The Evolution of a Conference: A Message from the Program Chairs

Since the inception of the Information Systems (IS) discipline scholars have questioned and debated what constitutes the domain of IS research. Diversity is not simply desirable it is essential for a discipline that demands understanding of both information technology and contexts of application. The pervasive use of information technology, throughout the economy and society, together with the volatility in interest and support for the discipline, have made the defining of the domain of IS more than just of academic interest. For ACIS for 2009 we seek not to look back at what the IS domain has been, but to look forward to what it is to become. We seek to examine the definition of the IS discipline not by reflecting on where the IS discipline came from, but by exhibiting research at the forefront of where the discipline is heading into the future

Liaison Preface

The ECI-SUS XIV Conference in Nong Nouch Gardens, Pataya, Thailand had been a very successful one in that - longest running series - for more than four decades. Many thanks to the chairs Matthias Beisler and Preedee Ngarmsantikul and all the presenters as well as to the participants - pretty international again and resprensenting the mix of stake holders. The involvement of ITA - by a greeting message of the past president and former chair Tarcisio Celestino - and the national TUTG-society was most welcome. The main focus of SHOTCRETE with its elements like research, design, materials, equipment etc. were presented and in addition a special session - regarding energy . Personally I also do want to underline the perfect and outstanding overall run of that conference, presenting an insight in Thai-culture - many thanks to the local organizers including the people of Nong Nouch Gardens.

Enhanced Position Verification for VANETs using Subjective Logic

The integrity of messages in vehicular ad-hoc networks has been extensively studied by the research community, resulting in the IEEE~1609.2 standard, which provides typical integrity guarantees. However, the correctness of message contents is still one of the main challenges of applying dependable and secure vehicular ad-hoc networks. One important use case is the validity of position information contained in messages: position verification mechanisms have been proposed in the literature to provide this functionality. A more general approach to validate such information is by applying misbehavior detection mechanisms. In this paper, we consider misbehavior detection by enhancing two position verification mechanisms and fusing their results in a generalized framework using subjective logic. We conduct extensive simulations using VEINS to study the impact of traffic density, as well as several types of attackers and fractions of attackers on our mechanisms. The obtained results show the proposed framework can validate position information as effectively as existing approaches in the literature, without tailoring the framework specifically for this use case.Comment: 7 pages, 18 figures, corrected version of a paper submitted to 2016 IEEE 84th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2016-Fall): revised the way an opinion is created with eART, and re-did the experiments (uploaded here as correction in agreement with TPC Chairs

Error resilience analysis of wireless image transmission using JPEG, JPEG 2000 and JPWL

The wireless extension of the JPEG 2000 standard formally known as JPWL is the newest international standard for still image compression. Different from all previous standards, this new standard was created specifically for wireless imaging applications. This paper examines the error resilience performance of the JPEG, JPEG 2000 and JPWL standards in combating multi-path and fading impairments in Rayleigh fading channels. Comprehensive objective and subjective results are presented in relation to the error resilience performance of these three standards under various conditions. The major findings in this paper reveal that a CRC approach is not a viable option for protecting wireless image data when not used in conjunction with an efficient retransmission strategy. In addition, the Reed-Solomon error correction codes in JPWL provide strong protection for wireless image transmission. However, any stronger protection beyond RS(64,32) yields diminishing returns
