Conference: 17 midday - 19 midday July 2013. Motivation and Scope -------------------- Electronic voting is a very active research area covering a broad range of issues, from computer security and cryptographic issues to human psychology and legal issues. The aim of Vote-ID is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governmental institutions, all working on e-voting systems. The scope covers all aspects of electronic voting systems, including, but not limited to: * design and evaluation of e-voting systems * security requirements and formal analysis * voter authentication and identity management * cryptographic voting schemes * verifiable election technologies * methods for reconciling voter identification with vote privacy * usability and accessibility * deployment and lifecycle concerns * implementation issues and trade-offs * legal, political and other interdisciplinary issues The proceedings of VoteID 2013 will be published as part of the Springer LNCS series. The proceedings of VoteID 2007, VoteID 2009 and VoteID 2011 appeared as volumes 4896, 5767 and 7187 in Springer LNCS. The proceedings will also be made available under open access on the University of Surrey non-commercial archival repository, and authors will be required to provide their copies of accepted papers for this purpose. Paper Submission Guidelines --------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers describing original work. Case studies of deployed systems are welcomed, so long as there is sufficient originality and rigour in their design or analysis to constitute scientific research. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Submissions should be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgement or obvious references. Each submission should have a contact author who should provide full contact information (email, phone, fax, mailing address). At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to present the work at the conference. Papers must be formatted in LaTex, using the Springer LNCS LaTex style, and submitted as PDF files. Please check at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/ for style and formatting guidelines. The length of the submitted paper should not exceed 15 pages, excluding the bibliography and appendices, using the Springer LNCS style. Voting System Demonstrations ---------------------------- We also invite demonstrations of electronic voting systems, to be presented in an open session on Wednesday morning. Participation is open to all, but we request a two-page summary by 1st July describing the system¹s requirements and properties, such as: * whether the system is intended for remote or attendance voting * which types of elections it accommodates * whether it addresses the needs of voters with disabilities * what sort of verifiability it provides * the extent to which it guarantees vote privacy * whether it has been deployed in a real election * where to go for more information Organisation ------------ General chair: Steve Schneider (University of Surrey, UK) Program chairs: James Heather (University of Surrey, UK) Vanessa Teague (University of Melbourne, Australia) Program Committee: Josh Benaloh (Microsoft Research, USA) Jeremy Clark (Carleton University, Canada) Paul Gibson (Telecom SudParis, France) Joe Hall (Center for Democracy and Technology, Washington, USA) James Heather (University of Surrey, UK) Hugo Jonker (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg) Reto Koenig (Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland) Helger Lipmaa (University of Tartu, Estonia) Olivier Pereira (Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium) Mark Ryan (University of Birmingham, UK) Peter Ryan (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg) Berry Schoenmakers (University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands) Vanessa Teague (University of Melbourne, Australia) Melanie Volkamer (TU Darmstadt, Germany) Poorvi Vora (George Washington University, USA) David Wagner (Berkeley, USA) Douglas Wikström (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden) Zhe Xia (University of Surrey, UK)
