Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practices 2009:
Smart Devices, Pervasive Systems, and Ubiquitous Networks

September 2-4, 2009, Brussels, Belgium

Workshop URL: http://www.wistp.org/


*******************************************************
WISTP 2009 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.
Protecting the privacy of the user immersed in such systems is a
similarly pressing concern.

The aim of this third 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 several invited talks.

A. Smart Devices

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

*Full Papers Submission Details*

Authors are invited to submit original papers (written in english) not
previously published nor submitted in parallel for publication to any
other conference, workshop or journal. All submissions will be subjected
to thorough blind review by at least three reviewers (if the paper
involved a Program Committee member, the paper will be reviewed at least
by five reviewers). All submitted papers should be anonymous with no
author(s) names, affiliations, acknowledgments, nor obvious references.
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 10 pages long excluding
bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 14 pages long in
total, using at least 11-point fonts with reasonable margins. As the
reader should not be required to read any appendices, the paper should
be intelligible even without them.
20 papers will be accepted for presentation at the workshop (they will
be included in the proceedings) and 12 additional papers will be
selected to be presented as A1 poster at the workshop (they will NOT be
included in the Springer proceedings BUT the short papers and the
related poster version will be distributed to workshop participants in
CD-ROM formats).
If a submitted paper is mainly the result of the work of a student
author, this paper could have the chance to be selected as "Best student
paper" (even if the paper has been written with senior co-authors).
To participate to this selection process, please add the word "STUDENT"
in the affiliation field in the submission form.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with
the Conference and present the paper. For authors presenting multiple
papers, one normal registration is valid for up to two papers.
For electronic paper submission please use the following URL:

*Posters/Short Papers 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.

At submission time, please add "SP" (for "Short Paper) at the beginning
of the title field in the submission form.

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.
