
by open submission. The format will be a series of presentations held in a 
panel/forum type of environment to encourage interaction and discussion of 
topics and issues. 

The workshop seeks workshop proposal submissions (consisting of a paper) on all 
theoretical and practical aspects of DRM, as well as experimental studies of 
fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below:

  

*       
        DRM protocols 
*       
        architectures for DRM systems 
*       
        interoperability 
*       
        auditing 
*       
        business models for online content distribution 
*

        Implementations and case studies

Guidelines for Submission

Interested participants should submit a paper (see 
http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2006/author_info/index.htm for submission guidelines) 
describing their proposed topic. This paper should define the specific problem 
being addressed, describe the novelty of the solution to the problem and/or the 
issues surrounding the problem. The paper should be used as the basis for a 
20-30 minute Workshop presentation. Accepted papers will be published in the 
conference proceedings.  

1.      Submit an electronic copy of the paper in a .pdf or .ps format by 
selecting CCNC'06 at the EDAS paper submission site (http://edas.info 
<http://edas.info/> ).

2.      A separate cover sheet should show the title of the paper, the 
author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, 
telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.
