HICSS-40 JANUARY 3-6, 2007 Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_40/apahome40.htm Highly Trustworthy Computing CALL FOR PAPERS Fortieth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences January 3 - 6, 2007 (Wednesday-Saturday) Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort and Spa on the Big Island 425 Waikoloa Beach Drive Waikoloa, Hawaii 96738 Tel: 1-808-886-1234 Fax: 1-808-886-2900 www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com HICSS conferences are devoted to advances in the information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in both theory and practice. Papers may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature. Submissions undergo a double-blind peer referee process and those selected for presentation will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Additional detail may be found on HICSS primary web site: http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu Mirror site http://www.is.cityu.edu.hk/hicss/ Starting in HICSS 40, the Software Technology track has a cluster of complementary mini-tracks in the area of computer security. The Highly Trustworthy computing (HTC) mini-track focuses on both applied and fundamental research to support the protection of high value information, such that both the behavior of the system and the absence of contrary behavior can be ensured to a high degree. The use of formal methods, hardware-based security primitives, and rigorous development processes are some of the significant components in HTC. We are interested in papers describing new results in the application, theory and foundations of highly trustworthy computing. We invite papers that demonstrate results through mathematical techniques as well as those that provide convincing analysis and/or data regarding new concepts. The topics covered in this category include, but are not limited to the support of highly trustworthy computing through: * System development and verification techniques * System and network security architectures * Support for dynamic security policies * Relationship of dynamic security to multi-level security * Hardware-software co-design * System and network evaluation techniques * Formal models and other theoretical foundations HTC web site: http://cisr.nps.edu/HICSS/ IMPORTANT DEADLINES Abstracts Authors are encouraged to contact Minitrack Chairs for guidance and indication of appropriate content. Manuscripts are not accepted based on abstracts. Full manuscripts must be submitted by June 15. June 15, 2006 Authors submit full manuscripts to the Peer Review System, following Author Instructions found on the HICSS web site (www.hicss.hawaii.edu). All manuscripts will be submitted in double column publication format and limited to 10 pages including diagrams and references. Since manuscripts will undergo a double-blind review, author names and affiliations must not be included on the original manuscript. This information will be collected later through the system. August 15 Acceptance notices are sent to Authors via the Peer Review System. September 15, 2006 Authors submit Final Version of accepted papers following submission instructions on the Peer Review System web site. At least one author of each paper must register by this date with specific plans to attend the conference to present the paper. Early Registration fee applies. (General Registration fee applies Sept 16-Dec 15.) December 1, 2006 Deadline to guarantee your hotel room reservation at conference rate. December 15, 2006 Deadline to receive conference registration refund. Late registration fee applies. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS * HICSS manuscripts must contain original material not previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere. * HICSS will conduct double-blind reviews of each submitted manuscript. * Consult the conference website (www.hicss.hawaii.edu) for the listing and description of Minitracks for HICSS-40. * Contact the Minitrack Chair(s) by email for guidance and verification of appropriate content. (Optional but strongly encouraged) * Manuscripts may not be submitted to more than one Minitrack Chair. (One will be summarily rejected.) If unsure which Minitrack is appropriate, submit abstract to the Track Chair for guidance. * Submit full manuscript according to detailed instructions found on the Peer Review System website.
