Topics of Interest

EuroSec seeks contributions on all aspects of systems security. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Operating systems security
• Web/network/distributed systems security
• New attacks and evasion techniques
• Hardware architectures
• Trusted computing and its applications
• Identity management, anonymity
• Small trusted computing bases
• Mobile systems security
• Measuring security
• Malicious code analysis and detection
• Systems-based forensics
• Systems work on fighting spam/phishing

In accordance with the spirit of the EuroSys conference, we also seek:

• Quantified or insightful experience with existing systems
• Reproduction or refutation of previous results
• Negative results
• Early ideas

EuroSec explicitly encourages members of the systems community to explore leading-edge topics and ideas before they are presented at a major conference. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Only original, novel work will be considered for publication. Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of EuroSec in the ACM Digital Library.

You are hereby invited to submit papers of up to 6 pages, with 10-point font, in a two-column format (including figures, tables and references). The format of submitted papers should correspond to our LaTeX style file. Instructions for the submissions can be found at http://www.iseclab.org/eurosec-2010.

Important dates

• Paper submission: February 7, 2010 (Hard deadline, no extensions), 5pm, PST
• Acceptance notification: March 1, 2010
• Final paper due: March 12, 2010
• Workshop: April 13, 2010

The 5th European Conference on Computer Network Defence will take place in November 2009 at the Politecnico di Milano technical university in Milano, Italy.

The theme of the conference is the protection of computer networks. The conference will draw participants from academia and industry in Europe and beyond to discuss hot topics in applied network and systems security.

EC2ND invites submissions presenting novel ideas at an early stage with the intention to act as a discussion forum and feedback channel for promising, innovative security research. While our goal is to solicit ideas that are not completely worked out, and might have challenging and interesting open questions, we expect submissions to be supported by some evidence of feasibility or preliminary quantitative results.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Intrusion Detection
• Denial-of-Service
• Privacy Protection
• Security Policy
• Peer-to-Peer and Grid Security
• Network Monitoring
• Web Security
• Vulnerability Management and Tracking
• Network Forensics
• Wireless and Mobile Security
• Cryptography
• Network Discovery and Mapping
• Incident Response and Management
• Malicious Software
• Web Services Security
• Legal and Ethical Issues

The conference will be technically co-sponsored by the IEEE ComputerSociety – Italy Chapter .

Submitting a Paper

You are hereby invited to submit papers up to 6-8 pages, 8.5″ x 11″, two-column format. We particularly encourage position papers on preliminary work that shows promise, rather than mature and well-polished papers. Surprising results and thought-provoking ideas will be strongly favored. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee . Authors of accepted papers will be given the optionof including their paper in the proceedings of the conference.

We suggest you to format your paper according to IEEE-CS guidelines .

The conference seeks submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of computer and communications security, as well as case studies and implementation experiences. 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 topics related to computer and communications security are of interest. Authors interested in submitting but unsure if their topic is in scope should assume that it probably is in scope but should contact the program chairs if further guidance is desired.

Submissions must be made to the submission web site,  by the deadline of April 14, 2008. Submitted papers may not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference.

Submissions must be at most ten pages in double-column ACM format (note: pages must be numbered), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices and at most 12 pages overall. Committee members are not required to read appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be anonymized (an author’s name should only occur in references to that author’s related work, which should be referenced in the third person and not overtly distinguishable from the referenced work of others). Only pdf or postscript files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press in a conference proceedings. Outstanding papers will be invited for possible publication in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Information and System Security. Final proceedings versions will be 10 pages in double-column ACM format; although authors will have the option of buying a limited number of additional pages.

Important Dates.

• Paper submission due: April 14, 2008
• Acceptance notification: July 8, 2008
• Final papers due: August 10, 2008

Organization

• General Chair:
  • Peng Ning (North Carolina State University)
