Call For Papers/Panels/Workshops 21st IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF) Pittsburgh, PA, USA, June 23-25, 2008 Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Security and Privacy of the IEEE Computer Society CSF 2008 website: http://www.cylab.cmu.edu/CSF2008/ CSF home page: http://www.ieee-security.org/CSFWweb/ CSF CFP: http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~andrei/CSF08/cfp.html The IEEE Computer Security Foundations (CSF) series brings together researchers in computer science to examine foundational issues in computer security. Over the past two decades, many seminal papers and techniques have been presented first at CSF. The CiteSeer Impact page (http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/impact.html ) lists CSF as 38th out of more than 1200 computer science venues, top 3.11% in impact based on citation frequency. This year's CSF will be colocated with the 23rd IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS). It will be held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. New theoretical results in computer security are welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories. Panel proposals are sought as well as papers. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Access control * Anonymity and Privacy * Authentication * Data and system integrity * Database security * Decidability and complexity * Distributed systems security * Electronic voting * Executable content * Formal methods for security * Information flow * Intrusion detection * Language-based security * Network security * Resource usage control * Security for mobile computing * Security models * Security protocols * Trust and trust management While CSF welcomes submissions beyond these topics, note that the main focus of CSF is foundational security: submissions that lack foundational aspects risk rejection. Proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, will be available at the symposium, and selected papers will be invited for submission to the Journal of Computer Security. Important Dates Workshop proposals due: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 Papers due: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 Panel proposals due: Thursday, March 6, 2008 Notification: Monday, March 17, 2008 Camera-ready papers: Wednesday, April 9, 2008 Symposium: June 23-25, 2008 Program Committee Michael Backes, Saarland University and Max-Planck-Institute for Software Systems, Germany Gilles Barthe, INRIA, France Bruno Blanchet, ENS, France Iliano Cervesato, Carnegie Mellon University, Qatar Stephen Chong, Cornell University, USA Véronique Cortier, LORIA, France Jason Crampton, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Anupam Datta, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Úlfar Erlingsson, Microsoft Research Silicon Valley, USA Riccardo Focardi, University of Venice, Italy Cédric Fournet, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK Dieter Gollmann, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany Masami Hagiya, University of Tokyo, Japan James Heather, University of Surrey, UK Jonathan Herzog, Naval Postgraduate School, USA Peeter Laud, University of Tartu, Estonia Jonathan Millen, MITRE, USA John Mitchell, Stanford University, USA Mark Ryan, University of Birmingham, UK Andrei Sabelfeld, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden (chair) Ravi Sandhu, University of Texas at San Antonio and TriCipher, USA Andre Scedrov, University of Pennsylvania, USA Vitaly Shmatikov, University of Texas at Austin, USA Paul Syverson, Naval Research Laboratory, USA Jan Vitek, Purdue University and IBM Research, USA Paper Submission Instructions Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with published proceedings. Papers should be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers submitted in a proprietary word processor format such as Microsoft Word cannot be considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required to attend CSF to present the paper. Papers may be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style available for various document preparation systems at IEEE-CS Press. Papers should be at most 12 pages long, not counting bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the paper must be intelligible without them. Papers not adhering to the page limits will be rejected without consideration of their merits. The paper submission website will open in January 2008. Note that the website is not configured to support anonymized submissions. Panel Proposals Proposals for panels are welcome. They should be no more than three pages in length, and should include the names of possible panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed a desire to participate. They should be submitted by email to the program chair by March 6, 2008. Workshop Proposals Workshop proposals are due November 20, 2007. Instructions on workshop proposals are at http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~andrei/CSF08/cfw.html Five-minute Talks A session of five-minute talks was successful in the last three years, so we are likely to have one again in 2008. Abstracts will be solicited around May. There are PDF and HTML versions of this call for papers at http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~andrei/CSF08/cfp.html .
