====================================================================== Call for Workshop Proposals: 16th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) 2009 Web page: http://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2009/cfw.shtml ====================================================================== Important Dates: * Submission deadline: Saturday, February 28, 2009 ====================================================================== Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held in conjunction with ACM CCS 2009. Each workshop provides a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of security research. A workshop must be a full day in length. Proceedings of all workshops will be available (on a CD) to the workshop attendees. Each workshop will also offer on-line proceedings through ACM Digital Library, with a separate ISBN. Workshop Proposal Submission ====================================================================== For new workshops, proposals should include: * Workshop title * A draft "Call for Papers" articulating the scope and topics covered by the workshop * A brief summary and justification for the workshop, including anticipated benefits to the ACM CCS community. * Planned activities * Expected number of submissions and acceptance rate * Expected number of attendees * Program chair(s), and, if available, tentative program committee * A one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications, including research and conference/workshop organizing experience For previously-held workshops, in addition to the above, proposals must provide the following information, for the most recent incarnation of the workshop: * Number of submissions * Number of accepted papers * Number of registered attendees Please submit workshop proposals by email to the ACM CCS Workshop Chair, Ting Yu (yu@xxxxxxxxxxxx). All workshop proposals will be reviewed by the CCS Steering Committee. Proposal Evaluation Criteria ====================================================================== * The workshop is within scope of computer and communications security and concerns a coherent and worthwhile technical topic. * Its novelty with respect to other forums, especially with respect to other CCS workshops. * Its likely impact on the target community, including likely high participation. * One of the best ways to show likely interest is to have a strong set of researchers who have agreed to serve on the PC. CCS Support for Workshops ====================================================================== If a workshop proposal is accepted, the ACM CCS workshop chair will work closely with workshop organizers. The ACM CCS workshop chair will help create/maintain the submission and reviewing websites for workshops, and is responsible for monitoring and coordinating organizational aspects of all workshops.
