Mobility Management for Networks in Motion
Previous work on mobility management in data networks have mainly dealt with solutions regarding mobility of individual hosts. Various networks layer and transport layer solutions have been developed. However, recently there has been strong interest in finding solutions for networks in motion, such as networks in an aircraft, train or ship. As they move, rather than handing off individual hosts on such a network, it is more efficient to handover the networks between access points. This results in the handoff being transparent to the hosts and less control traffic in the resource challenged wireless networks. The talk with provide an overview of the network layer based solution being developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force and compare with the end-to-end based solution (SINEMO) being developed at University of Oklahoma in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for on networks in motion. The application of networks in motion will be illustrated for both terrestrial and space environment.

PCA Research Coordinator in China
An Industrial Cloud: Integrated Operations in Oil and Gas in the Norwegian Continental Shelf
In recent years, activities in oil and natural gas drilling remain high due to economic development and demand for natural resources. A more efficient and manageable operations may ease some of the pressure and may even be environmental friendly.

OLF, a professional body and employer¡¯s association for oil and supplier companies, is heading the Integrated Operations (IO) initiative on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). IO consist of collaborative efforts in the oil and gas industry to support operational decisions about offshore installations by onshore control centres, developing common standards, integrated solutions, and new technologies. OLF has decided to use ISO-15926 as the instrument for integrating data across disciplines and business domains.

POSC Caesar Association (PCA) is the leading global, not-for-profit, standardization organization for the process industry including oil and gas, developing technology and solutions for integration of operational data processing and automatic decision making, based on ISO standards, semantic web and cloud computing technologies.
About Dr. Chunming Rong
Chunming Rong received his Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the University of Bergen in Norway in 1998. In 1995 - 1998, he was a research fellow at the University of Bergen. In 2001 - 2003, he was a Post-doc researcher funded by Simula Research Laboratory. Currently, he is a Professor and chair of the computer science section at the University of Stavanger. He serves also as an adjunct Professor at the University Graduate Centre, University of Oslo, since 2005. His research interests include computer and network security, wireless communications, semantic web technology and trusted computing.

He received ConocoPhilips Communication Award (Norway) in 2007. His paper was also awarded as Editor's Choice in Discrete Mathematics in 1999. He is an associate editor for International Journal of Computer Science & Applications (IJCSA), and served on the editorial board for International Journal of Mobile Communications (IJMC) between 2003-2006. He served as program chair (2007, Canada) and general chair (2008) of the IEEE International Symposium on Security in Networks and Distributed Systems (SSNDS). For International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC), he was award chair in 2007 (Hong Kong) and general chair in 2008 (Norway). He was general chair of the 5th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC 2008) in Norway.

Prof. Rong was chairman of the board of the Foundation of the Norwegian Computer Science Conference (NIK) in 2005-2007, is board member of the Norwegian Information Security Network (NISNet) for 2007-2011, and member of the Norwegian Informatics Council. He has also been a member of the board for the "ICT Security and Vulnerability (IKT-SoS)" Program at the Research Council of Norway. He currently also serves in the workgroup for Information Security in Integrated Operation at the Norwegian Oil Industry Association (OLF). Prof. Rong is the POSC Caesar Association Research Coordinator for China. Prof. Rong is also founder and chairman of the Cloud Computing Association (http://www.cloudcom.org).

Information Assurance in Ubiquitous Computing
The advantages of ubiquitous computing have been demonstrated in many application domains, such as healthcare, smart homes, smart classroom, homeland security, tourism, and entertainment. Many techniques, such as context/situation awareness, mobile middleware, and reconfigurable and energy-efficient hardware, have been developed to enable ubiquitous computing. One major concern that has not yet been well addressed is information assurance in ubiquitous computing. The heterogeneity, dynamicity, and context/situation awareness in ubiquitous computing have posed many challenges for information assurance in ubiquitous computing, such as distributed trust management, privacy-preservation in context/situation-aware applications, and tamper-resistant hardware. In this talk, important concepts and the current state of the art of information assurance in ubiquitous computing will first be discussed. The challenges of information assurance in ubiquitous computing and possible approaches to meet these challenges, including trust modeling and management, context/situation-aware security management, privacy-preservation in context/situation-aware computing, and trustworthy data sharing, will be discussed.
About Dr. Stephen S. Yau
Stephen S, Yau is currently the director of Information Assurance Center and a professor of computer science and engineering at Arizona State University (ASU), Tempe, Arizona, USA. He served as the chair of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at ASU in 1994-2001. Previously, he was on the faculties of Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, and University of Florida, Gainesville.

He served as the president of the Computer Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and American Federation of Information-Processing Societies (AFIPS). He was on the IEEE Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors of Computing Research Association. He served as the editor-in-chief of IEEE COMPUTER magazine, and organized many national and international major conferences, including the 1974 National Computer Conference sponsored by AFIPS, Association of Computing Machinery, IEEE Computer Society, and Society for Computer Simulation, and the 1989 World Computer Congress sponsored by International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). He founded the Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC) sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society in 1977.

His current research includes service-based systems, trustworthy computing, software engineering, mobile ad hoc networks and ubiquitous computing. He has received many awards and recognition for his accomplishments, including the Tsutomu Kanai Award and Richard E. Merwin Award of the IEEE Computer Society, the IEEE Centennial Award and Third Millennium Medal, the Outstanding Contributions Award of the Chinese Computer Federation, and the Louis E. Levy Medal of the Franklin Institute. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
