Security News > 2011 > February > ACM CCS'11: Call for Workshop Proposals and Papers
Forwarded from: ACM CCS 2011 Dear colleagues, Please find below the Call for Workshop Proposals and Call for Papers for ACM CCS'11 (http://sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2011). Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement. Best regards, Carlos Westphall & Guofei Gu ACM CCS'11 Publicity Co-Chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM CCS 2011 --- CALL for WORKSHOP PROPOSALS Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held in conjunction with ACM CCS 2011. Each workshop provides a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of security research. A workshop must be one full day in length. Proceedings of all workshops will be available (on a CD) to the workshop attendees. Each workshop will also have on-line proceedings through ACM Digital Library, with a separate ISBN. Workshop Proposal Submission For new workshops, proposals should include: * Workshop title * A draft "Call for Papers" articulating the scope and topics covered by the workshop * A brief summary and justification for the workshop, including anticipated benefits to the ACM CCS community. * Proposed format and agenda * Expected number of submissions and acceptance rate * Expected number of attendees * Program chair(s), and, if available, tentative program committee * A one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications, including research and conference/workshop organizing experience For previously-held workshops, in addition to the above, proposals must provide the following information, for the most recent incarnation of the workshop: * Number of submissions * Number of accepted papers * Estimated number of attendees Please submit workshop proposals by email to the ACM CCS Workshop Chairs, Ninghui Li (ninghui (at) cs.purdue.edu) and Venkat Venkatakrishnan (venkat (at) uic.edu). All workshop proposals will be reviewed by the CCS Steering Committee. Proposal Evaluation Criteria * The workshop is within the scope of computer and communications security and concerns a coherent and important technical topic of high interest in the community. * Its novelty with respect to other forums, especially with respect to other CCS workshops. * Its likely impact on the target community, including likely high participation. * One of the best ways to show likely interest is to have a strong set of researchers who have agreed to serve on the PC. Important Dates * Submission deadline: February 25, 2011 (early submissions are welcome) * Decisions communicated: March 6, 2011 * CFP and Website for each workshop by March 15- 25 * Suggested workshop papers submission deadline: around July 2 * Suggested workshop papers notification: before August 10 * Workshop papers camera ready: August 25 (hard deadline) CCS Support for Workshops: If a workshop proposal is accepted, the ACM CCS workshop chairs will work closely with workshop organizers. The ACM CCS workshop chairs will try to obtain funding to support student travel awards and invited speakers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS 2011) CALL FOR PAPERS OCTOBER 17 - 21, 2011 SWISSOTEL Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA http://sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2011 The annual ACM Computer and Communications Security Conference is a leading international forum for information security researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. The conference seeks submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on all practical and theoretical aspects of computer and communications security. Papers should have relevance to the construction, evaluation, application, or operation of secure systems. Theoretical papers must make a convincing argument for the practical significance of the results. All topic areas related to computer and communications security are of interest and in scope. Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press in the conference proceedings. Outstanding papers will be invited for possible publication in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Information and System Security. Paper Submission Process Submissions must be made by the deadline of May 6, 2011, through the website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ccs2011 The review process will be carried out in two phases and authors will have an opportunity to comment on the first-phase reviews. Authors will be notified of the first-phase reviews on Monday, June 20, 2011 and can send back their comments by Thursday, June 23, 2011. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is not allowed. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference. Paper Format Submissions must be at most 10 pages in double-column ACM format (note: pages must be numbered) excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 12 pages overall. Submissions must NOT be anonymized. Only PDF or Postscript files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Tutorial Submissions Proposals for long (3-hour) and short (1.5-hour) tutorials on research topics of current and emerging interest should be submitted electronically to the tutorials chair by May 24, 2010. The guidelines for tutorial proposals can be found on the website.
