IEEE Secure Development Conference

Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center
Atlanta, GA
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy

Call For Research Papers and Tutorials

We solicit research papers on a broad range of topics relating to
secure systems development. Examples of topics that are in scope
include: development libraries, tools, or processes to produce systems
resilient to certain attacks; formal foundations that underpin a
language, tool, or testing strategy that improves security; techniques
that drastically improve the scalability of security solutions for
practical deployment; and experience, designs, or applications showing
how to apply cryptographic techniques effectively to secure systems.

​SecDev also ​seeks hands-on​ ​and​ ​interactive​ ​tutorials​ ​on​ ​processes,​
frameworks,​ ​languages,​ ​and​ ​tools​ ​for​ ​building security​ ​in.​ ​The​ ​goal​
is​ ​to​ ​share​ ​knowledge​ ​on​ ​the​ ​art​ ​and​ ​science​ ​of​ ​secure​ ​systems
development.​

SecDev also has calls for other types of contributions such as posters
and tool demos, and abstracts from practitioners.

    Call for Practitioner Session: https://secdev.ieee.org/2022/practitioners/

Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

    Security/resiliency-focused​ ​system​ ​designs​ ​(HW/SW/architecture)
    Tools​ ​and​ ​methodology​ ​for​ ​secure​ ​code​ ​development
    Risk​ ​management​ ​and​ ​testing​ ​strategies​ ​to​ ​improve​ ​security
    Security​ ​engineering​ ​processes,​ ​from​ ​requirements​ ​to​ ​maintenance
    Security benchmarks
    Comparative experimental evaluation
    From research to practice – gaps and transitions
    Programming​ ​languages,​ ​development​ ​tools,​ ​and​ ​ecosystems​ ​supporting​ 
         ​security
    Static​ ​program​ ​analysis​ ​for​ ​software​ ​security
    Dynamic​ ​analysis​ ​and​ ​runtime​ ​approaches​ ​for​ ​software​ ​security
    Automation​ ​of​ ​programming,​ ​deployment,​ ​and​ ​maintenance​ ​tasks​ ​for​ ​security
    Distributed​ ​systems​ ​design​ ​and​ ​implementation​ ​for​ ​security
    Privacy by design
    Human-centered​ ​design​ ​for​ ​systems​ ​security
    Formal​ ​verification​ ​and​ ​other​ ​high-assurance​ ​methods​ ​for​ ​security
    Code​ ​reviews,​ ​red​ ​teams,​ ​and​ ​other​ ​human-centered​ ​assurance

Submission​ ​Details

    The website for submissions:

    https://secdev2022.hotcrp.com/
    Submissions must use the two-column IEEE Proceedings style:

    https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html 

Submissions​ ​must​ ​be​ ​one​ ​of​ ​two ​categories:

Research Papers​, up to 6 pages, excluding references and well-marked
appendices.

These must be well-argued and worthy of publication and citation, on
the topics above. Research papers must present new work, evidence, or
ideas. Position papers with exceptional visions will also be
considered. Authors of accepted papers will present their work at the
conference (e.g., in a 30-minute slot) and their papers will appear in
the conference’s formal IEEE proceedings.

To improve the fairness of the reviewing process, SecDev will follow a
light-weight double-blind reviewing process. Submitted papers must (a)
omit any reference to the authors’ names or the names of their
institutions, and (b) reference the authors’ own related work in the
third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work …” but rather
“We build on the work of …”). Nothing should be done in the name of
anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing
the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should
not be omitted or anonymized). Please see the double-blind FAQ for the
answers to many common concerns about SecDev’s double-blind reviewing
process. When in doubt, contact the program chairs.

Tutorial​ ​proposals, up to 2 pages and cover (a) the topic; (b) a
summary of the tutorial format highlighting hands-on aspects and
possibly pointers to relevant materials; (c) the expected audience and
expected learning outcomes; (d) prior tutorials or talks on similar
topics by the authors (and audience size), if any. The title of the
submission should be prefixed with “Tutorial:”. Tutorial proposals do
not need to be anonymized.

Accepted tutorials should aim to be either 90 minutes or 180 minutes
long. We strongly encourage tutorials to have hands-on components and
audience interactions. We do not recommend simply slide
presentations. Accepted tutorials may provide an abstract that will
appear in the conference’s formal IEEE proceedings. Tutorials will
occur on the first day of the conference (Tuesday, October 18). Note
that if an accepted tutorial requires special materials or
environments for hands-on participation, we expect the authors to
provide necessary preparation instructions for the attendees.

At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must register
for the conference and present the paper/tutorial.

We​ ​are​ ​devoted​ ​to​ ​seeking​ ​broad​ ​representation​ ​in​ ​the​ ​program​ ​and​ ​may​
take​ ​this​ ​into​ ​account when​ ​reviewing​ ​multiple​ ​submissions​ ​from​ ​the​
same​ ​authors.​

If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​any​ ​questions​,​ please​ ​email​ ​​secdev22-pc@ieee.org.
