USENIX HealthSec '11 Call for Papers Now Available

2011-02-09 07:28

Forwarded from: Lionel Garth Jones On behalf of the 2nd USENIX Workshop on Health Security and Privacy (HealthSec '11) program committee, we invite you to submit innovative papers covering all aspects of healthcare information security and privacy. The focus of HealthSec '11 is the exploration of security and privacy issues that arise from the exploding quantity of digital personal health information, in both the provider and the patient settings. The Program Commitee strongly encourages cross-disciplinary interactions between fields, including, but not limited to, technology, medicine, and policy. Surprising results and thought-provoking ideas will be strongly favored; complete papers with polished results in well-explored research areas are comparatively discouraged. We will select position papers that show potential to stimulate or catalyze further research and explorations of new directions, as well as extended abstracts that explore a specific issue a little more deeply, including preliminary results. Position papers are solicited on topics in all areas relating to healthcare information security and privacy, including: * Security and privacy models for healthcare information systems * Industry experience in securing healthcare information systems * Design and deployment of patient-oriented systems for securely accessing and managing personal health data * Security and privacy threats against existing and future medical devices--and countermeasures * Regulatory and policy issues of healthcare information systems * Privacy of medical information * Usability issues, especially combined with security constraints * Threat models for healthcare information systems Submissions are due April 5, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. UTC (7:59 p.m. EDT). For submission guidelines and more information, please see the complete Call for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/healthsec11/cfpa/ HealthSec '11 will be co-located with the 20th USENIX Security Symposium (USENIX Security '11), which will take place August 10-12, 2011. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
