We encourage submissions of new, interesting work on a wide variety of topics of interest, including but not limited to the following areas: * Evaluation or analysis of existing anti-censorship systems * Comparisons of existing performance-measurement tools that might be used to detect tampering (e.g., violations of "network neutrality") * Studies and findings on censorship or tampering from field deployments (e.g., what content various countries are currently censoring, the extent to which ISPs are degrading certain types of content) * Analysis of the economic impact of censorship * Metrics for deniability and robustness * Performance metrics and benchmarks for detecting content tampering or performance degradation * Detecting and measuring the censorship of search results * The design of network protocols and topologies that resist tampering or censorship * Techniques to counter mass surveillance * Policy-related issues Submissions are due by May 1, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
