*******************************************************
WISTP2008 Background and Goals:
With the rapid technological development of information technologies and
with the transition from the common to the next generation networks,
computer systems and especially embedded systems are becoming more
mobile and ubiquitous, increasingly interfacing with the physical world.
Ensuring the security of these complex and yet, resource constraint
systems has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges. Another
important challenge is related to the convergence of these new
technologies.
The aim of this second workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners in related areas and to encourage interchange and
cooperation between the research community and the industrial/consumer
community.
The workshop will consist of technical paper presentations, one special
session for student papers and six invited talks.
Poster presentations will take place parallel to the workshop sessions.
Nevertheless a slot will be dedicated to posters presentations.

Submission Details:

Authors are invited to submit proposals (written in english) for poster
presentations of recent results, work in progress, and new ideas. The
submission should be a short paper and it should be no longer than 4
pages.

Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work as a
poster during a special session of the workshop and in parallel to the
workshop sessions.
Accepted short papers and the related poster version will be distributed
to workshop participants in CD-ROM formats.

Each paper should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of
keywords, following the template indicated by Springer at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
The papers will be in .pdf format, at most 4 pages using at least
11-point fonts with reasonable margins.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with
the workshop and present the paper. For authors presenting multiple
papers, one normal registration is valid for up to two short papers.

Opportunities for students:
To help the students looking for a PhD thesis or a postdoctoral
position, we will propose them to add a colorized sticker on their
badge. In the same way, we will propose to persons offering these
positions to add a sticker with a different color. We hope this
mechanism will help to support the exchanges between young and senior
researchers.
