Call For Papers The EUSecWest 2009 CFP is now open. Deadline is April 7th, 2009. EUSecWest CALL FOR PAPERS LONDON, U.K. -- The third annual EUSecWest applied technical security conference - where the eminent figures in the international security industry will get together share best practices and technology - will be held in downtown London at the Sound Club in Leicester Square on May 27/28, 2009. The most significant new discoveries about computer network hack attacks and defenses, commercial security solutions, and pragmatic real world security experience will be presented in a series of informative tutorials. The EUSecWest meeting provides international researchers a relaxed, comfortable environment to learn from informative tutorials on key developments in security technology, and collaborate and socialize with their peers in one of the world's most most important technology hubs and scenic cities. The timing of the conference allows international travelers to travel to Berlin for FX's Ph-Neutral on the weekend, and Rennes the following week for SSTIC. We would like to announce the opportunity to submit papers, and/or lightning talk proposals for selection by the EUSecWest technical review committee. This year we will be doing one hour talks, and some shorter talk sessions. Please make your paper proposal submissions before April 7th, 2009. Some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited number of speaking slots are still available. The conference is responsible for travel and accommodations for the speaker (one speaker airfare and one room). If you have a proposal for a tutorial session then please email a synopsis of the material and your biography, papers and, speaking background to secwest09 [at] eusecwest.com . Only slides will be needed for the paper deadline, full text does not have to be submitted - but will be accepted if available. The EUSecWest 2009 conference consists of tutorials on technical details about current issues, innovative techniques and best practices in the information security realm. The audiences are a multi-national mix of professionals involved on a daily basis with security work: security product vendors, programmers, security officers, and network administrators. We give preference to technical details and new education for a technical audience. The conference itself is a single track series of presentations in a lecture theater environment. The presentations offer speakers the opportunity to showcase on-going research and collaborate with peers while educating and highlighting advancements in security products and techniques. The focus is on innovation, tutorials, and education instead of product pitches. Some commercial content is tolerated, but it needs to be backed up by a technical presenter - either giving a valuable tutorial and best practices instruction or detailing significant new technology in the products. Paper proposals should consist of the following information: 1. Presenter, and geographical location (country of origin/passport) and contact info (e-mail, postal address, phone, fax). 2. Employer and/or affiliations. 3. Brief biography, list of publications and papers. 4. Any significant presentation and educational experience/background. 5. Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one paragraph description. 6. Reason why this material is innovative or significant or an important tutorial. 7. Optionally, any samples of prepared material or outlines ready. 8. Will you have full text available or only slides? 9. Language of preference for submission. 10. Please list any other publications or conferences where this material has been or will be published/submitted. Please include the plain text version of this information in your email as well as any file, pdf, sxw, ppt, or html attachments. Please forward the above information to secwest09 [at] eusecwest.com to be considered for placement on the speaker roster, or have your lightning talk scheduled.
