* CALL FOR PAPERS * The 32nd IEEE Symposium on Security & Privacy May 22-25, 2011 The Claremont Resort, Oakland, California, USA Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee of Security and Privacy http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2011 Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (S&P) has been the premier forum for computer security research, presenting the latest developments and bringing together researchers and practitioners. We solicit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer security or privacy. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation of secure systems. Topics of interest include: Access control Accountability Anonymity Application security Attacks and defenses Authentication Censorship and censorship-resistance Distributed systems security Embedded systems security Forensics Hardware security Intrusion detection Language-based security Malware Metrics Network security Privacy-preserving systems Protocol security Secure information flow Security and privacy policies Security architectures System security Usability and security Web security This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive; S&P is interested in all aspects of computer security and privacy. Papers without a clear application to security or privacy, however, will be considered out of scope and may be rejected without full review. See below for detailed submission instructions. ** SYSTEMATIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE PAPERS. Following the success of the previous year's conference, we are also soliciting papers focused on systematization of knowledge (SoK). The goal of this call is to encourage work that evaluates, systematizes, and contextualizes existing knowledge. These papers will provide a high value to our community but would otherwise not be accepted because they lack novel research contributions. Suitable papers include survey papers that provide useful perspectives on major research areas, papers that support or challenge long-held beliefs with compelling evidence, or papers that provide an extensive and realistic evaluation of competing approaches to solving specific problems. Submissions will be distinguished by a checkbox on the submission form. They will be reviewed by the full PC and held to the same standards as traditional research papers, except instead of emphasizing novel research contributions the emphasis will be on value to the community. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and included in the proceedings. ** WORKSHOPS The Symposium is also soliciting submissions for co-located workshops. Workshop proposals should be sent by Friday, 27 August 2010 by email to oakland-workshops@cs.ucsb.edu. Workshops may be half-day or full-day in length. Submissions should include the workshop title, a short description of the topic of the workshop, and biographies of the organizers. ** IMPORTANT DATES All deadlines are 23:59 PST (UTC-8). Absolutely no extensions! Workshop proposals due: Friday, 27 August 2010 Workshop notification: Friday, 17 September 2010 Research papers and SoK papers due: Friday, 19 November 2010 Acceptance notification: Monday, 31 January 2011 Final papers due: Friday, 4 March 2011 ** INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION These instructions apply to both the research papers and systematization of knowledge papers. All submissions must be original work and must precisely document any overlap with previously published or simultaneously submitted papers from any of the authors. Simultaneous submission of the same paper to another venue with proceedings or a journal is not allowed. Failure to clearly document such overlaps will lead to automatic rejection. Papers must submitted using the conference submission server: http://oakland32-submit.cs.ucsb.edu/ Submissions may be started now, and updated at any time until the submission deadline expires. ** ANONYMOUS SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted in a form suitable for anonymous review: no author names or affiliations may appear on the title page, and papers should avoid revealing their identity in the text. When referring to your previous work, do so in the third person, as though someone else wrote it. Only blind the reference itself in the (unusual) case that a third-person reference is infeasible. Contact the program chairs if you have any questions. Papers that are not properly anonymized may be rejected without review. ** PAGE LIMIT AND FORMATTING Papers must not exceed 15 pages total (including the references and appendices). Papers must be formatted for US letter (not A4) size paper with margins of at least 3/4 inch on all sides. The text must be formatted in a two-column layout, with columns no more than 9 in. high and 3.375 in. wide. The text must be in Times font, 10-point or larger, with 12-point or larger line spacing. Authors are encouraged to use the IEEE conference proceedings templates found at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting ** SUBMISSION FORMAT Papers should be submitted in Portable Document Format (.pdf). Authors should pay special attention to unusual fonts, images, and figures that might create problems for reviewers. Your document should render correctly in Adobe Reader 9 and when printed in black and white. ** PUBLICATION AND PRESENTATION Authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate publication clearances; authors of accepted papers are expected to sign IEEE copyright release forms. One of the authors of the accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the conference. Submissions received after the submission deadline or failing to conform to the submission guidelines risk rejection without review. For more information, contact the Program Co-Chairs at: oakland11-pcchairs@ieee-security.org. ** POSTERS There will be a poster session at an evening reception during the conference. Posters are solicited that present recent and ongoing research on topics related to security and privacy. The poster session is an excellent opportunity to obtain feedback on ongoing work. More information on poster submissions will be available on the conference website soon. ** WORK-IN-PROGRESS TALKS A continuing feature of the symposium is a session of 5-minute talks where attendees can present preliminary research results and new ideas. More information on work-in-progress talk submissions will be available on the conference website soon. ** PROGRAM COMMITTEE Program Committee Co-Chairs: Giovanni Vigna, UC Santa Barbara Somesh Jha, University of Wisconsin, Madison Giuseppe Ateniese, Johns Hopkins University Michael Backes, Saarland University and Max Planck Institute for Software Systems Michael Bailey, University of Michigan Lujo Bauer, Carnegie Mellon University David Brumley, Carnegie Mellon University Cristian Cadar, Imperial College London Shuo Chen, Microsoft Research Weidong Cui, Microsoft Research Anupam Datta, Carnegie Mellon University David Evans, University of Virginia Nick Feamster, GeorgiaTech Kevin Fu, UMass Amherst Debin Gao, Singapore Management University Jon Giffin, GeorgiaTech Steven Gribble, University of Washington Virgil Gligor, Carnegie Mellon University Guofei Gu, Texas A&M University Thorsten Holz, Bochum University, Germany Trent Jaeger, Penn State University Farnam Jahanian, University of Michigan Yoshi Kohno, University of Washington Engin Kirda, Eurecom, France Shriram Krishnamurthi, Brown University Christopher Kruegel, UC Santa Barbara Wenke Lee, Georgia Tech Ben Livshits, Microsoft Research Michael Locasto, University of Calgary Sergio Maffeis, Imperial College London Z.
