Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (SP) has been the
premier forum for the presentation of developments in computer
security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers
and practitioners in the field.
In order to further expand the opportunities for scientific exchanges,
this year we also encourage interested parties to organize
workshops associated with the conference.
The typical purpose of such a workshop is to cover a specific aspect
of security and privacy in more detail, making it easy for the
participants to attend the specialized workshop and IEEE SP
with just one trip. Furthermore, the co-location offers synergies for the organizers.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHOP SUBMISSIONS
Workshop submissions should be sent to oakland07-pchairs@ieee-security.org.
Workshop submissions due:
October 27, 2006.
Acceptance decision: November 17, 2006.
There will be some interaction in deciding upon and setting up a workshop,
but the initial proposal should already contain as much as possible
of the following information:
- Contact information of the workshop organizer.
- Date (Wednesday afternoon, May 23, or Thursday, May 24)
and expected length of the workshop.
- Technical proposal (1 page minimum): Topics to be addressed; importance of these topics;
preliminary program committee; proposed review process.
- Publication policy: Workshop with or without official proceedings;
potential publication via web, tech report, or CD. Note that IEEE is
explicitly not responsible for the publication of proceedings.
- Expected number of participants and other expectations on the meeting room(s).
A workshop associated with IEEE SP will be under the financial and legal
responsibility of the IEEE Computer Society. This has great advantages for organizers, e.g.,
with respect to risk coverage and insurance, but also brings some requirements.
The SP organizing committee can help you with the following: meeting rooms
at the conference hotel, collection of advance workshop registration fees,
budgeting assistance, interaction with the IEEE, and linking to the workshop
web pages from the main SP web pages. All the actual running of the workshop
remains the responsibility of the workshop organizers.
If you are interested, we will send you a more detailed list of the responsibilities,
meeting room options, etc., and would hope to jointly set up a successful workshop.
