CALL FOR PAPERS
ESORICS 2004 9th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security
Institut Eurécom, Sophia Antipolis, French Riviera, France September 13-15, 2004 http://esorics04.eurecom.fr ESORICS 2004 will be collocated with RAID 2004
Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer security are solicited for submission to the Ninth European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2004). Organized in a series of European countries, ESORICS is confirmed as the European research event in computer security. The symposium started in 1990 and has been held on alternate years in different European countries and attracts an international audience from both the academic and industrial communities.
From 2002 it will be held yearly. The Symposium has established itself as
one of the premiere, international gatherings on Information Assurance. Papers may present theory, technique, applications, or practical experience on topics including:
access control accountability anonymity applied cryptography authentication covert channels cryptographic protocols cybercrime data and application security data integrity denial of service attacks dependability digital right management firewalls formal methods in security identity management inference control information dissemination control information flow control information warfare intellectual property protection intrusion tolerance language-based security network security non-interference peer-to-peer security privacy-enhancing technology pseudonymity secure electronic commerce security administration security as quality of service security evaluation security management security models security requirements engineering security verification smartcards steganography subliminal channels survivability system security transaction management trust models and trust trustworthy user devices management policies
The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case studies and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions of papers discussing industrial research and development. Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font), and at most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them.
To submit a paper, send to esorics04@dti.unimi.it a plain ASCII text email containing the title and abstract of your paper, the authors' names, email and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and identification of the contact author. To the same message, attach your submission (as a MIME attachment) in PDF or portable postscript format. Do NOT send files formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files). Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
Submissions must be received by March 26, 2004 in order to be considered. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by May 30, 2004. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright statement and must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. Authors of accepted papers must follow the Springer Information for Authors' guidelines for the preparation of the manuscript and use the templates provided there.
