Workshop Expansion
Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (SP) has been the premier forum for the presentation of developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field.

In order to further expand the opportunities for scientific exchanges, we created a new venue within the IEEE CS Technical Committee on Security and Privacy called Security and Privacy Workshops (SPW). The typical purpose of such a workshop is to cover a specific aspect of security and privacy in more detail, making it easy for the participants to attend IEEE SP and a specialized workshop at IEEE SPW with just one trip. Furthermore, the co-location offers synergies for the organizers. Historically, we have had some workshops (e.g. W2SP, SADFE) co-located with IEEE SP the last few years; the success and popularity of these workshops has led to us formalizing the process and expanding our scope.

Instructions for workshop submissions
Workshop submissions should be sent to spw-chair@ieee-security.org.

Workshop proposal early submissions due: June 15, 2011
Early acceptance decision: June 30, 2011


A second round of proposals will be considered in August on a space available basis:

Workshop proposal submissions due: August 15, 2011
Acceptance decision: August 30, 2011


There will be some interaction in deciding upon and setting up a workshop, but the initial proposal should already contain as much as possible of the following information:
  • Contact information of the workshop organizer.
  • Date (Thursday, May 24, or Friday, May 25) and expected length of the workshop (up to 2 days).
  • Technical proposal (1 page minimum): Topics to be addressed; importance of these topics; preliminary call for papers/posters/contributions; preliminary program committee; proposed review process.
  • Publication policy: Workshop with or without official proceedings; potential publication via web, technical report, or electronic media. Note that IEEE is explicitly not responsible for the publication of proceedings.
  • Expected number of participants and other local meeting issues, such as the special requirements/equipment for the meeting room.
  • Biographies of workshop organizer(s), including workshop organization experience.
All workshops associated with IEEE SPW will be under the financial and legal responsibility of the IEEE Computer Society. This has great advantages for organizers, e.g., with respect to risk coverage and insurance, but also brings some requirements. The SPW organizing committee can help you with the following: meeting rooms at the conference hotel, collection of advance workshop registration fees, budgeting assistance, interaction with the IEEE, and linking to the workshop web pages from the main SPW web pages. All the actual running of the workshop remains the responsibility of the workshop organizers. If you are interested, we will send you a more detailed list of the responsibilities, meeting room options, etc., and would hope to jointly set up a successful workshop.
