CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------

The 15th ACM ASIA Conference on Computer and Communications Security
(ACM ASIACCS 2020) 
will be held in Taipei, Taiwan from June 1-5, 2020.

https://asiaccs2020.cs.nthu.edu.tw/

 Dear Colleagues:

We cordially invite you to share your latest research results related to
computer security and privacy at the ACM ASIACCS 2020 conference.

The ASIA Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS) seeks
submissions presenting novel contributions related to all real-world
aspects of computer security and privacy. Theoretical papers must make a
convincing case for the relevance of their results to practice. Authors are
encouraged to write the abstract and introduction of their paper in a way
that makes the results accessible and compelling to a general
computer-security researcher. In particular, authors should bear in mind
that anyone on the program committee may be asked to give an opinion about
any paper.

Building on the success of ACM Conference on Computer and Communications
Security (CCS), the ACM Special Interest Group on Security, Audit, and
Control (SIGSAC) formally established the annual ACM Asia Conference on
Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS). The inaugural ASIACCS was
held in Taipei (2006). Since then ASIACCS has been held in Singapore
(2007), Tokyo (2008), Sydney (2009), Beijing (2010), Hong Kong (2011),
Seoul (2012), Hangzhou (2013), Kyoto (2014), Singapore (2015), Xi'an
(2016), Abu Dhabi (2017), Songdo (2018), and Auckland (2019).

IMPORTANT: ASIACCS 2020 will have two review cycles: the first with a
submission deadline of August 20, 2019, and the second with a submission
deadline of December 10, 2019.  Papers rejected from the first review cycle
cannot be resubmitted again (even in revised form) to the second review
cycle.

ACM ASIACCS 2020 is an important forum for researchers and industry
practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state
of art and practice of security and privacy issues, as well as to identify
emerging security research topics.

ACM ASIACCS 2020 invites submissions from academia, government, and
industry presenting novel research on all practical and theoretical aspects
of computer and communications security. Areas of interest for ASIACCS 2020
include, but are not limited to:

------------------------------------------
PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION
------------------------------------------

*-Paper Formatting*

Submissions to ASIACCS are to be written in English. Papers must be at most
12 pages including bibliography. However, a maximum of 3 additional pages
can be used for well-marked appendices. Note that appendices cannot exceed
3 pages even if the main text is less than 12 pages. Submissions must
follow the new ACM conference template, which has been updated for 2017
(Use sigconf style). Submissions should not use older ACM formats or
non-standard formatting. Submissions must be in Portable Document Format
(.pdf). Authors should devote special care that fonts, images, tables and
figures comply with common standards and do not generate problems for
reviewers. Systematization of knowledge papers need to prefix the paper
title with “SoK:”. Submissions not meeting the formatting requirements risk
rejection without consideration of their merits.

*-Submission Site*

The site for paper submission is: https://asiaccs20.hotcrp.com/. Please
read the above submission instructions before submitting the paper. If you
have any questions, please contact:  asiaccs2020_chairs@is.cs.nthu.edu.tw.

*-Anonymous Submissions*

ASIACCS is employing a double-blind reviewing process. All submissions
should be appropriately anonymized. Author names and affiliations should
not appear in the paper. Authors should avoid obvious self-references and
should appropriately blind them if used. The list of authors cannot be
changed after the acceptance decision is made unless approved by the
Program Chairs.

*-Double and Concurrent Submissions*

Submissions to ASIACCS 2020 must not substantially overlap with papers that
are published or simultaneously submitted to other venues (including
journals or conferences/workshops). Double-submission will result in
immediate rejection. Detected violations may be reported to other
conference chairs and journal editors.

*-Paper Revision and Resubmission*

Rejected papers in the August round cannot be resubmitted in the December
round. A small number of papers in the August submission round may receive
a Revise decision, rather than Accept or Reject, and may be revised and
resubmitted to the December round together with the response to reviewers'
comments. The revision may include running additional experiments,
improving the paper's presentation, or other such improvements. Papers
meeting the expectations will typically be accepted. Additional revisions
will be requested only in exceptional circumstances.
